I love this wick dipper for putting out my candles. I burn a lot of candles and prefer to dip the wicks instead of blowing or snuffing them out since dipping doesn't have that smoke that smells like birthday candles being blown out. It's lightweight and easy to use. The length keeps me a comfortable distance from the flame and the gold color is cute and looks nice on the end table. I also use this to scoop out any pieces of burned wick that fall into the melted wax sometimes. I think it'll last a long time too.
