Decorating for the holidays can feel intimidating. Many people like to go all-out and deck every square inch of their homes with garlands, baubles, and figurines. Then, there are the trends. It might be tempting to spend hundreds on coquette-style ribbon decorations for the banister and Christmas tree, or invest in an all-new gingerbread-style ceramic village, but the truth is, small touches have the power to completely transform a room, too.

One stellar object can sometimes attract way more attention than an over-the-top display. If you have doubts, just check out Terrain’s rotary candle, which is available at Anthropologie. Priced at $22, it won’t break the bank, but it will make a big statement wherever you choose to display it. It’s a piece you’ll look forward to keeping out for the next two months and bringing out of storage year after year, so grab it in one of two styles (or both!) while it’s still in stock on Anthro’s website.

What Is the Rotary Candle?

You might be most familiar with Terrain for its outdoor accessories and gardening tools, but the brand also makes some pretty snazzy home decor, including holiday pieces like this one, which is sold at Anthropologie. This rotary candle is not a candle itself, but rather an accessory that holds a single tea light candle. Once you insert your candle and light it, the flame causes the carousel above to rotate. At nearly 7 inches tall, the candle holder isn’t big, but it’s still sure to draw lots of attention once it starts spinning. (If you have kids or young relatives visiting for the holidays, they’re bound to get a kick out of it.) Thanks to its small size, the rotary candle can go just about anywhere, like the coffee table, kitchen counter, or your desk or vanity. It comes in two styles — doves and reindeer — each of which boasts an eye-catching brass finish. No matter where you display your rotary candle, it’s going to dazzle and delight.

What Anthropologie Reviewers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.8/5

“This is just so cute! It was very easy to put together and started spinning as soon as I lit the tea light candle … the gold looks pretty with the light from the candle reflecting off it.” —MJW726

“This looks so magical during Christmas. For 25 days it rotates in our house, giving it such a magical vibe. I get so many compliments on this.” —Priya

“This is such a cute addition to my coffee table this winter! I got the snowflake one, and it is super dainty and cute. I didn’t even put a tea light in it; just put it near a large candle I burn, and it spins anyway!” —Mimimctoon

If you’re looking for a subtle way to make a major statement, you’re going to love the flair this piece adds to your space. All stocked up on holiday decor? You might consider giving it as a gift. After all, it would make a wonderful stocking stuffer or hostess present; you might even grab one in each style! It’s a small detail, but those are precisely what makes this season so special.
