The Kwanzaa collection · Thoughtful finds

Kinaras and candles for your gathering

Start with the way your family will use the display and the pieces you already have. Replacement tapers suit an existing kinara; a flameless set offers another kind of light. Check the selected set’s contents, fit and condition before the first evening.

Replacement wax tapers

Kwanzaa 365 seven-candle set

This set supplies three red, three green and one black unscented taper. It is useful when you already have a kinara and need a fresh candle set for the season.

Before you buy. The holder is not included. Compare the advertised 7/8-inch diameter with its sockets; readers report quicker burning than expected, especially for the black candle.

From customer reviews

Buyers appreciate the colors and appearance. Several report quicker burning than expected, especially for the black candle, so do not assume one set will cover long gatherings throughout the week.

Classic Style; wooden holder plus seven LED tapers, three red, three green and one black

A flameless display

Lothee flameless kinara set

The Classic Style set pairs a wooden holder with seven colored LED tapers. It offers a lighted display for a setting where your family prefers to avoid an open flame.

Before you buy. Check every candle and socket early. The listing’s battery information is inconsistent, so confirm the required AAA quantity and whether any batteries are included before ordering.

From customer reviews

Classic Style buyers like the appearance and flameless light. Two report nonworking candles or poor fit in the holder; check every light and socket before the gathering.

Display pieces in one set

DERTE kinara, candles, cup and mat set

DERTE bundles a wooden kinara, seven wax tapers, a wooden cup and a bamboo mat. The advertised holder measures 15 by 2.8 by 4.8 inches, giving a starting point for planning the table.

Before you buy. Inspect candle fit and the condition of the cup and lettering before the gathering. Food-contact suitability of the wooden cup is unverified; treat it as a display piece unless confirmed.

From customer reviews

Buyers appreciate receiving the main display pieces together. Two report difficult candle fit, and another received a broken cup and crooked lettering; inspect the parts well before the gathering.

A little planning

Before you choose.

Check fit before the gathering

Candle diameter and socket fit matter more than a photograph. Inspect the holder on a level surface and follow the supplied instructions; do not force a taper into a poor-fitting socket.

Plan the light

Keep burning candles attended, clear of fabric and other flammable items, and out of reach of children and pets. For LEDs, confirm battery requirements and test every light before arranging the table.

Understand the display

The history guide explains the symbols and their meaning. A decorative cup is not automatically suitable for drinking, and a bundled mat should not be assumed to protect surfaces from heat.
