Warm White Fairy String Lights, 3m 30 LED, Battery

Thin silver wire, 3 m long, dotted with 30 tiny warm white LEDs spaced about 10 cm apart. The wire bends easily and holds the shape it is given, so the string can wrap around a mirror frame, coil inside a glass jar or lantern, or weave through flowers and a table centrepiece. Once lit, the small points of warm light look delicate and soft rather than bright, which keeps the focus on the decoration itself.

A small battery box powers the lights and carries a simple on and off switch. It takes 3 AA batteries, which are not included, and it is small enough to tuck behind a frame, under a jar or inside a lantern so that only the lights show. With no plug to find and no cable running to the wall, the string can sit exactly where it looks right, even far from any socket.

The string suits bedrooms, bookshelves, gift tables and dressing tables, and it brings a festive touch to celebrations such as Eid, weddings and birthdays. Inside a glass vase or bottle on a side table, it makes a soft evening light, and paired with a lantern or jar it becomes a simple ready made gift. When not in use, the wire can be wound loosely and stored for the next occasion.
