The Deal: Wisteria’s Thanksgiving candles on sale

Wisteria has chopped 30% off a collection called the First Thanksgiving candles. They come in two assortments: as a pair of 7-inch-tall Native Americans, right, or as pilgrims who look like a cross between Fisher Price toys and Hummel figurines. In a six-pack, each candle is about 5 inches tall.

So with Thanksgiving less than three weeks away, why are they on sale?

And does anyone else suspect that people just don’t want to set fire to candles depicting human beings? (Or at least they won’t pay full price to do it?)

If you collect such things, just give thanks for the discount -- or for the fact that you don’t have 2-year-olds who cry when you set toy people on fire.

The Pilgrim candle sets have been reduced from $21 to $14.70 each.

The Native American candle sets, originally $19 apiece, are now $13.30.

I find it interesting that the Native American man and woman are the same height, whereas the male pilgrims are taller than their female counterparts. Must be the hat.
