I saw a Design on a Dime episode that went shopping for an entertaiment center at a Cost-Plus, and they ended up getting a pretty nice one (not their first choice, though) for about $250.
I'll be in my bunk.

Oh, hivemind....
There's a product I usually refer to as a "candle pistol" because you pull a trigger and it produces a flame. But it's much bigger than a cigarette lighter. What's its real name?

Barbecue lighter?

Huh. Doesn't sound quite right in a query letter for a bridal magazine on "practical tips from a wedding coordinator." Maybe I'll just call it a lighter.

But a cigarette lighter doesn't work nearly as well for candles -- it isn't designed to burn horizontally. When I hear "lighter", I think "cigarette lighter".

I've heard it called a utility lighter before as well as a multi-purpose lighter (although this last is a translation from Spanish, so take it with a grain of salt).

In our house, it's called the clicky fire thing, and is usually taken away from me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
