Blowing out a big candle display one by one is slow, and a little undignified by candle number twenty.

Here's the trick: use a handheld ball pump (the kind for sports balls), without the needle. A few gentle pumps push just enough air to snuff each flame quickly and safely, with no wax splatter.

It's perfect for large candle setups, saving you time at teardown while keeping the ambiance, and your composure, intact.
