We love to burn incense and candles, so I am always going through those long Bic lighters, which seems kind of wasteful. This little lighter looks just like the picture and works great. It lights candles instantly. I use little pinon brick incense that is too big to completely fit between the lighter prongs, but I am able to fit one edge of the brick, which is enough to get it started. When you turn the power on, you have about 10 seconds to use it before it turns itself off, which is smart. It's very easy to use. It came with a little USB cord that I plug in to a charging brick. It holds a charge for quite a while, though. There is also a protective plastic cap for the end. I think these will be great little gifts and will probably buy a few more.
