Just a few million years ago, ice and fire were both state-of-the-art technologies, and had this Thaw candle been invented back then, it probably would have been condemned as some kind of witchcraft. Luckily, we're totally down with both frozen water and hot heat, so just find this kinda pretty and kinda cool.
This candle comes with a mould which you fill with water and freeze. You then place the hollow tube over the candle, which should melt at about the same rate as your tea light burns. The result is a unique thawing pattern each time, which you'll be able to stare at in fascination when the conversation with your friends withers and dies.
Good times.

Much too expensive for something that doesn't *do* anything, but oooh... fascinating.
I'm a big fan of spending money on ridiculous things. Gas bills? Not so much.
