{A Christmas To Remember Gift Guide} Zippo Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

For decades, Zippo has been known for their high quality and durable products, especially their lighters. And with Zippo’s variety of products, you are sure to find practical gifts/stocking stuffers for those family and friends who are grill masters, outdoorsmen, or candle lovers. For example, the Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter would make the perfect gift of choice for those outdoorsmen/grill masters in your life, and those candle lovers are sure to “glow” from delight with the gift of a Zippo Candle Lighter. We were blessed with the opportunity to review those two Zippo products!

About Zippo:

Zippo Manufacturing Company is the maker of the world famous windproof lighter with the Lifetime Guarantee. Other products from Zippo's diverse line include a variety of pocket knives, key holders, money clips, writing instruments, tape measures, and the new Multi-Purpose Lighter.

Zippo has produced over 400 million windproof lighters since its founding in 1932. Except for improvements in the flint wheel and modifications in case finishes, Blaisdell’s original design remains virtually unchanged today. The Lifetime Guarantee that accompanies every Zippo lighter still guarantees that “It works or they fix it free”.

We received the Snowflake patterned Zippo Candle Lighter to review. The snowflake pattern is so cute! It features a red background with the white snowflakes and is the perfect pattern for the winter months ahead and the holidays.


About the Zippo Candle Lighter:

Add a touch of elegance with the Zippo Candle Lighter. With 7 stylish designs, the Zippo Candle Lighter creates the ambience essential for a big celebration, a romantic dinner for two or a relaxing bubble bath. Plus, it makes a great holiday, housewarming or wedding gift. The Zippo Candle Lighter is a must-have for the fashionista with special occasions in mind.

Zippo® Candle Lighter Features:
• 7 Unique Styles Perfect For Any Room or Occasion
• Zippo Lifetime Guarantee
• Sleek Ergonomic Design
• Patented child safety button
• Fuel-level Indicator
• Adjustable Flame Dial

The Snowflake patterned Zippo Candle Lighter came pre-packaged in an adorable, black, clutch-like box that includes a handle and two Velcro closures (only patterned lighters come in this gift box). The box makes for a wonderful gift presentation in which you could hang from the tree, as well as a stylish storage place for the Snowflake Zippo Candle Lighter when not in use.

I love that the Zippo Candle Lighter is reliable (with it always being ready to work when you need it) and easy to operate. It features a child-resistant safety button on the back of the lighter – a great safety feature! The child safety button should not pose a problem for adults to operate the Zippo Candle Lighter; however, I found it is easier to use both hands to ignite the Zippo Candle Lighter because my hands are so small. I also love that the Zippo Candle Lighter is refillable, and there is a fuel-level indicator on the side that is very easy to see. The adjustable flame dial on the bottom of the lighter turns is another nice feature that allows you to adjust the flame to your desired level.


Also, I love all styles/colors that the Zippo Candle Lighters are available in, including patterned stylish designs (snowflake, asian floral, cheetah, and patriotic) and classic colors (cabernet, pink, sea foam, and pearl). With all those choices, you are sure to find the Zippo Candle Lighter that will make the perfect gift or stocking stuffer.


We also received the Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter (OUL). The Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter truly is built to handle all of the elements and rugged conditions that come with camping, hunting, fishing, or hiking. It also is great for you to use around your house, such as lighting your fireplace, grill, or a bonfire.


Zippo OUL® - Outdoor Utility Lighter:

The OUL® - Outdoor Utility Lighter - is built to handle the rugged conditions that come with hunting, fishing and camping. The wind-resistant dual-flame and durable metal construction mean it can take on the outdoors no matter the season.

Zippo OUL® - Outdoor Utility Lighter Features:
• Rubber grip
• Rugged metal construction
• Advanced ignition system
• Fuel-level indicator
• Adjustable flame
• Patented child-resistant safety button
• Ideal for camping, fishing, hiking, and more.

The Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter is ready for business! It features a durable metal construction with a rubber grip that makes it extremely durable and ready for the elements. It also features a dual flame that burns hotter and stronger than most utility lighters, a fuel-level indicator, and an adjustable flame. The patented child-resistant safety button on the Zippo Utility Lighter is a great safety feature. It took me a couple times to ignite the utility lighter because of the child safety button and the utility lighter’s larger size; however, the outdoorsmen in your life should have no problems operating the Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter, as my husband “B” had no problems at all igniting it.

Overall, we love the Zippo Candle Lighter and Outdoor Utility Lighter we received! The candle lighter is gorgeous and practical at the same time! Best of all, we don’t have to worry about burning ourselves when trying to light candles anymore! We would definitely recommend the Zippo Candle Lighter to anyone! And the Zippo Utility Lighter is a great product that would make a wonderful gift or stocking stuffer for those “do it all” men in your life.
