The 10 Best Fairy Lights

Because the copper wire of the Minetom Starry (around $9) is flexible, it's not only great for decorating but also for crafts, since it will hold the position into which you bend it. And if you're not a fan of copper coloring, it comes in silver, as well.

Your guests will be charmed by the Lemontec Solar (appx. $14), as each bulb has a fetching droplet-shaped cover that's eye-catching, but not garish. As you might have guessed, they're powered by sunlight, so there are no frequent battery changes or burden on your electric bill.

Every order of the GDealer Twinkle (around $13) comes with two strands, both of which are 20 feet long with 60 bulbs, so you can cover a lot of space. No matter where you choose to arrange them, whether on a tree or your bed's canopy, they're simple to operate with the included remote.

It's the details that make the 12APM Waterproof (appx. $16) worthy of consideration. For instance, it plugs right into a USB port, but also arrives with a power adapter you can use in any standard wall socket, making it versatile in a range of settings.

If you like the look of glass globes but not the fragility, the plastic NSen Mini LEDs (appx. $20) might be just the ticket. A strand is 44 feet long with 100 lights in various colors for a whimsical look, and it offers eight different modes, such as "slo-glo" and "chasing/flash."

Despite the name, you don't have to hang the Twinkle Star Window Curtain (about $16) over your draperies, as they work equally well in a doorway, on a wall, or even dangling from the ceiling. They give off a warm white glow, so expect a delicate, romantic atmosphere.

With 10 brightness levels, the Homestarry Warm White (about $17) give you the ambiance you seek, right at your fingertips. And although each strand is only about 16 feet long, every order arrives with four, so they're a fine option for covering several small areas.

You can create just about any mood or celebrate any event with the GDealer 33 Foot Firefly (appx. $20) because, unlike many, they let you select the color you want, instead of providing multiple random colors. They've also got several lighting modes for further customization.

Try something a little different with the Impress Life Sea Glass (about $15), which have soft amber, blue, and green tints that would fit right into a beach-themed room. Or, for a look that's even more on the nose, you might opt for the crab, palm tree, or flamingo options.

The TaoTronics Dimmable (appx. $14) claim to be totally waterproof, although some users have found that these simply can't hold up to heavy or constant wetness. Nevertheless, if you'd like your patio or deck to glow and don't receive downpours that often, they might do the trick.
