You can get a bag of tealight candles (anywhere from 25 to 100) at the dollar store and some inexpensive votive holders and it will cost you far less.
Tealights are little but they burn for a few hours. They look like this:
But make sure you put them in holders because the metal on the bottom gets hot. Votive holders come in all colours and designs too.
And, thriftshops have shelves packed with holders for them now too. This is the season they sell best. So, you should be able to get some nice holders for very low prices.
Those tealights can be found scented too, if you like that. And, the regular unscented ones come in different qualities. Lately I go for the ones that last 6 hours most of the time, but, I do have some 4 hour lasting ones at home too.
I advice against buying the very wide 12 hour ones. Often the flame isn't hot enough to melt the wide tealights completely, and, thus makes them burn not effectively.
