i had a couple of spike ones but the tops snapped off!

I have a ufo parasol light clamped onto an empty wine bottle - makes a lovely table lamp.

And of course, one of the first jobs after setting up camp is obtaining an empty wine bottle before nightfall!

Exact same... found the poundland ones packed smaller than any of the supermarket ones which was another bonus. Broke a couple last year though so I hope they have them back in...

Noticed today that Sainsburys are doing buy 1 get 1 free on all their solar lighting... including solar fairy lights!
