There are few things more calming than coming home from a long day at the office and lighting a wax candle. It's a nightly tradition in my house, even when I feel too tired to get up from the couch. Trust me, it's a struggle sometimes.

My mind was blown when I learned that Candle Touch has developed the world's very first real-fire wax candle that can be lit using an app. Each candle has a self-ignition mechanism, which works in combination with Bluetooth technology that reaches as far as 60 feet. All you have to do is tap your finger, and you can light up to 10 candles at a time. Now that's what I call efficient.

An added benefit of Candle Touch is that it is both safer and more environmentally friendly than real candles or their flameless alternatives. You don't have to worry about burnt fingertips or other potential injuries from using lighters or matches. Each candle has a smart base loaded with a rechargeable battery, so you don't have to buy batteries at the store anymore.

You can pre-order this unique product on Kickstarter for $59.99 (for Candle Touch and one candle). Replacement candle refills cost $19.99 and come in ten different scents, including avocado and mint; lime and grapefruit; red grapefruit; and white tea and ginger.

Now I don't have to worry about getting up from the couch anymore!
