Varying by light source, base shape and potential fillings, these malleable lamps can hold just about anything you can imagine: your favorite beach combings, fresh or dried flowers, black-eyed peas, preserved lemons or precious family photos.

A few of the many choices:

• Vea Menu Galerie candle holders allow dry or wet fillings, since the tea lights sit in separate holders at the top.
• Wolford lets you fill a base with clear or colored water and float its spinning oil candle on top.
• A range of electric lamps feature clear glass bases to can fit any theme or palette.
• Some lamps even breathe new life to the ol’ terrarium.

Whether it takes only dry fillings, only waterproof, or either, a fillable lamp is an empty canvas, just waiting for your inspiration.
