My husband got me a really nice fountain for Christmas last year. It is in the shape of three candles sitting in a shallow dish with drips from the candles that channel the water to the other candles and then to the dish. The candles are surrounded by decorative rocks. It is so pretty! I love the way it sounds and I love that it gives the air some humidity too. The only problem is the cats have decided they like to drink from the flowing water so I have to fill it up every day. I do turn it off at night so they don't drink it dry. It's really funny to watch them get up on my couch to the couch table and drink from the flowing water. Sillies!
