A tiny fire extinguisher the size of your thumb would look nice on the table or shelf beside lit candles. Its CO2 canister in bright red enamel would connect via a trigger to a short hose ending in a small cone. When it’s lights out, a one second shot of carbon dioxide safely douses each flame.

Does the extinguisher come with a matching Dalmation fire dog and fire hydrant salt and pepper shakers? (+) |

Also useful for putting out dollhouse fires. |

I read the title of the idea and I bet myself it was a [FarmerJohn] idea. [+] |

My dad used to use a device that gave a quick squirt of CO2 for knocking insects out so they could be more easily collected and examined. |

Apparently originally designed to pop corks out of wine bottles, it was powered by a Sparklets mini CO2 canister. |
|
| |
You could probably use one for putting out candles, if they were still made - they were withdrawn from the market as the wine bottles had a tendency to explode before the cork popped out! |

If you messed up wax would fly allover the place. [+] |

I seem to remember a science teacher filling a cup with Co2 because it is heavier than air and then pouring it on a candle to extinguish it.
If I didn't just spontaneously invent that memory, then your canister of Co2 could fill a snuffer container that you could pour with no splatter. |
