Using your personalized Christmas lantern is a breeze. First, take the lantern out of the package. There are batteries included, so just insert them properly into the battery compartment. Once the batteries are in, turn on the lantern to see it light up. When choosing what to engrave, you can think of a warm message, your family name, or even a lovely photo. This will make the lantern truly special. As for maintenance, keep it away from water as it's made of plastic and might get damaged. If the lantern gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place. That way, you can enjoy this meaningful keepsake for many holidays to come.
