Holiday Gift Guide #22: Candle Warmers, Etc Review & Giveaway

Although I love the smell of candles, I do not like the risk of having an open flame, both for the obvious fire hazard, as well as the potential danger it has for my curious little ones who would probably try to touch it. That's why I've become a big fan of candle warmers. They are a great alternative to lighting a candle and give off the same great fragrance.

A few weeks ago I shared our review of Candle Warmers, Etc with you. If you missed it, be sure to head over and check out our thoughts on the adorable Jack O Lantern Plug-in Fragrance Warmer...great for the Fall season. Here is a little information about the company in case this is your first introduction to them...

Founded in 2001, the idea behind Candle Warmers, Etc was conceived when it was realized that there should be a different method used to release fragrance from a candle. Over the years this company has continued to grow, recently ranking them by Inc. 500 as the 57th fastest growing consumer product's company in the US. Offering candle warming appliances and other related giftware appliances and accessories to accent and fragrance the home, Candle Warmers Etc. also domestically manufactures and distributes candles under the Jamie Clair brand of hand-poured, scented candles bringing both wicked and wickless candle options.

From our review, you can see we were impressed with the candle warmer we received. That's why I was happy to also have the opportunity to review their Santa Fragrance Warmer...perfect for Christmas and the winter season.
As I pulled itout of the box, I thought the warmer was really cute. My kids did too! They were instantly drawn to the fact that it was Santa and thought it was a lot of fun to look at. As with the plug-in warmer I reviewed, the Santa warmer was larger than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. It's the perfect size to put in larger rooms like family rooms or living rooms especially.
Of course, we couldn't wait to plug it in and see how it looked lit up. I really like the holes around the beard and how the light glows through. It gives it detail and makes it unique.
The way this warmer works is pretty simple. There's a warming bulb inside that quickly warms the dish to melt the scented wax cubes. We were sent Christmas Day scented wax melts which really smell great. The decorative ceramic dish holds the wax and melts it. I was surprised how quickly I could smell the yummy fragrance. It really filled the room.
Best of all, I am able to enjoy a great fragrance without worrying about smoke damage, fire hazards, or the kids getting hurt while around it. It gives me peace of mind and looks great too!.
