I bought a candle warmer a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby because my sister had been going on and on about hers. She bought hers because it stopped my nephew from trying to blow the candles out all the time. Mine doesn't have a tealight though, I just plug it in and set the candle on it.

I use candle warmers at home for my glass jar candles--they're great. I also got one for each daughter at college since they can't have open flames in their dorms, although I had to make sure and warn one of them not to use hers with a non-glassed in candle. :rolleyes:

I love yankee andles and Gold Canyon. I also like the jar candles that Home interior carry.

I use one all the time. I have some second candles with bad wicks I got from a local candle company, and that is the perfect solution for them. They get heated up and the wax gets melted, but you don't have to burn them.

OPhiARen, you're talking about tarts which are completely different. A jar warmer is (as SydneyK said) like a hot plate. You put the jar on it and plug it in. It's quite fabulous and you don't have to go through a million tea lights.

Hey, that factory is right down the road from me :) They have nice things and twice a year they have a huge tent sale. You can't find parking within a mile when they have that. I love going there and getting the candles that have slight color defects. They work just as well and are a heck of a lot cheaper. They also have the fun candles you can give away as gifts that have money in them, from $2-$50. I loved those when I was younger.

Hm ... I've never seen anything like that. Interesting. So you just put any kind of jar candle on it?

Re: Candles
 

Please give this company a try: Sweet Scents Candles The quality of the candles are wonderful; especially the three wick ones. They have an incredible selection of awesome, unusual scents and the prices are extremely reasonable ($16 for a three wick tin).

I truly believe you'll love them and, no, I don't work for the company! :)

Another vote for PartyLite... they cost too much money than I am personally comfortable paying for candles, but then I just remind myself of how long they last and how lovely they smell.

I just bought a really nice pineapple candle from Wal-Mart. It's one of their "Think Spring" things. Evan Scent candles are popular around this area, and one of my chapter alums makes them :)
