As the weather gets colder, you might consider lighting a candle to set the mood. But for various reasons you might not want to play with fire—that’s where candle wax warmers come in.

First things first: What’s a candle wax warmer? It distributes scents with a heat source other than an open flame, such as an electric light or a lamp. Some wax warmers include a dish for melting wax cubes, while others simply warm up jar candles on a hot plate. Many also include a removable dish so you can use them for wax cubes or jar candles.
Why choose a wax warmer? Well, wax melts absorb heat at a slower rate than candles with an open flame, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run, and you can adjust the strength of your scent by adding more melts to the heating dish. Wax warmers are also a mess-free choice compared to scented candles—ever find soot or wick residue on your walls months after lighting up a candle? And of course, open flames can be dangerous when unattended, which isn’t a problem with wax warmers. Best of all, they have one for every fragrance and season: You might choose fall candles, such as a pumpkin candle when the temperatures dip or a Christmas candle when the holidays begin.
