Handy Dandy!

This past Christmas, a friend at work gave me one of these handy dandy gadgets...
It's a coffee cup warmer and it works great, during the winter months it kept my cup of coffee nice and hot on my desk.  I like those overlarge coffee cups and sometimes the coffee gets cold before I finish.  It works equally well for a cup of soup. 
Last week I was in the office of another friend who got the same gift and she was not using it for coffee or soup.  She had a small ramekin with a scented wax cake, like a Scentsy in it.  Her office smelled wonderful much like mine does, only I have a $25 Scentsy warmer on my desk.  These mug warmers cost much less than that and do the same job!  Someone is very clever and it ain't me!  It seems my friend's daughter-in-law taught her this  little trick, she uses a mug warmer and places her jar candles on them instead of lighting them for their scent.  They last forever and you don't lose the last few inches in the bottom of the jar when the wick is burned away. 
I've brought my mug warmer home and it's sitting on my bathroom counter with a small jar candle on it and sure 'nuff, it works like a charm!

I use mine for heating candles that are too low to burn with a wick too. These warmers are even at the dollar store in our area ..

We used them at work because we weren't allowed to have lit candles in the office.

I will have to think about getting one...my problem is I'd forget to turn it off.
