Here it is:
A Candle Warmer!
Looks rather boring, yeah?
But it’s not! It’s a really cool tool, good for so much more than warming candles. You can use it to melt or warm coconut butter, vegan butter (yay—no splattering/popping, which is what happens if you try melting vegan butter in the microwave), peanut butter, etc.
While I eat my Chocolate Mudslide Oatmeal (or whatever else I’m eating), the coconut butter does its thing on the candle warmer.
Then, when I’m ready for it… it’s ready for me too!
But the candle warmer has another use…
Ever get annoyed at how warm beverages lose their warmth rapid-fast?
Voila! Keeps your tea, hot water, etc. piping hot while you enjoy the rest of your meal. How much more could you possibly ask of a gadget that only costs $5 to $10?!
Nice idea. That is a good one for college dorm living.
oh my gosh. what a genius way to keep my coffee warm!
What a great little gadget! And that mudslide outmeal looks outrageous.
You know, one Christmas my mother-in-law (not at that time though) gave me a mug-warmer… so like the candle warmer but that is specifically for mugs of tea and such and came with a mug. If only I could figure out where it ran off to….
Nice thinking! I betcha you could warm wax to shave with, melt chocolate, get water warm for tea, and get your candle action going…all with one appliance. I LOVE it and the way you think 🙂

I’m glad you put a picture of this, because I just became aware of candle warmers the other day! Please tell me: what is the point of warming something that you are setting on fire? I just don’t get it! I mean, it cant’ get much warmer than that, right?
cute panda mug! i’ve been wanting one with a lid like that.
I never would have thought of that! I have a candle warmer tucked away in a closet somewhere… if only I can remember which one! When I find it, I’ll definitely relocate it to the kitchen for such ingenious purposes as these.
Most creative thing I’ve seen all day! I LOVE it! I may have to pick one of those up for my tea.
I saw those on an end-cap at Michaels. Totally buying one next time I go there. Brilliant Katie!
