Mother’s Day is fast approaching and with it comes the need to buy gifts for the special women in your life. If they are candle lovers, why not consider a twist on the usual scented candle gift…A Scent Simmer Pot and Melts in a variety of fragrances is sure to be the perfect Mother’s Day Gift!If you aren’t familiar with this form of “candle”, you may be wondering what it is and why you should consider this alternative. Let me explain.Melts or tarts, as they are sometimes called, are small, wickless pieces of wax that you burn in a melter which is heated by either an unscented tea light or electricity. Melts are typically longer lasting than tea lights or votives and have a stronger scent. The advantage to using melts is that they are less expensive than votives, smell stronger, and you can change your scent as often as you like. When the fragrance is gone or you want a change of scent you just pop out the wax and start a new one. It can be an inexpensive way to try a large variety of scents or experiment with custom blending your own scents by melting more than one fragrance at a time. Think Hot Apple Pie a la mode (Hot Apple Pie and French Vanilla)!A Scent Simmer Pot uses the heat of a light bulb to warm your melt or tart and release the fragrance. You may have heard them called “tart burners”, “melting pots”, “tart melters”, or “melt warmers”. There are two different kinds of melt warmers – electric and tea light. The tea light burners heat the melt using the flame of a tea light placed beneath it while electric melt warmers use electricity to heat a plate or a light bulb that then melts the tart.I prefer the Scent Simmer Pot type of warmer that uses the heat of a light bulb to melt the tart for several reasons. First, there is no open flame to worry about so it’s a safer alternative to candles and offers a way to scent offices, stores, or dorm rooms where having an open flame is prohibited. Also, the design of most Scent Simmer Pots allows the soft light of the light bulb to peek through providing a replacement for the candle glow you lose by removing the flame. Most importantly, I have found that the fragrance released from the melts (particularly the natural soy/vegetable wax melts that are so popular) is better with the stronger heat of a light bulb.Consider a unique way to give the gift of fragrance with a simmer pot and melts in a variety of fragrances or try a Melt of the Month Club so she continues to receive new scents each month of the year. She’ll have the Scent Simmer Pot forever and will think of you each time she uses it! Your mom, grandmother, aunt, friend, or mentor will love it!
