This candle warmer is one of NBC Selected reporter Zoe Malin’s favorite practical gifts. “It lets your giftee enjoy the fragrance of their candles without the open flame, which is especially useful if they have kids or pets,” she says. “It’s also beautifully designed. I love having mine out at home because it doubles as a piece of decor.” The warmer’s bulb melts the wax of whatever candle your loved one puts underneath it, and its height is adjustable. It also has a built-in dimmer and timer.
