Cold morning beverages

Sipping a hot beverage on cold mornings can be the wakeup you need, but ensuring your drink stays hot can be difficult. That's why the Ember Smart mug can be so helpful! Smart LED lights on the mug let you know when your beverage has reached the perfect sipping temperature, and auto sleep technology turns the device on and off automatically, so there's no need to worry about manually controlling the heat.

Dirty, soot-stained candles

Rather than creating excess soot through traditional candle burning, try this candle warmer that uses a 50-watt halogen bulb for even melting, plus it can extend the fragrance life up to two times longer than using the wick. A built-in timer shuts off the warmer at your preferred time, and the warmer has adjustable brightness so you can control the level of fragrance released.
