If your significant other loves candles but hates burning through them so quickly, then they will be thrilled by a candle warmer lamp. This nifty gift will allow your Valentine to enjoy the smell and ambiance of their favorite candles without a flame, making them safer and more cost-effective.

There are eight options to choose from if another shape or color lamp would better suit your loved one.
