Fragrance Lamps - A Most Unique Christmas Gift

So what do you give to the person who "has everything." When gift giving time comes around, many of us are left desperately trying to find the answer to this question. You know the routine. You go from store to store and gift shop to gift shop only to find the same things you've seen a thousand times and the same things your loved one already has 10 of!

Fragrance Lamps (AKA effusion lamps or catalytic lamps) make an excellent gift idea to overcome the challenge of giving that well thought out creative gift. Consider some these reasons.

1. Fragrance Lamps are UNIQUE - Go in just about any home in the United States and you are likely to find a scented candle or two (or twenty or thirty!). Everyone has them and you can buy them just about anywhere. Fragrance Lamps, however, are much more rare to be seen. Very few people own them as they are a very new trend in home fragrance. So, you are pretty safe to think that this will be a unique new addition to the home your loved one.

2. Fragrance Lamps are INTRIGUING - One of the coolest things about a fragrance lamp is the conversation piece that it becomes when someone asks what it is and how it works. Fragrance lamps are extremely interesting in that they operate on the chemical reaction process of Catalytic Combustion. Similar to the process that goes on in the Catalytic Converter in your vehicle as it purifies you exhaust, the Fragrance Lamp purifies and perfumes the air in your home through the catalytic combustion occurring within the platinum and rhodium plated stone wick on the Fragrance Lamp. How many of your household fragrance products can boast such an amazing claim?

3. Fragrance Lamps are USEFUL - We all hate the thought of giving a gift (or getting one for that matter) that will quickly find its new home in the dark corner of an attic or closet. True, it is the thought that counts, but why not get the best of both worlds and give something that will actually be loved and used by your loved one? Fragrance Lamps are not just made to look pretty on a shelf (although they do look beautiful! See #4), they are made to purifying and perfuming the air in your home. When it comes to making a home smell good, Fragrance Lamps are worth their weight in gold. Unlike a candle that would take hours to perfume a home, a Fragrance Lamp can quickly permeate an average home with wonderful scents in just 45 minutes.

4. Fragrance Lamps are BEAUTIFUL - Not only are Fragrance Lamps useful, but they add a great deal of beauty to any room simply as home decor. Fragrance Lamps come in a huge variety of wonderful colors and designs. Many of them are simply breathtaking pieces of art that add color and beauty to any setting.

5. Fragrance Lamps are AFFORDABLE - By now you're probably thinking that a gift this good must cost an arm and a leg. To the contrary, many Fragrance Lamps are quite affordable starting at around $20-$35. In most cases, these lamps come with everything you need to use the Fragrance Lamp including a complimentary bottle of Fragrance Lamp Oil. At the same time, there are Fragrance Lamps on the market such as Lampe Berger that sell for more than $100 up to the thousands of dollars. These lamps, however, are exactly the same in function as the less expensive brands.

So, what are you waiting for? Give the unique gift of a Fragrance Lamp this Christmas!
