Ann, I'm not sure about reusing the Glade oil containers, though I've wondered it myself. I hate tossing anything that might otherwise be reused, so I've more than a few empties lying around. I used to use the ceramic rings that sat on top of normal light bulbs, but had to stop when the twirly shape bulbs took over. I'd be curious to see if anyone has found something reusable that works with the new bulbs or starting a campaign to write Glade and talk them into making their little oil holders refilable. Granted they may not like the idea since one could then use other brands of refill/eessential oil.
Great idea for a thread.

You can get plug in diffusers at Yankee Candle company. Or, probably any candle store would have them.

graywings do they have refills you have to purchase or can essential oils be used?

I have seen the plug in oil warmers in the Yankee Candle stores, but don't see them on the website - just the candle-heated ones.

But here is one from Bath and Body Works. You pour the oil fragrance in the small bowl.

I don't know anything about the Glade/DIY scents as I've been using Electric Tart Warmers for several years now and find them not only more cost effective but safer than tart warmers that use a small candle to heat the wax.

I also put timers on two of my Electric Tart Warmers.
During the winter, with windows closed most of the time, I find if I set the timer to turn on the Electric Tart Warmer a half hour before I wake up, I don't wake up to a musty/closed-up smelling house.
I wake up to the scent of Downy Softener....the tart scent I always purchase.

I can also purchase the Downy Softener Fragrance Oil ....add a few drops to the already melted tart when it needs refreshing.

I purchased a one ounce bottle of Un-cut fragrance oil (Downy Scent) last November and I still have 2/3 of the bottle left.....that's how little one needs to freshen their melted tarts in the Electric Warmer.

Last week I received a new type of tart warmer (linked below) and so far, so good!
I have one plugged into our master bathroom outlet next to the medicine cabinet and one in the kitchen close to the trash can area.

I wouldn't use these close to the floor....in an outlet that can be reached by a furbaby or young child, but where I have them right now, they are completely out of reach by both and do a good job of keeping the closed-up kitchen and bath not smelling musty.

With both electric warmers, if I want to change out the wax/soy tart, I just put the little cup with old wax in the freezer for 10 minutes and it pops right out into the trash can.

Thanks amity and graywings...you got me inspired to do some searching online too. What do you think about the electric oil warmer linked below? Would this work for refills of aromatherapy oil?

Oh I'm loving these plug in warmers. I'm going to have to check the stores for them today while out shopping. Thanks ladies!

RunningInPlace,

Oh wow...that is really a pretty electric warmer!
And I had never been to that site so Thank you SO Much for listing it......I've got a new place to browse tonight with my after dinner coffee. LOL

Yes, as long as it's Electric......
My requirements:

Must have removable little bowl on top (where you would place the tart). Nothing worse than having the Electric Warmer be all one piece and trying to maneuver it to get the wax out or get the bowl cleaned.

Must have an on/off toggle switch on the cord.
I don't want to have to reach behind a piece of furniture to unplug to turn the warmer on or off.

Also, in a pinch, if you need another warmer, I've used those electric coffee Cup warmers that people keep on their office desks, with a pretty little stoneware bowl on top to warm the Tarts.

If you work outside the home, don't forget that Timer.
Set it to turn on about an hour before you get home....you'll walk into a fresh smelling house instead of one that has been closed up all day.

Here are examples of the type of Tart Warmers I have.
Simple, clean lines without a lot of detail or embossed design to catch the dust. LOL
Also, it's hard to find my favorite colors....TerraCotta and Mustard....in ceramic, electric tart warmers. These simple warmers come in those colors. lol

The last three warmers are shown with a Candle Tart in the removable bowl.

But lately I've seen some wonderful, detailed Warmers and I'm starting to get antsy about getting a 'pretty' one for the master bedroom.

go to www.re-scent-it.com They offer (supposedly) some of the same oils as the original in bulk, so you can refill
