Once relegated to the back shelves of $2 stores, oil burners have been experiencing a solid comeback in recent years. This one by Maison Balzac makes a super-cute last minute gift. In striking Pink glass, the Maison Balzac Brule Parfum Oil Burner will add a touch of beauty to Mum’s bedside stand. Pair it with an essential oil from our offerings and you’ll have a beautiful gift ready to go. To use, Mum just needs to add some water and five drops or so of an essential oil to the hollowed top of the burner, then light a tea light in the base. All that’s left for her to do is relax and soak up the soothing scents.
