Pros and cons
What we like
- Keeps a coffee or tea mug warm while working
- Doubles as a wickless warmer for scented candles
- Sits flat on a desk or side table as a tidy accessory
- Practical enough for an office gift swap
What may bother
- Electric, so it needs an outlet near the desk
- Works best with flat-bottomed mugs and jars
- A scented candle is not included and has to be bought separately
Our verdict
81 / 100Give it to a desk worker who constantly reheats their coffee. It is a small, useful present for coworker exchanges. Think twice for someone with no free outlet or who mostly drinks from a travel cup.

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
