product review - holiday amphora diffuser a.k.a. the gold star

So I bought the holiday amphora diffuser, a.k.a. the gold star. From what the catalog and our training materials say, it is a star made of pourous clay, and when you put a few drops of home fragrance oil in the back it diffuses through the clay and scents your space without a candle.

Since so far everything is so much cooler in person than in the catalog, I figured that this on would be the same, and I should get one to show off. I was right, it is much cooler than in the catalog. First off, it's much bigger than in the catalog. Bigger is always better. It's also very shiny and gold. I really like it. It's one of those things that would be cool hanging from your christmas tree, but would also look good in your home all year round. I have not put oil in it yet, so I can not attest to how well it works, but the concept is simple enough, and it comes with directions on the tag.
Not only that, but at $12 it's a bargain. And, get this, it's part of the buy 2 get one free sale. So you can give some one a gold star (I'm sure you know someone who deserves a gold star) and 2 home fragrance oils for less than $20. For tha price, the boy's teachers might be getting gold stars this holiday.

I'm thinking I'm going to use an ornament holder that I got at a yard sale to display it. Other than hanging it, there's really no good way to display it. If you get a chance, take a look at my web site, there is a really good picture of it there under holdiay home fragrance.
