Four years in development, the Candle Aire Fragrance Warmer incorpo- rates warming to infuse the fragrance with a fan that disperses the fragrance better than any other candle or warmer. The fragrance comes in a Candle Aire tin that sits inside the candle warmer. The fan disperses the fragrance into the air, while the glow of a flickering light bulb creates the ambiance of a real candle without the danger of an open flame. The combination of the whisper- quiet fan and warming plate fragrance larger areas faster than a burning candle, and with seven styles, there's one to suit every decor. The Candle Aire tins of scented wax come in a variety of different fragrances – 11 now and 40 by the time the product launches to the retail marketplace on June 1, so there'll be a scent for everyone too. The fragrances will include the same scent families in the Candle Warmer line, from citrus and floral to spicy and holi- day scents. The Candle Aire Fragrance Warmers will retail for $39.99, with the fragrance tins selling for $8.99 for a 4-ounce tin that will provide a warming time of about 60 hours – the same length of time that you typically get from a 16- to 18-ounce candle. Warmers booth, retailers in attendance at the International Home + Housewares Show can see the company's products in the Pantone Color Watch display in Lakeside Center. "We've been included in the Pantone Color Watch display since 2009, which we're grateful and excited about. If you look at the range of products we have and the finishes we have, they always work well with Pantone's trends," Barnes said. "We have a group of designers that goes out into the marketplace and studies the current trends to predict what coming trends will be, and the depth and breadth of products that we have reflects current interior dec- orating trends." Visit Candle Warmers in booth #S4256. After the show, visit www .candlewarmers.com. "It's as much a home decor piece as a candle warmer. We're really excited about it, and together with the Candle Warmer that we introduced last year, it'll be what we're talking about with people at the show," said Chris Barnes, Candle Warmers' Marketing Director and President. These new products come from the company that introduced the candle warmer to the market in 2001 and is the only company to hold patents on candle warming products. "Retailers are coming to us because this is the only thing we do, and we're the ones that started it," Barnes said. "We worked with both Intertek and UL to develop testing standards for this category. When they need something to give their candle sales a jump start, we're the company that people come to for that, and we're able to provide that for them." In addition to visiting the Candle TOTALLY BAMBOO CELEBRATES 15 YEARS Totally Bamboo is celebrating 2015, its 15th anniversary, with the introduction of The Family Tree Carver. Just like the branches on a tree, we all grow in differ- ent directions, but our roots remain as one. The company is as excited and com- mitted to creating beautiful bamboo products today as it was when it first started. The Family Tree Carver is indicative of this dedication to quality and great design. It begins with Bamboo End Grain Parquet, known for its benefit over other grain styles. Professionals say this grain delivers a good "feel" while chopping and dicing and continues to be their first choice in cutting boards. The Family Tree Carver, true to Totally Bamboo's roots of bringing unique design to the marketplace, is unlike any other. In addition to the gener- ous sized well along the edges, the intri- cately engraved tree is actually the juice trough that drains into the collection well at the base of the tree. Just as the family tree grows strong, Totally Bamboo's beautiful laser etch- ing is permanent and will not be damaged by usage. It is easy to clean and easy to maintain; hand wash with warm soapy water, use a nylon scrub brush to clean the engraving, and rinse well. Periodically wipe it with Totally Bamboo's Revitalizing Oil or its new Coconut Wood Conditioner, to protect and beautify all bamboo and wood cutting boards, utensils, bowls and more. Totally Bamboo's Family Tree, along with the hundreds of other unique and useful bam- boo products in its line, make the perfect gifts to celebrate housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, holidays or just the love of gathering around the table, and can be laser engraved for a lasting legacy. Totally Bamboo celebrates 15 years together with its cus- tomers and staff, and with them, the com- pany is looking forward to the next 15 years. Visit Totally Bamboo at booth #S2157.

ESCALI SCALES: BIG PLANS FOR 2015 Escali Scales has already become a dom- inant player in the U.S. kitchen scales market, and it looks to expand upon that with an aggressive schedule of product launches in 2015. "We expect to launch more than 10 new scales through 2015," said Theo Prins, President of Escali. "Some of which will be debuting in Chicago at the Housewares Show." While Escali's kitchen, bathroom and professional scales will all receive additions, its line of bathroom scales stand to grow the most. "Really, we start- ed ramping up the launch of new prod- ucts in late 2014. We have already launched two new bathroom scales and a professionally minded kitchen scale," Prins points out. The new Easy Read Body Scale (#US200L) features an extra large dis- play with a blue back-light for instant visibility in any lighting conditions, even for those with less than perfect vision. It also fea- tures an ultra low profile which makes it very stable to stand on. The Body Analyzing Digital Scale (#BF180) is also new, and features an ultra slim and sleek black-glass platform. The scale measures body weight, body fat percentage, body hydration percent- age, muscle mass percentage and bone density, which are more metrics than any Escali scale has measured before. Both new bathroom scales will be available for demo in the Escali booth at the 2015 International Home + Housewares Show. When asked why Escali is planning to launch so many new scales in 2015, Prins responded, "Part of our value proposition to our customers is that we deliver modern and attractive scales. So, we're trying to reinforce that image by refreshing our product line." Furthermore, Prins notes that all of their INTRODUCING THE VINESSO COOLER BY BEVIAMO The Vinesso cooler by Beviamo Products is an attractive new dispenser that cools bottled or bag-in-box wines and other beverages to their preferred serving tem- perature. A unique thermoelectric cooling system with clever, tasteful and modern design: perfect for wine lovers with good taste! Convenient Design The unique design of the Vinesso cooler is made to hold most 1.5 to 3 liter sized bag-in-box packaging. It will also hold two 750ml bottles and comes with removable tank for chilling personal favorites. The unit can be connected to a standard 110 outlet, cooling beverages faster than a regular refrigerator, or 12 volt power supply making it perfect for tailgating, RV, camper or boat. After removing the power source, the Vinesso will keep product cool for approximately two hours. The elevated tap makes it unnecessary to lift the box or hold it at an angle to pour the last drop. The conven- ient retractable drip tray keeps the area clean and ready for the next serving. Always the Right Serving Temperature The Vinesso cooler has a dial thermostat control for optimal serving temperature settings. Perfect for Commercial Establishments Besides advantages for home use, the Vinesso is excellent for hotels, restau- rants and bars. Serve house wines by the glass perfectly chilled from the dis- penser. Not only does it save owners money serving from economical boxed wines, it saves storage space while reducing waste (no empty bot- tles to dispose of). Save time and money serving a single glass of wine as it is not necessary to open and store a bottle that is used occasionally. Simply pour directly from the Vinesso cooler – always fresh, at the perfect temperature and does not use up precious refrigerator space. Hotels can use in restaurant or banquet settings or as a revenue source placed in a controlled single serve lobby bar. Place in guest suites with or without the mini-bar. The Vinesso cooler creates bag-in-box sales of wine, milk, water, juice or tea from hotel convenient store, or sales by-the-glass. Coolers can be purchased for resale. Bag-in-box wines and beverages have many advantages: they stay fresher longer with less spoilage, are convenient, economical and easy to store, and now are easy to serve at proper temperature. More wines and beverages are being packaged this way because of the freshness, eco- logical aspects and overall acceptance of B-I-B products. Great for people of all ages, espe- cially those that may have a problem handling, pouring or opening heavy, bulky milk jugs or other beverage con- tainers. Save electricity with less open- ing of the refrigerator door. No need to use up valuable counter space in the kitchen; the Vinesso sits perfectly in the den, great room, patio, office, bar and even outdoors.
