    You might find one of these fits the bill but even Asda have fragrance top-up oils on sale so one of theirs might be what you're looking for.

    I use the yankee candle scented things for my oil burner. Because the dish is shallow I have to cut the wax things into quarters... still quite expensive and a bottle of scented oil last LOADS longer. I drip some onto a ball of cotton wool and hide it somewere... wedge it behind the radiator :rotfl:

    Sometimes I just open the windows nice and wide and give the living room a quick polish :T

    I was curious so googled and found some 'recipes' for making your own diffuser oil for a reed diffuser

    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Also second essential oils in oil burner or I too use Yankee Candle tarts in oil burners ( wilko do cheap burners) they last ages and ages . I wouldn't waste money buying the artificial oil blends as they are very hit and miss - if you want Yankee candle tarts ebay is good and my personal favourite is clean cotton. Favourite essential oils are Lavender and Bergamot.

    I put a little drop of essential oil on my light bulbs.
    But I find the best way is to open all the windows and give the house a good airing


    PLEASE DO NOT PUT ESSENTIAL OILS ON LIGHT BULBS !! essential oils are highly flammable and should not be placed on light bulbs, even light bulb rings that are meant to sit on a light bulb and disperse the oil fragrance are very dangerous.

    I also love the reed diffusers. I went into one of those speciality shops asking for just the replacement oil as I didn't see any in the larger stores. They said you've got to buy the *set*. Rip off. I've got the nice bottles, heaps of reeds left. I just want the oil. :p

    Has anyone made the oil (what type) and the ratio of essential oils?
    PartyLite sell refills for reed diffusers and our oil 100% pure oil no alcohol.

    If interested in this pm and I can send you a catalogue!
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:

    Thanks candlegirl but I'm in Australia. I'll keep an eye out for Partylite. Don't think they're over here.

    I've bookmarked the recipes and once I source the DPG will give it a whirl.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)
