    Premium Presents are a new site for Yankee Candles. They're offering 10% off for new customers and free delivery if you spend £35. Ordered from them the other day - good service. :T

  • When I was visiting my brother in New York, we came across a craft show. One of the vendors had soy candles and soaps, and they smelled terrific. If I remember correctly their name was Wicked Scentz. I just did a search, yes, that's the name. Their website is still under construction. I still have a few candles left. But my favorites were the Apple Cinnamon, Sugar Plum, and Pumpkin Spice. Their lavender vanilla and oatmeal milk and honey soap was really good too. Left my skin real soft.

    I have seen a few threads recently on candles and seeing as the sales are in full force now I thought that now is the perfect time to invest.

    I would like to get a candle that has a longish burning time and has a really good scent. I have one on now that is Orchard Fruits from M&S, it smells lovely but is from last season so I can't get it anymore.
    Most of the ones I have seen in stores so far have just been Christmassy ones and I am not keen on those, they smell too 'spicey' for me. I prefer the ones that are more 'fruity.'

    I'm not so bothered about price as it is going to be a present for me anyway but I don't want to get ripped off if they are on sale somewhere.

    So what do you recommend?

    Thanks in advance.:j
  • Yankee candles are always nice ...they usually have a good selection in TK Max , much cheaper than anywhere else

    Ooh, thanks for the very speedy reply. I hardly ever get anything from my local TKMaxx but I will give it a go.

    There is one of those in the Trafford Centre I think. Not sure I fancy braving there though...

    It's worth it for the candles alone
