Burn a Yankee candle - Mistletoe - for that real Christmas tree smell when you only have an artifical one. Was really lucky today and managed to get 4 Yankee tarts in Mistletow at 21p each at a local garden cebtre

I thought this post would be asking for a Christmas tree smell and was gonna recommend the Mistletoe Yankee candle! My DH brought me back a candle jar a couple of weeks ago, have been burning it ever since. If you like the smell of fresh washing then cleaned cotton is fab too.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

:xmastree:Hi all where can you get these from as I've never heard of them, my son does'nt like my artifical trees as he says it's just not the same smell, and there's nothing like that smell of pine on a christmas morning, so unless I get something he's saying he'll forbid me to put them up next year as he say's they don't smell like christmas. so please let me know where I may buy some as christmas could be cancelled next year. thanks all.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

Yankee candles are some of the best smelling candles around https://www.yankeecandle.co.uk, My wife used to work in a shop in Belgium that sold them, and since we moved back to the UK online is the place to get them.
they have many christmassmeling candles which are all fantastic, mulled wine is nice too0 -
Try your local garden centre that has a gift section, Wyevale garden centres stock them or any candle shop.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

You sit the tarts on the top of a burner with an ordinary tealight underneath, which melts the wax in the tart and releases the smelljaneym8 wrote:i was given some of these tartlets as a pressie but not sure what to do with them exactly would you be able to tell me plz

Our local Coop has now started stocking a huge range of these candles, so you could try there.0 -

Sometimes you can find Yankee candles at TKMaxx"Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into someone else's nonsense, tell yourself: Not my circus, not my monkeys." - Mark Borkowski.

I have Yankee candles which I burn in the hall (the six small Christmas selection ones), but I use pine essential oil (Holland & Barrett) in my electric burner and it makes the room where the tree is smell very Christmassy. It can also be dripped onto a radiator or lamp bulb for the same effect. Now I have a lovely fibre optic tree, with the real tree smell, and no pine needles to sweep up!0
