Advent Candle

kittycat204

Does anybody know a bargain shop selling advent candles? I've had one for years, usually one I've squirreled away the previous year after buying it in the sales. I seem to of run out and don't want to pay John Lewis prices.

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried the 99p shop? Not that I've seen them in there, I haven't been in recently, but I'm flagging them up as they do sometimes have good candle finds this time of year. Last year, I saw some beautiful white slightly sparkley snowball candles in an upmarket garden centre near to where we live. They were £6.99 each. I only wanted a couple to finish off a couple of Christmas hampers I'd made for friends so I thought that was too expensive. A couple of days later, I found what looked like EXACTLY the same candles in the 99p shop for......99p each! Could be worth a look. Or you could try to invent some sort of advent candle idea yourself. I'm planning to have 24 tealights (cos I happen to already have loads of them in) arranged along my mantlepiece. I'm going to write the date on the metal holders, arrange some greenery (from the garden) around them & then I'm going to light one every evening so we can count the days left till Father Christmas comes!

Aldi have some for £1. They had red, or cream ones in my local store.

they had some as a special item in lidl a couple of weeks ago. if theres one nearby it might be worth a look to see if any are left.

Charity shops tend to have them as part of their christmas stock.
