Thanks, were they the budget home inspirations ones or the premium yankees ? Also, how much were they?

Didn't know there was a candle thread!

£15 reduced from £40 as per my post title.

It's these.

Thanks, that’s a shame it’s the budget yankees. I got all excited for a minute :rotfl:

Not a bad price though although the home inspiration ones do get heavily discounted.

Sorry, didn’t see that you had clearly put £15 in the title x

Boots had a few reduced Yankee Elevations (square jars) in this afternoon and also some Woodwick ones, that are now owned by Yankee Candle.

Jinx

Large jar yankee candles in Lanark B&M for £15. Clean cotton, black cherry, cherry blossom and a few other scents. Also have some of the 'home inspiration' ones.

Xmas shopping started

Only bought a few Poundland candles/tealights before.

What is a reasonable amount to be paying for Yankee Candles (sizes)?

These are RRP prices https://www.yankeecandle.co.uk/browse/scented-candles/jar-candles/_/N-7t9?view=Grid

Votives (original/ classic) seem to RRP around £1.99.

Personally my target price is £1 but I'll go up to £1.25/£1.30.

Happily I found https://www.yankeebundles.com which is at the lower end

Quick question...

How well do the large jars burn down? Do they melt back to the sides, if burned for say, 4 to 5 hours at a time.

I've had other various candles and they only ever seem to melt back in a circle about 2inch diameter max (around the wick), therefore wasting wax, if the container/candle is wider than that.

I usually stick to tealights for this reason.

They burn great if you keep the wick trimmed and go down the jars nicely. I also use an Illuma lid or shade.

I personally only buy the melts now though as I think they fill the room with scent just as well and i can chop and change smells more often.

As above, plus don't blow them out until the melted wax has reached the sides (time will depend on the temperature of the room). This will prevent 'tunnelling'.
