    Thanks OP but I think that TSV is seriously underwhelming.
    Why would anyone want so many of the same fragrance?
    53 items but only 3 fragrances!
    It'd prefer lots of different ones, 2 of each fragrance would be fine but 17 of each???
    Not for me.
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    Smart Ideas in Sutton Coldfield are a huge stockist of Yankee and they have some of the Christmas tarts reduced to 62p, plus a lot of the other fragrances too.

    Plus they do a loyalty scheme too.

    We share it between three of us, so just 17 each. Some get used for gifts etc and the rest burnt.
    The annoying thing is the two glass holders that come with each pack. You only need so many holders. :)

    Plus this time there seems to be a lot of US flavours, well they are US only at moment.

    yes I was very disappointed with the clinton yankee candle sale..being I work in retail I am always working boxing day and the run up to new year and miss the great bargains of the xmas stock but I had a few days off after boxing day so I got soo excited and rushed into clintons to find they havent done the usual bargains :( I am wondering if they decide to sell them on to hallmark discount shops..our local hallmark shop sells them cheaper than clinton does at the sale!!



    The Clintons near me has 25% off some of the fragrances at the moment, can't remember whch ones though & not enough to tempt me.

    I realise these are not Yankee, but bought some of these today, and they smell really good and strong. A great alternative to Yankee tarts and a bargain at £1.00 a bag reduced from £3.50 (free delivery to store)

    Thanks for this, good find.

    Although I'd gone off the melts a bit as find them a bit messy & wasn't gonna bother with anymore once I'd used the last of what I have in but worth a try at that price.

    I ordered the TSV and am planning on splitting it into more than one lot as pressies for birthdays this year - I'll probably buy some cheap (but nice) baskets and make hampers with them. Plus keeping some for me of course :D
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :
  • just been to the Hallmark store in Leeds, they had lots of the tarts half price including Christmas Eve, Hot Cider amongst others all around 60p, I think there was also some half price medium jars but not sure of the fragrances HTH may be worth checking your local :)

    They had a variety of large & small jars, votives & tealights in:

    Fireside Treats
    Merry Marshmallow
    Snowflake Cookie
    Candied Orange
    Christmas Memories
    Some sort of caramel one....

    Also a few tea light holders etc....

    Also bagged a few quality family Christmas cards at 3 for £1.. Some were originally £4 each so chuffed with those too!!

    They also had some lovely boxed cards with 75% off if anyones interested.

    Picked these up from M & S today, smaller than expected but a reasonable strength of fragrance to them.
    The coconut one does have a purple tinge to them though as though they are discoloured, unsure if they're meant to be like that or if the'd just been stored with the purple option.
    Not overly impresses all in all.
