The only one of the new fragrances that I have not had is the Snow in Love. I haven't burnt Sugared Apple yet but was not impressed really by either Cranberry Ice (didn't have any of the "frosty" smell of Cherries on Snow IYKWIM) or the Apple and Pine Needle. As soon as my sister walked in she said it smelt of curry. I have the last bits of this large candle burning in a tart warmer in my bathroom now. Wish they would bring back Jack Frost.

The tray and shade were a good find though. I have a set in my hall way with the Autumn Leaves design on and as it's sitting on a teak console table it looks good all year round.

I tried some of these when B&Q sold them and found them really naff. I use wax tarts most of the time and the SH tarts did not "burn" for as long as original YC.

I only burn tealights at Christmas when I display a wreath on my coffee table that I has tea light holders pressed into it. I put a medium jar in the middle of it. I do burn samplers all year tending to put two on either side of the wax tart burner I have on my mantlepiece. I don't like buying YC before I've smelt them IRL though as I just wouldn't be bothered to return them to QVC if I didn't like them and be stuck with ones I don't like IYKWIM. The kit itself though is excellent value. I've worked out it should be £47.25 excluding the holders so a good saving if you use these.

The cherries on snow is LUSH isn't it!! I only managed to get a sampler.
I got the Cranberry Chutney yesterday, haven't burned it yet but smells nice. i do have a Cranberry Ice but it doesn't smell as nice (moves it into Gift pile....)
I've never ordered off QVC but enjoy watching the Yankee hour, and picking up hints - 'trim the wick' etc etc - how sad am I

Does anyone know what's going on with that? I ordered 4 off Littlewoods on the 2nd and haven't heard anything to say I won't be getting them. They were my effort at starting my Christmas shopping early! £8 for the big jar did seen too good to be true but sitting at "processed" in my account.

Details are in gone but was it any good, littlewoods posted to say they would let customers who purchased have one at the cheap price and would contact customers directly in the coming days to arrange this? Hth

Thanks Tam, I hadn't seen that. :beer:

If true, that's amazingly generous of Littlewoods! They didn't have to do that at all. :T

Just received a phone call from Littlewoods.The candles were mispriced and they are allowing you to buy one only at the £8 price.I suppose it's better than nothing

Wrong thread! The littlewoods/ very one is in "gone but was it any good" The littlewoods rep posted this info a few days ago but I agree with you, definitely better than nothing:)
