Yankee Candles?

Merry Christmas everyone.

When is a candle not a candle?...when it has not got a wick!

Have got a Yankee Candle oil burner for christmas gift, there are
no wicks on the candles? They are circular, no wick, what are you supposed to do with them?
Confused I am.
You live..You learn.:)

    It's a tart:D

    Put the tart in the burner and put a lit tea light under it. The tart melts and stinks the house out :D

    Yes I did have a think about it then it dawned on me, I thought they were the best you can buy, it smells very lavender which is a smell I love, not used it yet though.
    I take it you don't like them.:))

    They are highly perfumed so can scent the whole house. I like the Christmas cranberry ones best

    I have a question. I got tarts and burners last year. I have lit them loads of times - for hours and hours but there is still wax left- loads- are you meant just to throw them away after a while

    Best thing to do with tarts is cut them into 4 and use a quarter per burn.Well until the oils have done x x

    I tend to use a whole tart, burn it, then let it set again, then melt it again and so on until I get fed up with the smell. They tend to last for ages although the scent does get weaker over time.
  • You'd be amazed at the amount of people who ask this question!!!

    i halve my tarts - and generally after 4 sets of burning (3 - 4 hrs each time) they lose there smell, scrape out with the end of a spoon,

    Its always worth looking at Clintons - if you don't mind different flavours, they generally have some on offer.

    I bought a Yankee wax tart in baby powder fragrance as I had never tried them before,and I must say that the perfume has lasted for ages. Even when I don't burn the tart the delicate fragrance seems to linger all round my living room which is quite nice when you come down stairs first thing in the morning. This has now prompted me to collect all types of Yankee candles in different shapes and sizes in thousands of different fragrances,jar candles,wax tarts,tea lights,car fresheners,etc.

    I now have a couple in my bedroom and all round the house lol. My hubby says that our house is now starting to smell like a flower shop!:D

    Incidentally, has anyone browsed on their website? they have a 50% sale off selected items. >>https://www.yankee.co.uk

    Just to edit quickly,they currently have about 64 different fragrances in their collection at the moment and they are still adding more!

    It becomes an addiction doesn't it!!

    I work for a Hallmark Cards outlet and we sell them at 50% off, with a 25% staff discount on top of that. It's not good lol.
