Partylite prices?

Options
I've been invited to a partylite party and just wondered if anybody could give me a rough idea of the prices please?

Everywhere I've read has said they're quite pricey, and whilst I'm happy to buy a couple of small things I want to be prepared if it's going to be £10 for a tealight...

Also, what are the party's like? I've never been to a bodyshop/similar one either so not sure what to expect.

Thanks for any replies!

    Here's a link to their website. I've never been to one so I can't help with anything else!

    You can have a look the catalogue here:

    It's pretty expensive!

    Oh wow, maybe wasn't far off with £10 a tealight lol

    Thanks very much for the catalogue, didn't realise it was online.
  • I went to a party several years back to support a friend.
    From what I remember the consultant showed off lots of different products and talked about the quality of the wax that they used. She had samples of all the candles so you could check the scent.
    I bought some tealights and a holder (which I never took out of the box as I was about to move house - it was pretty but I ended up re-gifting it as I never used it). They aren't cheap but they do burn well and have a nice scent.
    A pack of 12 tealights is about £7-8. The various holders ranged in price but were quite expensive (I think the one I bought was £15 and was at the lower end of the price scale). I think this is where the consultants and hosts try to make their money.

    I guess the plus side is that you pay on the night (?) so can't spend more than you take. There is some lovely things in the catalogue, I can't really justify the cost of the bigger things but am a bit more prepared for the prices of votives etc. now

    I seem to remember paying about £8 for tealights when I went to a party.They were scented but seemed expensive compared to the plain tealights from places like IKEA.

    I try to avoid all those "parties".You feel obliged to buy something, usually something you don't want. I'm always shocked at how much some people do spend at them.
  • I love the Partylite candles, they are more expensive but you get a dozen tealights for £7 to £8 and they last up to 6 hrs each and burn cleanly, no black sooty marks on your walls, plus they're fragranced throughout whereas cheap versions are only sprayed with a fragrance on the top so don't smell nice all the way through burning. Lots of my friends love it as it's top quality for people who love their candles :)
