Does anyone else share my obsession??
I can sometimes spend a small fortune on them and then just let them sit on my book case I've now turned into my Yankee candle display unit!!!
I am how ever currently burning a large jar of beach holidays smells lush. |

Are YC missing a trick? How come they don't do a Mature Gusset flavour?
Top tip : When testing YC's always sniff inside the lid.
Fave YC flavour? Freesia |

I just bought a giant Bahama one.. Lovely bright colour and double wick.
Get mine cheap at Boundary Mills, or the Hallmark outlet shop, or the yc shop in York outlet centre. |

Glad to know I'm not alone in my obsession.
I usually shop at clitons and love aromas in the city centre.
How ever I went to Batley mill today and got myself Fiji beach tumbler jar smells nice cold. Hope it does when I finally get round to burning it!!
I need to find time to burn the new ones. Vanilla bourbon smells delish!!!
My fave so far has been berrylioious was so annoyed when the discounted it as I never got to get a large jar. Just have about 4/5 tarts in it!! |

"I like Kitchen spice in the winter and baby powder or fresh linen in warmer weather x"
Never smelt kitchen spice. But heard it smells like curry when burning. So put me off buying a melt in it!!
Baby powder is nice and fresh. But not as good as fresh linen and clean cotton xx |

Oh wow just be careful the wax doesn't slide to one side!! Heard a few horror stories of being storing them out of sight and when they get them back out the wax has gone funny. Don't want that with your rares x |

I closest to the one at Batley!! It's very hit and miss there. |

They could at least make them out of soy wax instead of paraffin.
I did candle making for a bit, made some pretty good ones but kept getting headaches from the paraffin wax when melting it down.
Suppose I could of switched to soy but lost interest in it. |

Yes some of them have given me head aches before so had to blow them out. Luckily for me it's been the melts I've been burning.. My last one was wild sea grass. I had to go lay down it was that bad xx |

It's a wonder why they're so expensive when paraffin wax is very cheap. I guess they do a lot of R&D on new smells etc. |

"I love the smells of some of them, not the sweet sickly ones. But I am petrified of fire and flames. So sadly candles are a no go for me "
Oh no that's not good I love a good candle or melt to burn after a long day!! Nice to chill out with while watching telly and having a glass of wine!!
Such a shame you're petrified of fire and flames x |

"I'm a partiality gal.
Used to do the parties but I left my sample case in my car on a hot day and it turned into one big block of lovely smelling wax "
Never been interested in party lite. How ever heard nothing bad about them x |

To be fair I think they might be one and the same company now. They are very good candles although pricey for my tastes lol still have to buy something at the parties though lol |

"I like them although nearly set fire to the tent last month with some
Guess that happens if you're burning them in a tent.  "
They was on a table outside and someone (cough) had consumed too much water  |

It's similar to silver jewellery such as pandora, the raw materials are dirt cheap. It's the brand you pay for and the craft to a certain extent |

"I like anything with vanilla in. I know someone who collects them. Some of the rarer ones can be worth quite a bit "
Vanilla bourbon is one of the new range and smells lush. Hope it smells just as good when I burn Sunday evening after my four long random shifts at work xx |

Haha still a bad idea. Candles aren't meant to be left unattended I'm like candle police sometimes. Haha not really. I leave mine unattended sometimes. Oops cx |
