Candles

I like yankee candles and if Asda is having special deal you can pick up a large jared candle up for 10 pounds . Plus they also come lots of different frangrances .

Soy essentials on Facebook £15 and she refills them for £9

I used to like candles till I read about the harmful toxins they put out into the air, some of which are possibly cancer causing. So I stopped. Now I burn the odd incense cone instead (with windows open.) Many air fresheners are unhealthy too, especially if used a lot.

Shearer candles based in Scotland I think, not overly expensive but look it wink also have bought from Aldi- haven't lit these yet but they so smell lovely. (Also do like diffusers no 'burning' issues at all with a diffuser...)

Currently burning Marks and Spencer’s Calm, it’s beautiful and reminds me of being in a spa

May I recommend 'Made with a Smile' for super soy wax melts that smell lovely, last ages and take away all cooking smells as well!! On line from Tadcaster Yorks, low prices, quick service and dealt with 'With a Smile'

I really like Stoneglow candles, they even smell lovely without being lit! And come in beautiful containers. My daughter bought me one last Christmas decorated with silver stars. They are expensive though but you can get them reasonably priced on Ebay likewise Yankee candles.

Aldi. But highly recommend one by Neom that as it melts turns into body moisturiser!!! Amazing!

I only use beeswax as all other waxes and or the oils are an air pollutant to some extent. Especially be careful of those Aldi smell ‘alikes’ they will most certainly not be clean burning.
Pure beeswax actually clean the air to a small extent, and if they don’t do that they certainly don’t add any harm. A lovely natural glow and get your smells with pure oils in an infuser.

TKMaxx is the place to go. However, I am severely allergic to scented candles, so thankfully my friends ensure that they don’t have any of them lit when I go to their homes.

Yes the Aldi ones are really good and the Sand and Sky ones from TK Max/Homesense. A friend bought me a reasonably expensive one from Oliver Bonas - I was thrilled as love other stuff from there. It didn’t smell anything like it’s unlit fragrance when burning so thankful then it did not last as long as it was supposed to !
I can’t stand Yankee Candles (ooh contentious?) they smell so sweet and also “chemically”.
Jo Malone lovely but expensive. Neom are lovely too. But day to day? Aldi or TK.

Jo Malone are brilliant but a brilliant price! Best ones I have come across for smells lasting are the Aldi equivalents at very cheap prices.

Other one which was lovely was M&S Rhubarb, delicious but don't think they do it anymore?

Wickford candles are brilliant...the Gingerbread one is beautiful and scents the whole house.
£2.99 from Home Bargains.

My son introduced me to wood wick candles, they have some lovely fragrances, they seem to last longer than normal candles and they crackle as they burn

I had 2 Jo Malone candles for Christmas last year. I burned one constantly because the smell was so nice. I used the second one sparingly because I wouldn't pay the price for one myself. Heard about the Aldi one and bought it. Fragrance is similar but the difference is, it is more smokey and burns faster. A good copy though. I also use Aldi's reed defusers which are lovely - and a fraction of the Jo Malone one!

Apparently the Yankee Candles are worse though.

I used to love scented candles, but have switched to reed and oil diffusers because of the emissions, which even the soy candles produce, though they’re not as bad as the paraffin based ones.

I did once read a report on how bad the emissions are from different brands. The Aldi ones produced a lot more than the Jo Malones, though I agree they do smell as nice.

Yes GG13 it is. 2 wicks, burns for 40+ hours. £3.99 Bargain!

EV I think No.1 is the smelly likey Lime Basil and Mandarin Jo Malone?

The last Yankee candle I bought ended up outside. I'd never seen so much smoke. You'd have thought I was electing a new Pope.
The jar was black----never again.

I bought some Aldi reed diffusers online and they smelled lovely and lasted ages. I think it was Number 1.

We have Sicilian Lemon and Wild Fig Yankee Candles and I agree that they are not the same as they used to be.

I used to love Yankee candles Elaine1 but I'm wondering if they've changed the recipes for them recently? They no longer seem to burn evenly, even with the wick trimming and burning them for 3 hours minimum. Also the throw of scent doesn't seem to be as good as it used to. The ones I have now will be the last I think; don't think I'll bother buying anymore Yankee.

Yankee candles are nice too. Lots of shops have candles heading for Christmas though predominantly things with smells associated with the season. SiL uses candle to get rid of curry smells. He gets Aldi ones.

I'm sniffing away to an aldi candle at the moment. Definitely worth it and much cheaper than the alternatives.

I am a devotee of Jo Malone and White Company candles (I have one in the sitting room, one on the landing and one in the kitchen burning at the moment, I have been cooking chutney and trying to get rid of the smell of vinegar). DD uses the Aldi ones and they are extremely good copies

Molton Brown usually have good deals on line if you sign up to their website/newsletter.
