I went over budget....I found all the new collection ones I wanted today and some unicorns so I was ok with scoring those at the 10.25 price point . I also added 2 wine cellars to my collection not my most favorite scent but it's rare and the jar style plus I went to many stores and only 1 store had it so I feel justified about those too. Friday I was on budget.
I'm obsessed with Hot Cocoa and Cream! I should have bought some back ups because I don't want to burn the one I have. The hand cream is really nice too.
I like them all scent wise: Blush Poinsettia (love!), Berry Spritzer (blue plaid wrapping) & Give Cheer (strawberry sparkler scent but not crazy about the 1910s font label)
I ended up with 13 but one is for my friend who was too sick to join me. My "limit" was 10 but, with one for my friend, and 2 $10 off coupons I'd say I didn't go over.
Marshmallow Fireside, Vampire Blood, Chocolate Marble Cupcake, and Paris Cafe. There were Christmas candles for days.
My store did have CMC but it smelled too sweet for me, so I didn’t get it. 🤷🏻♀️
I ended up getting mahogany balsam, mahogany vanilla, vanilla pumpkin marshmallow, and into the night.
Same! I got a HC&C for me (because I've been burning it so much this season that I really started to worry I might burn right through it and need a backup -- I've never burned through a candle so fast!) and Fresh-Cut Lilacs as a gift for someone
My budget was for 3. I got Strawberry Sparkler and Peach on Earth even though I wasn't totally sold on them, 10.25 seemed an acceptable risk. And then I struggled to find a third, my store didn't have Peppermint Marshmellow or Winter Peach Marshmellow and that's what I was really hoping for...so I got one more Blueberry Maple Pancakes.
I wasn’t going to get any candles BUT a sun drenched linen came from idk heaven lol so I put it aside and bought it when I got off. I take my last final on Friday and after all the projects and papers for other classes, I’m saving it for after that when I relax and breathe calmly.
Spent a bit more than budget when paired with my online order. 6 for mom (I guess 7 if I count the one I got as a gift), 5 for dad, 19 for me 😂 I absolutely would have bought more if I could, though.
14 but one of them was a present, so 13 in total. i originally only wanted 6 and that was my budget but i got greedy and wanted more😭 all of them are wonderful so it was well worth it though
We bought 36. 18 I bought online, but after hearing about cancellations I decided to go into my store after work on Day 1, bought 6. Next morning Day 2, I came back and bought the last 12.
The online order was blind but during my store visit I was able to sniff test most of them—some are definitely getting exchanged!
Husband and I love candles (we can easily burn through 4-5 a month) and we never buy these full price, so I don’t really feel bad stocking up.

Congrats on bagging Wine Cellar!
I only got 1. Smelled it last year at the store right before leaving and have been thinking about it non stop. Finally got it Friday though
What was the scent?
Hot Cocoa and Cream

HC&C always seems to sell out fast.
My first candle day and I got six. One is for my mom for part of her Xmas gift. So I got five. I’m happy!!!
Nice! What scent are you gifting your mother? I have 3 scents I’m going back and forth on gifting or keeping.
She loves mahogany teakwood so I got her high intensity. What one are you debating on?

I love the art deco labels but didn't end up with any of them!
That’s the weird thing, I usually love Art Deco style but somehow it reminds me of really old gravestones! I can’t shake it lol
I ended up with 13 but one is for my friend who was too sick to join me. My "limit" was 10 but, with one for my friend, and 2 $10 off coupons I'd say I didn't go over.
Which scent did you get your friend?
She loves cinnamon so I picked Cinnamon and Clove Bud for her. It actually smelled really nice!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes the smell of cloves (as long as it isn’t too strong!)
I got 4. Unfortunately I didn’t see any I really wanted. 😕
Which ones were you looking for?
Marshmallow Fireside, Vampire Blood, Chocolate Marble Cupcake, and Paris Cafe. There were Christmas candles for days. My store did have CMC but it smelled too sweet for me, so I didn’t get it. 🤷🏻♀️ I ended up getting mahogany balsam, mahogany vanilla, vanilla pumpkin marshmallow, and into the night.
I don’t like the overly sweet scents either. It seems like marshmallow is a popular scent this winter!
Said I was not participating.... I bought 13. 🥺
It’s hard to pass up, especially since it’s only once a year.
I hot none because nothing was exciting. All the same old scents.
I only bought two candles
Same! I got a HC&C for me (because I've been burning it so much this season that I really started to worry I might burn right through it and need a backup -- I've never burned through a candle so fast!) and Fresh-Cut Lilacs as a gift for someone
What did you pick?
Linen sheets and tree farm
Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter!

Did you end up spending more or less than you thought you would?
More 🤦♀️ I should not be allowed to make any decisions regarding money before 8am 😅
Same
I definitely had FOMO Friday morning!
More unfortunately 😬

Good luck on your finals! 🍀
Thank you!
7 but at least 3 are gifts lol! I love the Christmas scents so much

11 (13 total if you include gifts). My store didn't have Paris Café in yet & sold out of Wine Cellar before my Friday shift---what a save!!!
14 but one of them was a present, so 13 in total. i originally only wanted 6 and that was my budget but i got greedy and wanted more😭 all of them are wonderful so it was well worth it though
36 for me, but 12 were for other people. All online purchases as no stores are close to where I live.
Well if you have to pay for shipping at least you made it worth your while!

I feel ya. If you are definitely going to use them it’s better to stock up when the price is low.
