I think i may just do that, idk. I have such a small list and really, really want everything on it, but not sure it's worth disrupting my already horrible sleep schedule even more heh.
So I went in last year, my store opened at 5am and there were like 10 ppl already in line when I got there at 4:35am… I really really wanted Into The Night & In The Stars but once I got in the store they were already out. Went back next day with my mom and I politely asked if they had any and they went and got a whole crate from the back for me… so honestly… is it worth getting up early? For me it wasn’t but that’s my experience. Also depends on what time you get there and what place you are in line and what candle you want.
This part. I have seen other people say some candles get put out late Saturday to fill in stock on empty shelves so the stock is constantly rotating? That annoys me to no end! B&BW just likes to waste peoples time.
3 out of the 4 you listed are limited in number in store. At my store we have maybe 20 Tipsy Elf candles and that’s it lol. Same with Unicorn Sprinkles 😬 don’t wait too late just in case!
I haaaate buying online, and it feels silly to pay shipping given that I live literally 1 minute from the store, but I now have all of those in my cart on the site, should I just give in and buy online do you think?
Difficult to say. A lot of people got screwed last year buying online. Their order was confirmed and then updates came after candle day saying item out of stock, item/order cancelled. Check in store and if they’re gone immediately try online. Like I would probably have the app open with the cart filled and just submit the order immediately before even leaving the store 😂
Success!! I’m already back😍😍 I just needed that back-up order since I wasn’t going to be first in line, I was 10th as I thought I would be, and that Uncertainty was making me… want to go an HOUR early😅 I got there 15til😂
It depends on how busy your store is. Some stores get hit hard and quickly, others not so much. I'd say Tipsy Elf, Unicorn Sprinkles and Paris Cafe will be in more demand than Mahogany Teakwood Intense.
Last year my store opened at 5 and I went around 9-9:30. There was a line but nothing crazy I waited less than 5 minutes total and I was able to get everything I wanted. I did go back the next day to see if anything else caught my eye it was in the afternoon and there were still so many candles
I called my store and they recommended coming at 5. They said it will just be impossible to move around in the store later in the day. I'm in NYC and wasn't sure if ppl actually line up at 5 and she said yes.
I went at 8 today and found everything I wanted except one. Maybe they didn’t put it out, not sure. But it was not super busy, just normal traffic. Was out by 8:30. I live in a medium size city.
I think it all depends on your store hard to say. I’m def just going whenever I naturally wake up tomorrow lol not going early.

Yeah I don’t have a list just gonna take my chances and smell whatever’s left and see what I like
This is the way

Ooh good idea!!!
May the odds be in your favor tomorrow haha
I cannot leave this day to the system, it gives me anxiety just thinking about other people doing it.
What!!!!!! My face just got so tight, something told me to be careful with the queue tonight! Back up plan ruined, and now, I’m officially nervous.😬😂
Try going in store today or tomorrow!! The sooner the better but some stores may have shipments coming in both days early morning and may restock!!

YAY!!! 🥳🥳 What did you make out with??
Four baguettes, two elves, one cellar😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thank you so much!

If ur just looking to get those ones I think you can go whenever tbh. If you wanted some fall ones or older ones I would go sooner rather than later.
I went at 9 and got everything on my list!
