Poll: Candles

Yankee or Bath & Body Works? Other?

Re: Poll: Candles

  • I usually buy at B & B W because of the coupons, but I started to get coupons for Yankee and bought my first candle there today- "Vanilla Cupcake"
  • I'm into the sweet scents right now, so I've been buying a lot from Swan Creek Candle Co...  Right now, I'm loving their Warm Cinnamon Buns and Birthday Cake scents.

    I also have some from Yankee...  you can't go wrong there.

  • I haven't had a candle in my house in a few years because of the dogs and kids, but I used to always get Yankee
  • I either buy cheap ones (usually Dollar General...klassy) or from tealights or whatever the party thing is. A friends MIL sells them so she has book parties a lot.

  • Yankee candles are my favorite but they're so damned expensive. My favorite scent is Coconut Bay... mmm.

    I love Swan Creek's stuff too... they have a bunch of really good scents. (I tend to go for things a little less floral and more masculine/hippy-ish)

  • I have mostly Party Lite because I sold it a few years back and built up a big 'stash'.  Plus, I really love the scents & the quality.  I'll occasionally pick one up from someplace like Target, the evil store, etc.

  • I use Scentsy!!!! Wickless candles!!! BEST THING EVER!!!!!!
  • I only buy Curbs and Swan Creek.  People will give me Yankee but they soot to much for me and I hate the black ring they leave around the rims.

    Curbs you can get at the farmers market.  They used to have a store front at Cricket West but they closed and mostly sell at the market and in some local stores (I don't know where).  Swan Creek is soooo fun I love going there.  I don't know if they still do it but they used to do 50% off everything in the store downtown between Christmas and New Years.  I stocked up a couple years ago.

    Curbs I think it's called rain water and also angel wings.  Those two scents are so good.  I like clean scents.  I got my dad a candle called pipe smoke.  it smelled just like his pipe that he used to smoke in the basement.  So amazing and he loves it.

  • I used to buy the cheap ones or used the party lite ones that I had bought from a party a long time ago, but my mom bought me 2 of the ones from Bath & Body Works for christmas and they are great. I can have 1 lit in the living room(away from TJ's reach of course) and you can smell it through my downstairs really well. I think they work really good.

  • I think both the BBW & Yankee Candles both have strong scent to them (some scents stronger than others).  You can clean up at both stores w/coupons and sales.  When Yankee has their buy one get one coupons you sometimes can extend it to be buy two get two, buy three get three, etc.  I always get BBW three wick candles when they are 2/$20.

    I also have to agree w/above that Swan Creek Candles are awesome!

  • I tend to be more of a Yankee girl.  Actually, I don't know that I've bought a candle from B&BW before...
