Lovely, esteemed PW members,
I adore candles! Scented candles especially. I like to have them lit a lot of the time during winter. A lot of scented candles are fairly wussy in the scent stakes, however, and it seems difficult to find good scented candles in the UK. Normally I seem to fall back on Yankee Candles. And I am made sad by seeing gorgeous candles from the US which sound AWESOME but that cost 3 times to ship what the original price of the candle is! Grr. So, my question, after all this longwinded stuff, is: where do you get your nommy candles that don't cost the earth?
ETA: just FYI, this has turned into a bit of an, ah, discussion of a particular retailer... So avoid if you're not in the mood for tasty secondhand drama! :)
Still looking for candle recs!
Not sure how to tag this...
