Candles are not just for middle aged women at all, I love yankee candles!! They smell good enough to eat lol. My favourite at the moment is 'home sweet home' i got it for my friend last christmas and she loves it too. It smells like cinnamon and sugar cookies!!

No they are not. The one's I have are masculine scents. I class my house as a bachelor pad and a place with things I like and I happen to like my house smelling nice. I find air fresheners nauseating, especially the rancid plug-in ones.

A tranquil blend of bergamot pepper, dray sage and a touch of cedar. It smells really nice. Honestly, everyone who comes over to my house loves that one.

Ha old thread bump.

I've just got a yankee candle electrical tart warmer. Used to use oil burners with tea lights but stopped when I had my cat. So these are perfect.

I would say that's the best deal I have seen yet tbh, on ebay they sell for £1.16 each and in some shops where I live they get them in every now and then for £1.

So yeah that sounds a good deal to me.

If you have bought 24 and had 5 though they should last a fair bit the burn time is about 8 hours.

Yea the burn times are a bit strange. I only bought one cos a woman at work had one in her office, i'd never seen an electrical one. She had the same tart in the burning for a week. The morning I had it delivered I put one in and it was gone the next day, after about 5 hours of burn time.
