You get what you pay for with things like this (IMO). Its like comparing Paco Rabanne with Brut.

We don't buy candles because we have carpets and my mum would forever be paranoid they'll fall over and cause a fire (I would be too)

With electric tart warmers, like the one i've got, there is no flame. You just plug it into the wall.

Apart from wax spill if they fell over, Yankee Candles are pretty much fireproof, the flame would be put out by the wax if it fell over

Do they have mulled wine?

As soon as I smell that I know it's Christmas.

I love them - Clean Linen, Fluffy Towels, Black Cherry, Mandarin, Baby Powder ! So many of them are fab and they burn even unlike other makes - Only ones i hate are ones with Vanilla or Cinnamon as both these smells make me wanna chunder !
