They sound lovely. Wonder if you can get tarts in those scents. Maybe Supercool will know.

Oooh which ones did you get from the Groupon deal???
This was the only AD I kept going as I wanted all the drops and I'm particularly excited by the Xmas one as it's the US scents - from memory Snow Dusted Bayberry (I love any of the Bayberry fragrances), Holiday Shimmer and Sugar Frost Christmas (both with mint in them, I LOVE minty Xmas candles) - hope they're as lovely 'in the flesh' as the descriptions. Hope that gives you some vicarious thrills.

Are you buying the TSV?
Yes, I can appreciate the thrill of your imminent delivery, thanks! They do sound nice but the set is probably not something I’d buy, simply because I find the winter/Xmas ones a bit samey. I don’t think my nose can pick up the various scents they’re supposed to contain so the main thing I get is pine whether it’s supposed to be balsam, cedar, fir (any tree!) or snow, frost, sparkle, etc. I mean, I don’t mind woody smells but wouldn’t want too many. I like the mint angle though!
Not sure they’ll be to your taste (well, not based on what you’re saying here) but the Groupon ones were Candied Pecans, Tobacco Flower, Black Plum Blossom and Cinnamon & Cedar. I don’t usually like Cinnamon but it’s subtle enough for me in the last one. I like the sweet but not sickly ones, as you can tell. Cinnamon & Cedar is another pine forest type smell but one’s fine.
Only just saw this, the Groupon ones sound lush although I'd not heard of the Cinnamon & Cedar one before - I normally loathe cinnamon in candles but that sounds pretty good - will have to see if I can sniff it anywhere!
On the other hand, I love pine-y/toilet cleaner smells (Lemon Lavender is one of my faves) so Yankee Xmas candles are usually right up my alley!

I had a sniff of cinnamon & cedar, I could only smell cinnamon. Not for me.
My son normally buys me Yankee for Christmas, Mother’s Day etc, he doesn’t like the fact they are all the same scent/smell. He has offered to buy the Decleor advent posted by Sazza at £49.95 at allbeauty. He’s such a lovely thoughtful young man.
Your son does sound lovely. None of the men in my family have ever been particularly thoughtful in that way.
My other half left the fridge door open all day - I told him he had to buy me a present to make up for the food I had to throw away...he bought me a multipack of McCoys :mysmilie_10:

Mr B (loves a bargain) Used to buy me all the semi dead flowers the day after mothers day/valentines....Serves me right for saying that buying flowers on the day was a rip off as they were all massively overpriced for the occasions..........

He sounds like my kind of guy - especially if it's the king prawn sizzle McCoys :mysmilie_59:
