Omleteers are always right! I go by Omleteers recommendations all the time. When they start on a whim...I have to have it!

ie: Kenwood chef, remoska, mammoth crocs, yankee candles....blah blah!!!

I could have gone mad and bought loads but I was a good girl

 

Well done Poet

You have been very restrained ......more than I might have been

[Jules.]

I keep talking about kenwood chefs!

[Jules.]

Just got back from my mums after talking again about kenwood chefs- it turns out she is an Omleteer in disguise- she has a Remoska!

She had never used it, & had it years. She very proudly showed it to me, & said she will give it a whirl.

[Egluntyne]

Fancy that!...If she doesn't like it, you could offer to take it of her hands!

I got my 'suprise' parcel today & its all very nice.

I am mostly impressed with the Holiday Bayberry & Mulled Wine ones, & also the Sun & Sea one I got for the bathroom - yummy!

 

Am not so keen on the Gingerbread,which is a bit sweet for me (if anyone wants a swap,let me know)

 

Tell me....the ones in the glass pots with a lid, are they designed to be used or not?

Do they smell stronger when they burn?

Him Indoors doesn't like the Christmas Shortbread one for the same reason.

 

Re the glass jar query....do you mean one of~~these?~~

 

If so....yes...remove the lid first.

[Jules.]

I bought myself one of these in town today, it cost me £9.99 but came with a free tart.

The tarts in the shop were 99p each, or 4 for £3.50, so I got another 4.

 

This is my present from hubby, he would normally buy it for me himself, but I've saved him a job!

they certainly are. The advice given to us by Bob Carolgees was;

 

tip 1- to light them for at least 4 hours because if you don't, the wax doesn't melt all the way to the edge so you end up with it burning down the centre.

 

tip 2- when you want to extinguish them, get a screwdriver or something and dip your wick (ooeerr missus) into the melted wax, this means you don't get a black wick, there's no smoke and your wick is primed for its next use.

When did kenwood chefs come into this? (I have 2 by the way! )

 

Have managed to become hooked on scented candles since I last posted, although I have made my own in old Douwe Egberts coffee jars using wax, wicks, dye and scent purchased from a candle making supply online shop. They work out at about £3.50 each to make so guess what everyone's getting for Christmas?!

[Basset]

Mmmmmm, I think I'm going to order some of the candles now, especially as you all recommend them so highly! I usually order Partylite, but have been put off with the very aggressive sales techniques they use. We're dog-sitting over Christmas so could do with some nice fragrances in the house!

I went a local garden centre on my way home tonight & bought some bits of Yankee.

 

2 tarts - Mistletoe & frankincense & myrh

2 samplers - Christmas Cookie & Cinnamon sticks

1 mini jar - home sweet home ( a bit like mixed spice / cinnamon)

 

Mini jar was a bit dear for what it was, but it does smell lovely.

 

Got the mistletoe tart melting away at the moment - they really do work!!!!

 

I'm also a sucker for Partylites Plum & Cognac or Sugared fruits! Trying to find somethhing simiar in Yankee. Mum bought a baby powder jar, I think she's got empty nest syndrome!!!!

I've just ordered Mulled Wine and Christmas Eve candle jars. Can't wait for them to arrive, although I'm sure they won't be here till nearer New Year now.

[Egluntyne]

Baby powder and Mulled wine are very nice.

 

In fact the only one I haven't been all that fussed about so far is Christmas Cookie.

 

Frankincense and Myrrh is on the go at the mo. Lovely.

[Cinnamon]

Mulled Wine has been my favourite so far.

Not too sweet & nicely spicey.

In fact I have just had to go & order some more to see us through the festive season

Same here - bought the BIG jar

[Jules.]

Really daft question- I've yet to use my tart burner as Father Christmas hasn't brought it yet but does all the wax burn away or does it need washing between tarts?

[Egluntyne]

It sets again and you just remove it and put another in its place.

 

I find they burn for 6-8 hours before the scent vanishes.

[Basset]

Well what excellent delivery service! I placed my order for two Yankee candles on Wednesday evening and they arrived on Thursday morning. They're currently burning away!

 

I've also just ordered some Moulton Brown candles (a very luxurious xmas treat for myself ), so I can do a comparison and decide which I like best between MBrown, Yankee and Partylite candles.

is that from QVC? I always find their delivery excellent.

 

Im into the Philisophy skincare range on QVC at the moment - its fab!

[Jules.]

I'm really chuffed with my tart burner.... hubby forgot to wrap it up, though

so far I have used 3 tea lights on it, & the wax seems to have hardly disappeared.

My burner has pretty heart cut outs at the top, & the tea light glow looks really sweet through them.

The smell is absolutely divine, It's a redcurrant cinnamony one ( can't remeber the "prpoer" name).

[Jules.]

Here's my tart burner in action

Mmmmmmm

[pepe]

SNAP!!! I got that for xmas, its going to go in my kitchen, hubby got me the wedding day candle, its beautiful, I will save that, someone mentioned philosophy got that as well, the perfume is the best, absolutely wonderful, I think QVC is great, I've been shopping with them for over 8 years and have no complaints

I've got 2 Cranberry Chutney samplers and 4 Happy Christmas tealights going in the conservatory at the moment. We're having visitors (who smoke) for a little soiree this evening. I won't let them smoke in the lounge because of the budgie so we all sit in the conservatory, which is very cosy anyway. The yankee candles make it smell lovely!

 

The Cranberry Chutney is mouthwatering!
