Autumn TK Maxx Candle Haul!

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of the year again when the candle addict in me makes a dramatic return, theres something so cosy and warming about burning candles during the Autumn/Winter months isn't there, they just look so pretty flickering away on those dark autumnal nights and the spicy, warming scents are my favourites! So of course I made a trip to TK Maxx recently to see what scents they had and was quite overwhelmed by the sheer volume of autumn/Halloween candles that where in store, I honestly could of spent a small fortune!

I ended up buying three candles in TK Maxx - I was being extremely good on this occasion - two of which are by the brand DW Home and the other is by Sand and Fog, I believe these are both American brands which would explain the epic scents I found, I don't know about you but I feel like candle companies in the UK just don't do those epic Autumnal/Halloween scents like they do in the states! All three of the candles I got come in glass jars with wooden lids which feel super luxurious and expensive, the prices of these where pretty epic too, the small jar was only £2.99, the medium jar was £5.99 and the larger double wick jar was £7.99, which for candles in general is good but as these are American brands I think that's an amazing price! 

The scents I picked up are....

DW Home Maple and Vanilla £2.99 - I just love this jar, red and covered with little leaves, it's so cute! The scent of this one is quite smoky whilst also having hints of vanilla, cinnamon and clove making it so autumnal and the scent throw is amazing!

DW Home Pumpkin Spice £5.99 - My absolute favourite out of the three I bought, not only is the jar the cutest thing ever but the scent is beyond AMAZING! It has notes of pumpkin, nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar and all-butter crust making it smell good enough to eat. Honestly beaut's I don't think I've smelt a more amazing autumnal candle before, I recommend this one the most, it's lush!

Sand and Fog Pumpkin Spice £7.99 - This is the largest jar I bought and is a double-wicker, is smells so good and is just what you'd expect from a pumpkin spiced candle - sweet yet warming - however there is a definite citrus note running through this one, and it's more of a subtle scent throw than the other two candles I bought, but I still love it and I adore that hand painted lid!

I'd definitely recommend popping into TK Maxx soon if your after these candles as I cant see them lasting very long, I definitely want to pop back in a grab a couple more soon! I also think these candles would make amazing gifts too because they really do look amazing and are slightly more special than your average candle!

Autumnal Candle Haul!

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of the year again when I turn into the crazy candle lady, theres something so cosy and warming about burning candles during the Autumn/Winter months isn't there, they just look so pretty on those dark autumnal nights and the spicy, warming scents are just amazing! Because I literally have to fill my entire house with candles it means I have to bu quite a few and I found some absolute corkers in TK MAXX recently so I thought I share which ones I got!

All four of the candles I picked up in TK MAXX are by the brand DW Home, I believe this is an American brand which would explain the epic scents I found, I don't know about you but I feel like candle companies in the UK just don't do those epic Autumnal/Halloween scents like they do in the states! All four of the candles I got come in glass jars with lids and feel super luxurious and expensive, the prices of these where pretty epic too, the small jars where only £2.99 each and the larger jars where £5.99 which for candles in general is good but as their an American brand I think that's an amazing price!

The scents I picked up are...
Maple Pumpkin - Wow this candle is next level, I wish they had larger jars of this one in stock because I think I would of bought a couple of those because I love it so much! Maple Pumpkin smells sweet like caramelised sugar and pumpkin combined with a hint of toasted nuts, it honestly smells good enough to eat!
Pumpkin Spice - This one comes in the most amazing black glass jar with little gold bats all over it, it was also boxed up in gift box for no extra charge which I thought was such a nice touch, they had a couple of other Halloween candles boxed up too if your looking for a Halloween themed gift! This one reminds me of Yankee Candles cinnamon stick, it has quite a strong cinnamon and nutmeg vibe going on mixed with a brown sugary sweetness, it's absolutely lush!

Apple Cider - This one not only looks super autumnal in it's rusty Orange jar but it's literally autumn in a candle, theres hints of woodland spices mixed with warm apple cider, it's incredible and the scent throw is fabulous!

Frosted Leaves - This is quite different for me because it's got that woodland vibe like autumn leaves, weathering pine and burnt embers but I actually really like it, it kind of reminds me of going on a drizzly walk in the woods with the dog if that makes any sense he he!

I'd definitely recommend popping into TK MAXX soon if your after these candles as I cant see them lasting very long, I definitely want to pop back in a grab a couple more soon! I want to check out their autumnal homeware too but they never really had much of that in when I went!
