Festive Yankee Candle Wax Tarts


Yankee Candle Wax Tarts Christmas

Over the past year or so I have certainly caught the beauty/fashion bloggers plague of being obsessed with candles

Christmas I know is only going to intensify my candle obsession as I have already started on the festive scents of cinnamon and yummy baking

 Even though I do love large flickering jar candles I also love my wax tart burner (to use a wax tart burner you place a tea light in the bottom of the burner and a wax tart in the dish above, which melts. Burners are also used to heat up essential oils) as it means I can try out more scents, which are of course cheaper to buy (they normally start at £1 per wax tart) and generally the vapors released are stronger than burning a candle. 

  So I decided to treat myself to a mixed set of 10 Yankee Candle Wax Tarts from eBay that all have a festive scent to them. Yankee Candle Wax Tarts do cost around £1.30 each so 10 for £9.95 free p&p (UK eBay listing here) is really good value for money. Though I do plan to be good and only keep 5 for myself and then give 5 as part of a gift, as I know 5 wax tarts will last me quite some time - definitely over November & December. 

As the listing is for a mixed lots there are 17 festive scents that you could get but none are duplicated. I was quite pleased with my selection, though I'm not keen on anything that smells like trees! I was really pleased to receive Cherries on Snow, Christmas Cookie, Christmas Eve and Sparkling Cinnamon. I'm now burning Christmas Cookie which is very sweet smelling and lovely (tempted to buy this as a large candle) and I know I will be saving Christmas Eve until Christmas Eve! 

Do you burn wax tarts? Which brands do you go for? 

Fee xo.

Yankee' are just the best, they seem to lack that tacky synthetic smell plagued by most. They always add that little touch extra that makes the season that little bit more.

they're so nice! really christmasy. I heard yankee candles were really good and they look like it. They remind me of mince pies although i dont like mince pies they always look appealing:) xx
I love burning yankee candles~ especially during the winter months where i just want my room to smell lovely and feel all warm inside hehe. The scent 'cherries on snow' is lovely and i cannot wait to add it to my collection. Christmas cookie is another one of my all time favourite candles hehe xxxx
¡Fantástica elección! Yo acabo de comprar trece nuevos tart para estas navidades :)

I've been wanting to go after the wax tarts, but I'm still not sure how they work exactly?
I've been getting obsessed with the Yankee Candle sampler votives myself- we have a local outlet that sells the samplers for 12 for $10 so I went a bit crazy last time I was there! I just love my home smelling like christmas. Or potpourri.

I love this brand of candles! They smell so so good :) Or I make candles at home by myself, it´s really fun :)
I love the sound of the scents! I haven't tried Yankee Candles before but I'm hoping I get a couple for Christmas to try out x

These actually sound lovely. I love candles, but I never buy them as I rarely get round to burning them. I think I may have to try out the wax tarts though, they seem like a great way to try new scents without spending a fortune.

Your festive/holiday posts are fueling my excitement for December. Also, I ordered some holiday candles and they still haven't arrived. I'm so impatient!
I've never tried the little Yankee tarts but really want to get some this year - there are too many Christmas scents to choose from to get a big candle! xx
Yankee Christmas Cookie is amazing! i bought 3 of the large ones last year and i still have about half of the big burner to go! it smells really great, the smell stays in the room even when the candle isn't burning. definitely one of my favorite yankee candles of all times.

I always wanted to try making my own scented candles, but when I found these wax tarts all ready for my enjoying, I just grabbed them like chocolates. If I were to make my own candles, I'd want them to look and smell exactly like these anyway.
