Holiday candle scent recommendations

[Daisy and Delilah]

I like the Febreeze pine scent. It's not expensive and smells pretty good.
I used to get the Yankee Candle Donna mentioned. I need to get to a Yankee Candle store.

Lisa, I've ordered from Yankee Candle online many times and have always been happy with how quickly I got the package. You have all of they're scents to choose from and you can see their sale items too.

Well, I think you should break down and get a real tree. Nothing else smells like it!

(Please forgive this post if I have missed a reason as to why you can't get a real tree.)

I have a Yankee Candle reed diffuser in Balsam and Cedar, and it smells exactly like a fresh Christmas tree is in the room.

This is the first year (since I got out on my own) that I haven't had a real tree. Bobcat had major back surgery last month and is still slowly recovering. Neither of us felt up to wrestling a real tree up all the stairs. I got a fake tree. It's beautiful, but nothing can compare to a real one.

I might go to one of the Christmas tree lots and see if they can give me some shavings or bark and try to make my own potpouri.

Even the title of the thread makes me cringe, as scented candles usually are pretty deadly for me. I hold my breathe and run past candle stores in malls. That's why I suggested the pine cones!

I bet the lot would sell or let you take away some of the branches they trim from the trees they sell!

Best wishes to Bobcat! I hope his recovery continues to go well. That is a big problem with real trees, they are so unwieldy.

I'll bet you could make lovely pot pourri. It's got to be worth a try.

Thoughts and prayers for Bobcat!!

I love Thymes candles.

I got a good one at Kohl's yesterday, called "winter berries". It was $9.99, on sale for $3.99, and because I used my Kohl's credit card, I got an extra 15% off. They also have one called "spiced cider" which is sort of a tangerine/orange color and smells just like spiced cider. They're in round glass jars.
