Now’s Christmas time, so I’m writing much more about the best Christmas candle scents at Yankee Candle and other brands, but to be honest, I’m excited to see what the Home Bargains candle range will be holding for us come spring and summertime. If you want to find some really cheap candles in the UK, I’d definitely recommend a trip to your nearest Home Bargains candle section!

So far, I’ve only burned Pink Rhubarb & Pear, which I didn’t think I’d love that much, to be honest. It is one of the cleanest-smelling candle scents I own, and I usually go strong on Gingerbread, Vanilla, and other chocolate types of scented candles. You’re looking for the best gingerbread candles, and let me tell you one thing: the Home Bargains Candy Cane Lane Spiced Gingerbread candle is everything the Bath and Body Works Spiced Gingerbread candle is – minus the price tag. This is almost a similar scent to the famous Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie candle, which is one of the most popular Yankee Candle Christmas scents – although you’ve got plenty of intoxicating Christmas spices in the Gingerbread House candle. So far, I’ve burned a few of them, including both small jars and votives, and my first impressions are that while I thought I would hate the Pink Rhubarb & Pear candle, it is one of my absolute favorites to burn when I’m working, and has a great hot throw – much more than I initially expected.The first time I saw all the Home Bargains candles was just a few weeks ago in the Edmonton Home Bargains store, and when I saw all the scented candle brands and collections there were in-store, believe me; I became all kinds of crazy. I haven’t seen that many overviews of the collection of Home Bargains candles available at the moment, so I thought I’d share with you the pictures I’ve taken at the super budget shop in London. We’re really in a luxury candle type of mood with the Dirty Gingerbread candle, one which focuses on natural scents blended to create a real atmosphere at home. More than a simple gingerbread scented candle, we’ve got with Heretic a true Christmas candle vibe. In the Swizzels range, I’ve found very sweet, candy scented candles that I honestly did not like at all. Although I’m all for strong smells like some I’ve found in the Aldi candle aisle or the Poundstretcher candles lately, I felt the Swizzels candles smelled just, overall, fake and bad. If you’re not yet acquainted with the Best Kept Secrets candles, their Seriously Scented range is one you have to know about.

Freshly baked homemade gingerbread, star anise, cinnamon, clove, maple syrup, caramel and vanilla… The perfect winter warmer.B&M is one of the best budget shops in London in my opinion, and while I often get Christmas candles at TK Maxx, B&M is located only a few minutes away from my home and there are always lots of amazing scented candles there.
