Candles!

Looking for some advice.

My mum just related that she would greatly appreciate some nice scented candles for Christmas.

Anyone know which ones have the best smell/longevity that I could get? Online preferred as I can just get it delivered to their place prior to me heading home for the holidays.

I used to buy them from a place called.. bjorns candles I think? They were great, but I lost the link and can't seem to find them anymore.

I like those ones that burn and turn into a liquid, then turn back solid when you put them out. They tend to have the strongest and longest lasting scent.

Also, if she's into trying something new, you should get one of those LED candles with the air freshener things in them. They look authentic but last forever.

Illuminations Is a really nice brand of candle, and they do a lot of online ordering. The cranberry orange is one of my favorite candle scents.

Order a large jar at least of whatever you order. The small ones just don't last long enough.

Edit: Here's their general 'classic scents' page with some of the good'uns

I second Illuminations! I love shopping in their store at KOP. Don't forget about Yankee Candles, simple but they do the trick.

EDIT: These are beautiful and wicked on sale!

Yeah, Yankee Candles is a good brand too. Their scents are very...accurate.

Tip: Smell the candles from the bottom to get an idea of the scent.

Unless it's in a glass container which the best candles usually are...
