#Bijou candles knockoff full#

A bathroom vanity…a toddler-accessible coffee table. The fact that they are not-breakable makes them a great solution for places you might not normally feel comfortable keeping a glass or breakable container. It would also look lovely holding rings by the sink, or for bobbles and earrings and such on a bedside table. I’m doing mine up as a nut bowl because it’s December and Santa loves a good nut bowl. You just pop it in the freezer overnight and it the morning it all comes out.Wash it like a regular piece of dish ware and use how you see fit. That is a great solution for non-tempered glass, but with the Bijou candles, you don’t need any of that mess. Right? So what do you do with the container? Oddly enough, one of my all time most popular posts is dedicated to removing wax from glass containers using hot water. The sad part about great candles is that they eventually burn down because you use them so darn much. I’ll get you another one!) If you are one of those people who wants an artificial Christmas tree but never caves because “the real trees just smell so good!” you can go ahead and ditch that motto. That was Saturday and it’s been burning ever since! They sent me a big one and small one, and I was going to give the small one as a gift to my Aunt Annie because she likes pine scents, but I’m too greedy.

So, I got the package weeeeeks ago, and I lit this for a minute, and it was so good, sooooooo good, I made myself blow it out, put it in a drawer, and save it until the day after Thanksgiving so I could let myself experience it FULL THROTTLE Christmas spirit. Winter Pine, Winter Pine, I saved the best for last: Winter Pine. Also, I love the white container for Maple Apple so I can eat it with my eyeballs first. You’re just going to have to try it out for yourself. I’m tempted to call it a ‘gourmet pancakes’ type of smell, but that doesn’t really cover it. It’s a delicious, friendly, Don’t Be Jealous I Have Cookies In The Oven, type of scent. Spiced green apples mix with Vermont dark amber maple syrup and are topped up with just a hint of sugar glaze.” If you like vanilla scents but want something different, this is it. People will not walk in the house and say “What is that candle?” they’ll say “WHAT IS THAT AMAZING SMELL?” If you are a dude (or live with a dude) who doesn’t like foofy smells around the house, this is the candle for you. It’s a rich, deep, decadent sort of smell that you could burn in any room of your house, October to March. Usually I associate wine smells with things spilled in subways, but this stuff is incredible. Mulled Wine is a “Tangy mandarin orange is spiced with cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, anise and just a hint of musk”…AND WINE. Bijou has a cute quiz to identify your own scent, but I’ll give you my two cents. And they come in these mod-art, rippling pie crust bowls that are rocking my world. The containers are great but the candles are a knock out.īijou carries oodles of scents, but I’ll tell you about these three. Nifty concept, right? I’ll be honest, when I heard about the idea, I was expecting good candles in great containers. So that was fu! Now they expanded into candles in beautifully designed containers, and the container is 100% reusable after the wax is gone. They sponsored a post here a few months back wherein I threw all their stuff on the ground to demonstrate it was unbreakable. Lucky me!īijou candles come from the same folks who create Qsquared plates – the stuff that looks like ceramic but holds up like plastic.

I have several favorite candle varieties, and I will go to great lengths to get them, but my new favorite winter scents were delivered to my doorway about a month ago. Now I work from home, I make myself tidy up the house for 15 minutes and then light a candle as a special reward. When I worked in an office, I used to light a candle as soon as I got home as a sort of ritual. I don’t know if it’s the glow of the light or the scent in the room, but it never fails to make me feel happy to be home. It’s a luxury I have never denied myself because I know the tiny act of lighting a candle transforms my mood in a big way, and that there is significantly cheaper than therapy. Good, high-end, delicious smelling candles. If you have been following this blog for long, you know I am a freak about candles.
