  • Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar From Home of Honey Candle Co

    We’re now in a season when home fragrance products are the best! The scent choices, the products available, all fitting for the colder months we are now heading into. Which for many of us mean we spend more time inside, or at least are trying to make our homes more comfortable ready for the seasonal change. Without fail, my beloved wax melts are ready to be used and I’ve just started to use wax from a selection I was kindly given by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co last month. My first wax melt of choice was Apple Spice, so what is it like?

    How does it look?

    Apple Spice came in a traditional wax melt snap bar made up of 5 segments. A sprinkle of green and iridescent glitter on the front of this bar makes it stand out. The wax itself colour wise seems to be a mix of pale green and off white. A very attractive bar of wax which reflects it’s fragrance name. Neatly packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with a white bow to finish off the presentation.

    Fragrance

    Sweet, juicy apple rolled into a mix of different spices including (I’m guessing) cinnamon, mixed spice and possibly nutmeg. This is a gorgeous blend of scents combined into one, making this fragrance fruity, warming and very bakery like in how it smells. It has an almost apple crumble smell to it, but not quite, although just as good.

    In melt

    I popped 2 segments of Apple Spice in 2 different wax warmers (one positioned in the living room, the other in the hallway). They both melted evenly and quite quickly and released fragrance straight away. The scent grew and was more noticeable as time went on, which made the fragrance feel and smell very natural.

    Strength & Longevity

    Apple Spice is medium in strength. Think of something baking in the oven and that scent floats around the kitchen. It’s not strong, it definitely isn’t weak. It’s there, it smells good and you enjoy that scent so much you can’t wait to take out whatever is in the oven. This is what Apple Spice makes me think of in regards to how it smells, how it lingers in the air and the general feel it gives. Longevity, this wax melt bar lasted 2 days in 2 locations before the strength lessened. But they were melting for a good number of hours at a time.

    Apple Spice is a yummy scent. It screams Autumn and Winter. It’s warming and comforting, it’s not sickly sweet but is very much a bakery scent rather than full on fruit. Definitely recommended. Wax melt snap bars cost only £2.50, they come in various fragrances but this is worth adding to your collection!

  • Everything Gingerbread This Christmas In Home Bargains!

    A fragrance and visual design which is very popular this time of year and for Christmas, is gingerbread. Not surprising. The scent is perfect for colder seasons with it being spice heavy and warming. And the actual design of a gingerbread man is incredibly cute! So you will find lots of products that have this theme. I found ALOT in Home Bargains which could tick a lot of gifts off many people’s Christmas list. What did I spot in Home Bargains for home fragrance, bath and body products scented or inspired by gingerbread?

    Gingerbread House Bath Set

    A fun, and quite large gingerbread house style box contains a vanilla scented body lotion, bath shimmer and gingerbread shaped bath fizzer. Quite a sizeable gift idea, nicely packaged, full sized products and only £2.99.

    Ashton & Moore’s Gingerbread Biscuit Hand Wash

    It’s great to see seasonal hand washes. Great for practical use and for gifting. This practical hand wash is nicely themed and packaged, incredibly generous in size at 750ml and only £1.49!

    Wickford & Co’s Luxury Air Freshener

    It’s easy to forget about fragrancing the car if you drive (I do). So it’s great to see seasonal scents available rather than the typical ones available all year. This is quite an attractive looking air freshener and only £1.49.

    Wickford & Co’s Luxury Air Freshener
    Wickford & Co’s Pack of 3 Air Fresheners

    If you want other scents besides gingerbread, but still seasonal, this pack of 3 car air fresheners is perfect! This set includes gingerbread, warm apple & cinnamon and mulled wine. These air fresheners are the cardboard type which we’ve all used at some point, and costs only 99p.

    Candy Lane Gingerbread Reed Diffuser

    Reed diffusers are a great home fragrance alternative to a candle or wax melt, and Candy Cane Gingerbread Reed Diffuser looks well made, great size of fragrance (100ml), and like all the other products I’ve seen well packaged to give as a gift. £2.99.

    Wickford & Co’s Gingerbread Scented Gift Set

    This possibly could be a new gift set for this year as I haven’t seen it before. But included in this is a reed diffuser (100ml) and a candle (125g). It’s a shame the box doesn’t have a similar colourway as the items inside it, in my opinion, but does look festive. £3.99.

    Wickford & Co’s Gingerbread Scented Gift Set
    Wickford & Co Gingerbread Wax Melts & Candles

    Both the wax melts and the small jar candles are always popular. I’m not surprised because they both smell so good with a good strength to them both. I’ve used the wax melts and find these are really good, especially for only 79p. The jar candles are only 99p so equally just as cheap!

    Wickford & Co Gingerbread Wax Melts & Candles

    So these are just a few gingerbread inspired, scented or packaged home fragrance, bath and body care products I’ve found in Home Bargains. And guess what? All were under £4.00! So if this is a scent you want to gorge on for yourself or gifting, it might be worthwhile having a look at some of these products in your local store.

  • Autumn & Winter Scented Wax Melts By Home of Honey

    Do I have a favourite season for using home fragrance? Autumn and Winter are my favourite times. I spend more time at home wanting to feel snug and cosy, and home fragrance products help to maintain that vibe. Autumn and Winter scents tend to be more richer, heavier, and spicier than scents geared towards Spring and Summer, and I love it! So having a package of wax melts kindly sent to me by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co, filled with these types of fragrances, was a welcomed delivery. So what wax melts did I receive?

    Fragrances

    These wax melts scream Autumn and Winter! A great mix of fragrances which are traditional and well known for these seasons. So very much tried, tested and loved. They would appeal to the majority of people, that’s why they are popular in general. I received:

    Caramel Pumpkin, Golden Autumn, Cinnamon & Vanilla, Apple Spice, Vanilla Bean Noel, Candy Cane and 12 Days of Christmas.

    12 Days of Christmas Wax Melts
    What type of wax melts are these?

    All of these wax melts, except one, come in a wax melt snap bar. Long and rectangular, and you snap off how much you want to use and melt. 12 Days of Christmas is a selection of individual wax melt shapes. No need for snapping, just put directly into your wax warmer and go!

    Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar
    How do they look?

    Each wax melt snap bar, although shaped the same, look different. All have a creamy base colour to them, but each have embedded on the front different coloured glitter that nicely reflects the fragrance.

    Caramel Pumpkin is covered in a mix of red and gold glitter. Golden Autumn is gold. Cinnamon & Vanilla is gold with iridescent shards on the top. Apple Spice green. Vanilla Bean Noel is multiple glitter all in pastel shades. Candy Cane festive red. And finally, each wax melt is coloured differently (pink, orange, yellow, blue, cream etc) in 12 Days of Christmas Part 1, but no glitter visible that I can see.

    Candy Cane Wax Melt Snap Bar

    The wax melt snap bars are all in clear sleeves finished off with white bows, which is very cute. 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 wax melts are housed in a large, clear plastic case finished off also with a ribbon. On the front each of the scents of the wax melts are mentioned. What I like about the labels on these wax melts is the Autumn scented ones have a pumpkin on the label and the Winter/Christmas ones have trees on them. Such a lovely idea and good attention to detail.

    Gingerbread Wax Melt Snap Bar
    First impressions?

    Beautifully presented and packaged. The wax melts themselves look so good you want to melt them immediately and from what I can smell with some of these (not opened them all yet), they smell as good as they look! Great mix of fragrances, all perfectly themed for the seasons, easy to use wax melt forms. What is there not to love so far?

    To purchase Home of Honey’s wax melt snap bars, they only cost £2.50 and come in a variety of fragrances. 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 costs £8.99 which is great value for 12 differently fragranced wax melts. If the seasonal wax melts aren’t what you are looking for, there are plenty of other fragrance types and wax melt shapes on the website to purchase here.

  • 5 Home Fragrance Products Reduced In Aldi!

    Like some of the skincare products reduced in price in my local Aldi, I’ve also found some of their home fragrance products reduced as well! Both of these lines came into store at the same time, and probably on their way out to make way for Christmas and Winter related items. So if you’re looking for some home fragrance products for your home, or for gifting, this is what I recently found in my store:

    Home Fragrance Products Reduced In Aldi
    Reed Diffusers

    I spotted two fragrances available, with one being Glow Up. Glow Up’s fragrance sounded appealing, as it consisted of citrus, neroli, sandalwood and vanilla. Nicely packaged, doesn’t scream a particular season which is good for generic gifting. Originally was £3.99 down to £2.99.

    Glow Up Reed Diffuser
    Candles

    These candles were in the same fragrances as the reed diffusers, but I only spotted Glow Up and Sweet Dreams. Sweet Dreams being more relaxing in feel with scents of lavender, geranium and rose. Boxed, stylish in look and down from £3.99 to £2.99.

    Sweet Dreams Candle
    Tealights

    There were a few different fragrances available in these tealights when they first dropped in my local store, but only Toasted Marshmallow Fireside was available to purchase most recently. Very much an Autumn/Winter fragrance and nicely packaged. Down from £2.49 to £1.99.

    Toasted Marshmallow Fireside Scented Tealights
    Bubble Candle

    Not fragranced, but the Bubble Candle is a great eye catching shape! Fun, quite sizeable and something interesting to look at. Down from £1.99 to 99p.

    Bubble Candle
    Pumpkin Shaped Wax Candles

    Containing 3 x 150g orange coloured pumpkin shaped candles, this set is definitely for the Autumn lovers and those who like Autumn decorations. Not fragranced but very cute in look. Down from £3.49 to £1.99.

    Pumpkin Shaped Candle Set

    What’s available stock wise may vary in each store. So always worth keeping your eyes open if any of these home fragrance products appeal to you, especially at these prices!
