My Facebook is quite full of people selling these. Are they actually any good?would you reccomend any others?

Scentsy are good, expensive but loads of choice available and you can usually still smell them after turning the wax heater off

I got some from a MNer on here who started a candle business a couple of treats ago and asked people to like her page. I’ve no idea what her MN name is, but her business is called ‘from can to candle’ and I had lovely mint smelling wax melts from her.

Treats = years!

Thank you @AgentProvocateur I've just looked at her website and it looks really nice.
@HisBetterHalf do you use scentsy?

I use Scentsy (but don't sell it)
I love it but the waxes can be quite expensive. I tend to bulk buy when they are on offer and currently have 12 different ones 🙈

My neighbour sells Scentsy so I buy melts & warmers from her, but also get cheap melts from B&M etc - some of them last better than some of the Scentsy ones in fact!

I also have one Airwick warmer which was only about £6. (I did have a Glade one but it was much hotter - 20+ watts instead of 11 or so - & it made the wax smell funny.)

Amazon has a load of melts but of course you can’t smell them before you buy

I use Darceys and wait until they do mixed bags cheap.

Yes I use them. Used to use yankee candles which smell lush but when you blow them out the lush smell is replaced by burnt wick Sad

Thanks everyone. So can you mix and match? So I could by a warmer and then different melts?
And are the warmers plug in?

I buy mine from village wax melts. Smell amazing, lots of choice & really reasonable prices 😊

Yes, you can use any melt in any warmer.

There are tealight warmers, but the electric ones are steadier & safer, though obv you need a plug socket nearby (I don’t have one in the hall so can’t use them there)

Some of the Scentsy warmers use a lightbulb (kind of like an oven bulb) & some just get warm. My airwick one just gets warm. The lightbulb ones look nicer but they all work the same way.

Scentsy stuff is very nice, but really expensive Hmm

Try Latham St Anne's Soap Workshop via Amazon. They have a large range of scents and are exceptionally inexpensive. Their reviews are impressive.

LYTHAM St Anne's.
Bloody autocorrect!

Oh this is brilliant thanks everyone. How do you choose which to buy without smelling them "in the flesh" so to speak

With scentsy you can borrow a bag to try the scents out, I'm not sure about the others though sorry
