Does anyone like this brand? I love all the different scents. I've only recently discovered them since they appeared on the Next website but have bought from ebay too. I bought a coconut hand wash with Christmas designs on, a pumpkin one and have ordered a mini warm vanilla sugar shower gel and strawberry pound cake hand cream. Yum.

Someone sent me a Mahogany Teakwood candle - one of the big, 3 wick ones. I couldn't get on with it at all - I think I put it in the charity bag in the end.

I like the orange and ginger though.

I'm finishing off a Le Petit Marseillais Lavender hand wash (which is lovely) and then I'll start my BBW Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte and Frosted Coconut Snowball ones. Can't wait

Absolutely definitely.
Derby, Meadowhall, Nottingham for sure. The Nottm one closed so the nearest for me was the other two. My mum's US penfriend has sent us some stuff over previously so we were chuffed when they opened in the UK.
At the risk of making you all Envy I've just ordered 6 x 3 wick candles for €12.99 each which is better than half price.
Someone asked about scents: I like the Mahogany Teakwood probably best. Have also ordered Winter (same fragrance family as White Company's Winter) and some fir/balsam Christmassy ones. Oh, and a sea salty one for DD.

Ah, well I never! Missed those! I wonder why they closed?

Try the Aldi ones too. They’re really good and cheap as chips if you don’t like them!

I am hitting Aldi tomorrow 🙂

Aldi did a blackberry candle in their Christmas range last year, it is bloody amazing. I bought about six just in case they didn’t bring them back this year. They are the number range though.

I have a contact for Bath and Body. She sells from her house and when I asked why she didn't open her own shop she said the franchise was £80.000.

I bought this candle from Marks. It looks really pretty when it's lit

I’ve got one of those too @RhubarbStrawberry Mine is the internet without the Christmas scene though. I found a few issues with it.

The lights come on when it’s not lit if the room is bright. Fortunately the lid from an Aldi candle fits and stops the sensor from triggering.

The candle in the middle of the lights is tiny.

It doesn’t actually smell of much.

looks pretty though.

Internet? Version. Bloody Swift key on my phone deciding to change random words again😂

I've just checked and the candles I bought from Next last week were all made in Canada

Mine smells of apple. I think the candle has to be that size to make room for the gel containing lights round the edge. It does go down to the bottom of the jar. I'll put a tea light in it when the wax is burned down.

I ordered this as I thought it would be a nice one to use next summer. No more BBW buys for me though now or I'll end up bankrupt!

Thanks @RhubarbStrawberry , I just saw you said they have lilac scent! I wonder if it smells the same as circa 1997? The smell of my youth, I might have to go have a look.

I went to Croydon Next today and was excited to see a B&BW stand. They are doing 2 x hand wash for £13 (Still a lot I know). I enjoyed smelling the scents. I've got enough for the time being though

I am hoping that some of these products will be included in the Next sale - what are the chances?

Cookerhood · 13/12/2022 20:08

Costco had gift sets of B&BW products when I was in there today.

Daisychainsandglitter · 13/12/2022 20:20

My colleague is in New York atm and has v kindly agreed to bring me back a bath and body works haul- I'm super excited Smile
