We always buy Yankee candles - have a lovely appley one going at the moment. Our local garden centre sells them and there's a big range. They're a bit addictive actually.

Also, The Pier do lots of nice smelly candles if you've got one near you - they've got a big Xmas range in atm (obviously)

Kenneth Turner used to do one. Not sure if he still does, but it was wonderful. Also quite pricey.

I have just bought the Yankee candle in Christmas cookies....your house smells like you have been baking delicious cakes all day!
I also love the Colonial range especially the vanilla berries - I find garden centres have the best variety of candles.

Crabtree and Evelyn Noel - mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Agree that the Yankee candles are fab - I have a French vanilla one which is just gorgeous. Often buy them as presents.
