Do you like candles?

[imojoebunny]

I am not a candle fan, and almost never burn them, but in am looking for something to give to the neighbors, teachers, mail woman, ect. I need about 20 gifts. I was going to make rum balls and bourbon balls, but everyone has so many diet restrictions these days.

I came across the candles below that I can get for much less than they sell for in stores, more like $2-$3.00 each.

Would you like to get a candle like this? Or do a lot of people view candles as I do?

I would rather get a card than a candle, but I would appreciate the thought.

I'd like it.

I like candles fine but on a limited budget I do not buy them for myself so I would prefer that to rum balls, etc. I do love Christmas cookies but never have like the alcohol-y ones (surprise lol).

I enjoy getting candles b/c it's something I never actually go out and buy for myself even though I like them.

That being said, I am also a big fan of rum balls.

I like candles and those look really nice.

I like candles, but I don't know that I would give anything scented as a gift unless I knew the recipients' tastes well.

I love candles and burn them often.

I don't buy candles myself, but I like them as gifts because they're nice to put out when company comes over.

I don't like the ones that look obviously cheap. These look nice.

MH *loves* having candles. And they were really handy when Hurricane Sandy knocked out our power.

I am a candle snob and only buy soy candles in certain scents (nothing vanilla or cinnamon scented). I have received some really nasty-smelling candles as gifts and promptly return them or re-gift them. Just be careful with the scent you choose.

No. I feel like I am the exception.
