Wickford and Co, Yankee Candle… Home Bargains Candles: Wickford and Co, Yankee Candle…

In any case, the Wickford and Co candles have quickly become some of my favorite cheap scented candles in the UK, along with the Poundstretcher candles and the DW Home candles that I find at TK Maxx in London. Since the type of wax used in the Wickford and Co isn’t specified anywhere – neither on the candles nor on Home Bargains online, I have not been able to figure out what type of wax is used; soy, coconut, or paraffin. Since 2019, she roams around the world, from London to Rome and shares her knowledge about makeup, scented candles, travel, blogging and the digital nomad lifestyle.

Some essential oils can be toxic to cats if ingested or inhaled in large quantities because your furry friend lacks the necessary liver enzymes to metabolise these oils. It’s like the brands you can find in the Asda candles aisles, with Pacific Wax Co and Scentsationals being rather unknown. My longest experience with the Wickford and Co votives was with the Mango Coconut cooler, which I found to be a little bit weak, even when I was burning it about a meter away from me. I have been burning Gingerbread for quite a few days now, and it feels as though it’s not burning while filling the room with a super nice fragrance for fall. Come to think of it, since I only had Gingerbread in a large jar, I will probably pick up the Wickford and Co Christmas candle set in the upcoming weeks, as I’m really attracted to the Frosted Vanilla and Sugared Fig and Blackberry scents.

With the few candle sets I’ve picked up plus the large jar of Gingerbread candle, I’ve got a lot to burn through.With the Wickford and Co Gingerbread candle, I’ve quickly understood why so many people are raving about the Home Bargains candles, especially since the packaging has since changed to match the new Yankee Candle packaging (coincidence? I picked up the gingerbread candle from Wickford and Co, which you’ll see in my Home Bargains candles haul and that I will review in just a few days for you.

I only picked up this one because it was the best, but both other Wickford and Co candles I found were also stunning. Choose unscented or lightly scented wax melts: Opting for products with milder or no fragrances can reduce the risk of overwhelming your cat's sensitive nose.If you have concerns or specific questions about your cat's health, it's always best to consult a veterinarian for personalised advice. Use temperature controlled wax melt warmer with a temperature control feature to ensure the wax does not get too hot and cause burns. In the Swizzels range, I’ve found very sweet, candy scented candles that I honestly did not like at all. One thing to note, while the candle sets are made in China, I’ve seen under the Gingerbread candle that it is made in Poland.

And anyway, I’m not a fan of small scented candles, unless they’re wax melts, so why deprive myself of trying out a new candle brand? A lot of the Yankee Candle wax melts smelled tremendously good, but I didn’t pick them up because a lot were open. Small amounts of essential oils might cause adverse reactions in cats, such as gastrointestinal upset, respiratory distress, or nervous system issues. One look at the label under the votives I got in the Wickford and Co candle sets showed me that Wickford and Co is made in China or in Poland depending on the candle, by TJ Morris Ltd.

But there are also lots of other Home Bargains candles worth picking up, and since I did smell quite a few of them I can already see what to expect from them in terms of hot throw.
