@lucymo  I am glad to say that the wrapped candies which I just opened, are great, no missing glitter on the stripes.  


 

@mousiegirl, I read some reviews saying theirs had missing paint or glitter.  I was afraid yours would be that way, too.  Glad you like them.  When I first saw them online, I thought about getting them.  But again, there isn't enough tabletop space here for adding anything, so I have to be more selective than I want to be.  :-)

I am so disappointed.  I ordered 6 sets of the poinsettia picks (H208821) to go on the garlands on my stairs.  But,  you can't shape the poinsettias at all because they are made with soft plastic.  I spent a long time trying to shape one, then tried a different one, hoping for better results.  

 

This was my sole CIJ purchase ... and it's going back.  

 

On the bright side, I won't feel guilty if I find something I like this weekend.  Maybe there will be something I like better.

@juanitalinda  I'm so sorry that the poinsettia picks didn't work out for you.  They were rather pricey too so I thought they would be really nice.  I have thought about ordering them but won't now as I would want to be able to shape them too.  Thanks for your review.

I think it was item H209395, Kringle Express set of 2 (3') banners, I wanted the white with gold lettering, but since I wasn't watching, just checked a little while ago and the white/gold are sold out. I thought they looked nice and that it was something I could use. Oh well. If I remember, I will check tomorrow to see if any pop back in. Ya snoooze, ya lose, lol.

I changed my mind on not buying, but not kicking myself yet. It's been a very difficult week on jury duty (it could haunt my mind in the future); it was coming home each day drained. I saw the VPH candle rings, bought them, but only opened the boxes. They look good, but all that glitter!! Need to take those outside and shake hard and get rid of the frustration of the trial along with the glitter.

 

Then I picked up a berkshire blanket for my son's bed, which his things live here, but he doesn't, so it won't look so depressing to me. He was here for a month waiting for his new job to start in Utah. Exactly where he wants to be for now with a great job.

 

Now I want those luminara white candles with snowflakes....Who posted that?!! I have silver candle holders that they would look good to put on top!

They look like 360 ones in the pic, but it doesn't say anything and I wonder if they are really unscented...

 

This is all going the wrong way... way down the hole of wants!! Can I be saved from myself?

@Nomore. Haha, I doubt if you can be saved, but this is not the place to ask for shopping help.  We all have that shopping habit too. Every year we say we aren't buying but few sticks with the promise.  QVC loves us.  Lol

I decided to pick something up but ONLY because it was like super mega clearance priced, LOL.

 

I bought a Berkshire Throw.  Home Reflections Gingerbread Man Holiday Throw.

 

It's on a Last Clicks price so basically 50% off. We ALWAYS use throws during the winter so this will fit in nicely.

@Nomore, The snowflake candles definitely look just like the other 360s.  Strange that they didn't mention that in the description.  

 

@CaryH, I love a huge throw like the gingerbread one you ordered.  It has to be at least 50 x 70 for me to even consider.  Yours will be a huge 60 x 80.  Enjoy it.

Re: CIJ PURCHASES

[ Edited ]

The Luminara rechargeable tealights are back in a set of 4, but I don't think the battery life has been improved on these.  15 hours per charge?

Doesn't seem like an improvement, does it?

@SHOPR It looks like the battery life has gone downhill on these. I have 3 sets of these (mine came in sets of 6) and I get at least 4 nights on them on a 5 hour timer.  I've had mine for almost 3 years, and they are still going strong. I charge them once a week and usually put them out in my sconces on Friday nights to enjoy them on the weekend. For those interested, I found a copycat brand of these on eBay that are very inexpensive.
