I did buy a set and sent a set to my daughter in Denver.

 

However, I'm not sure I'll be able to light them because Bill the cat loves to climb.  He hasn't met anything too high to climb (not always successful).

 

My friend was over the other day.  She was talking to me and stopped suddenly and said, "OMG!  Are you kidding me!  I think he's trying to figure out if he could make it to the ceiling fan" (which was going around at the time).

 

I've had him for about 7 or 8 years now.  The vet thinks he was about 5 years old when he came to me.  He's getting up there but he hasn't gotten the memo yet!

Many find his candles ridiculously overpriced.  You can find candles at Big Lots or Michaels for a fraction of the price. No worry about Shipping and Handling and you can sample the scent yourself.

I won't buy his candles. There are small companies in our country that make great soy candles. I purchase awesome candles from a woman in NJ, "down the shore".

'Oh, gee'.............I thought they were free shipping..........

 

Just read your comment right this minute.  (Sunday)

 

CORRECTION:  Shipping isn't free.  Sorry.

@Reever you can find candles many places for a fraction of the cost, but that doesn't mean they are comparable to Harry's scents. And while you say "many find his candles ridiculously overpriced", there are many who do not.

@DJs mom ITA!  I have tried those cheap candles and they had so much soot and didn't burn evenly.  I do find a huge difference by paying alittle more for quality candles.

I don't care for his candles. He always seems to have mostly holiday scents, which I can't stand. Cinnamon, apple, pine, pumpkin pie....yuck, yuck, yuck!! Just thinking about them makes me nauseous!

What scent do you want in a candle @Sapphiregal ? The ones you mentioned are ones I like.

He what the NY tabloids refer to as a "Hamptonite" or a "socialite"  He seems totally out of touch with those struggling to make ends meet when he talks about all his candles in multiple rooms of his home and he burns them nonstop.
