If you are looking for a simple gift that you can hand out without worrying about running all over to figure out who should get what, this is a good "go to" thing to just buy a pile of.
They will give you a sack for each one....just buy a small pile of them and hand them out as you see the people you need to give a small gift to. They are really good candles too. I like to buy a stash of them just for our house when the sales hit.
You can order online as well.
I've learned NOT to buy tons of different scents for my house because if the power goes out it can make you sick if you have 13 scents going all at one time.

I burned out on those years ago.
But let me know when they come out with "Homeless Guy" or "Taxi Back Seat" or "Dumpster" or "August Porta Potty" scents, though.
I'd describe homemade candles as a wick-ed gift if I were to wax poetic.
* has embraced more masculine scents if you aren't into peonies and other petal potpourri. They have Coffee and Whiskey, Leather and Brandy, and others from which to choose.
Have fun Kasey 😘

They do have scents that are more "manly"....fyi.
I'm going to pick up some of the Christmas scents....but I'll grab a pile of general scents that I can hand out.
Do they have one that smells like Hoppes?
Sigh...I use this opportunity to work in "burned out, wick-ed, and wax" and it doesn't even ruffle a hair. Maybe I can-dle try harder.
Wasn't funny on your first attempt, and yet you keep trying... kinda like those birthday candles that you can't blow out I guess...

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
You are sure working hard!

Reminds me of old college days........where a young coed would comment "That's nice.....is it English Leather?". I'd answer......why yes.......much better than my usual......"Midnight-on-a-Goat Farm".

I'm just an original "Old Spice" guy. But WHOA!!! Even Old Spice now has nearly a full store shelf of different scents these days!
@KenK/84Bravo , do you know if your hand made, linked together candles are made of Bees Wax? That is what our ancestors used and I've enjoyed watching the flames burn on them for many years.
Kind a wanna melt lead so I can get a good whiff when I drop a nob of wax to dross the lead.
Bought 14. Among them were leather and brandy, cedar and suede, vanilla birch, fresh balsam, fresh linen. I'm not into flowery fragrances. I live in the woods. My home reflects my surroundings.
I got $400 worth of candles for $150. I keep them on hand for last minute gifts, power outages and ambiance.
You go Susie Girl!! I will probably end up in a very similar situation!!
Have you tried their laundry detergent?
Careful! You could have your poetic license suspended or revoked for that!
My youngest daughter just celebrated 15 years with B&BW. Mostly part-time as her main job is in a credit union.
Her house smells like a B&BW store.
