I recently ran into a life-long Mt. Carmel friend (best surprise ever) at Ikea in the candle and vase area. We wondered together if the candles were any good from Ikea, because the price was amazing. Well, Rene got to the bottom of this one for us and I thought I'd share her findings :)
Today she sent me an email with the subject line: "If I had a blog..." and her first line was, "...Today's entry would be this: (thought you might like to know)"
Take it away Rene!
LIGHT A CANDLE FROM IKEA
Last weekend I purchased an orange (melon-smelling) candle from IKEA for $1.99
Since I like candles and have tried a few different brands over the years, here is my review.
(show photo here - before burning)
I would give it an A+ for the price
a B for the 'clean melting down the sides' ability (but do think I can recycle the glass jar when done - IKEA suggests using it for their votives, of course they are trying to sell you more stuff)
an A- for the smell - it was good, but have you ever tried a Colonial Candle? YUM! (But you do pay for that wonderful smell!)
(another photo of half burnt candle)
So, I think these 3 grades average out to an A-. Go ahead, pick one up on your next trip to IKEA. It's well worth it for the price!
This is some helpful stuff. I do believe I will be zippin over to Ikea one of these days for some A- candles of my own.
