Nothing reminds me more of the bounties of autumn than scents of apple cider, pine cones, maple syrup and pumpkin pie. A perfect fall evening would ideally involve sitting in front of a crackling fire after enjoying a sumptuous feast involving my favorite comfort foods. Pinot Noir and apple pie? Of course they go well together! Don’t even get me started about cheese which is my #1 guilty pleasure this time of year, actually every time of year, but I try to lay off the cheese during the summer for obvious reasons. By the time sweater weather arrives, I can enthusiastically embrace my forbidden foods with renewed zeal 🙂
September 22 was the official autumnal equinox but I started thinking about what affordable fall candles I’d be buying long before that. For those of you candle lovers who don’t know, late September through Novemberis the perfect time to snap up some amazing bargains to cozy up your home and get you into the fall spirit. If you wait any longer than this you’ll be just another desperate, stressed out shopper forced to pay top dollar for for what’s even left on the shelves for the family Thanksgiving celebration.

Hi Erica,
You really love candles! So do I and I am not sure if we have Bath & Body Works stores here in Serbia. I believe that we still don’t have them 🙁 And I know exactly what you mean when you talk about those candles. They are amazing!!! And unfortunately Amazon doesn’t have delivery for my country yet 🙁 But I am going abroad soon and will buy some for sure since I visit that store every time I pass by.
Best,
Sunny
Hi Sunny,
No Bath & Body Works or Amazon in Serbia? My heart really goes out to you. I would need to make major changes in my shopping if I couldn’t rely on Amazon. You are smart to stalk up while abroad and make sure to bring along an extra large suitcase. Thanks for stopping by:)
Hi Erica,
I must admit I have never really been into candles but after reading your article you have inspired me. Having your home smell like the season is a great idea and will make your house a home. I especially like the Cranberry Woods and the the Flannel candles. Thanks for the heads up about the sale.
Celeste,
Those are two of the most popular seasonal candles and they sometimes don’t even stay on the shelves around Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you’re not really into candles, Bath & Body Works also carries a wallflower plug-in of these scents which you can buy directly from them or on Amazon. It’s another great way to get your home ready for the holidays:)
