I am looking at purchasing candles for family members this Christmas - but I want to get one that is longlasting in burning time and retains it smell for its life. I know Yankee Candles are good - but kinda expensive in my price range.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know where you are located but here in Ohio there is a company called Molly's soybean candles. The scent is mixed in with a soy bean based 'wax' and the wicks are cotton. They come in many scents and are sold in some feed stores, little stores that sell hand-crafted items, and flea markets. They burn approx 40 hours and smell wonderful. There is a variety of fragrances from floral to cakes and cookies. A search on the net for "soybean candles" should find something for you. Prices for Molly's are $5 each plus shipping and handling. I did see another site offering candles for $6.95 + sh & h. Good luck.

ticka, i love yankee candles. but ur right about the cost. but if u buy a tart burner and the tart candles they last a long time and i believe they smell better and last. you get more aroma, so that is what i buy and its cost is about 99 cents each.

Never even heard of Yankee candles!

This is where I get all my candles, it is local but you can order online if you like!

Their Cinnamon bun and Blueberry(which were used for my cousin's wedding) candles are to die for!
