What’s new for Candle Day 2025

This year’s line features festive novelties alongside comfort classics. Expect playful holiday one-offs, cozy bakery profiles, evergreen woods, and a handful of online-only or early-release fragrances that typically sell out first. Collections built around “sweet shop,” “winter woods,” and “spa-clean” profiles are headliners, with a few nostalgic comebacks for longtime fans.

How to shop Candle Day 2025 like a pro

1) Build your haul list first. Group by category (fresh/clean, gourmand, woodsy, floral) so you can pivot if a scent goes out of stock.
2) Prioritize exclusives. Limited or online-only scents should go in your cart first; staples are easier to find later in the weekend.
3) Use the 24-candle limit strategically. If you’re shopping for gifts, think in trios: one classic crowd-pleaser, one seasonal, one wildcard.
4) Expect a queue online. Don’t refresh repeatedly—let the virtual line advance. Have payment and shipping saved in your account for a faster checkout.
5) Shop early in store. Doors may open at 6 a.m. local Friday. Lines move quickly, but popular fragrances can vanish before noon.
6) Inspect lids and glass. With high volume, check for wobbly wicks or loose lids before you head to checkout.
7) Know the returns policy. Unburned items are typically exchangeable if you change your mind on a scent—keep your receipt.

Frequently asked Candle Day questions

Do I need a code? No—pricing auto-applies in the app, online, and in store.
Can I stack rewards? Rewards policies vary by region; some stores allow using a single-item reward on non-candle items in the same transaction. Ask at checkout.
Is there a separate online limit? The 24-candle limit generally applies per transaction online and in store. Some carts may cap at 24; place another order if needed.
Will stores restock during the weekend? Select locations receive small top-up shipments, but assume while supplies last—shop early for exclusives.
What about single-wicks and accessories? Candle Day focuses on 3-wicks. Holders and accessories may be promoted separately but aren’t guaranteed at the $9.95 price.

Smart gifting and budgeting

• Unit math: At $9.95 vs. typical $26–30 shelf prices, you’re saving ~60%+.

• Gift sets: Pair a 3-wick with a matching hand soap or wallflower for an easy under-$20 host gift.

• Room planning: Larger living spaces benefit from stronger throws (woods/evergreens/gourmands). Softer florals suit bedrooms and desks.

• Stash strategy: Store backups upright, cool, and out of direct sunlight; trim wicks to ~¼ inch before each burn for cleaner jars.
