I didn't even need to light the holiday mug candles to enjoy them! Four years ago I bought 2 fancy, holiday cup candles (eggnog with cinnamon stick in a little glass punch cup AND a big, white, knitted texture mug with frothy peppermint mocha), and very time I walked past them or into the rooms I could smell the fabulous smell unlit!
3 years into enjoying them without even lighting them I finally lit the peppermint mocha. Oh boy, the wonderful smell filled the room! This year is year 4 with these adorable candles, and I still don't need to light them, lol! I FINALLY lit the eggnog one just last night! Delightful! And when I put them away in my hall cupboard in January I will continue to smell their amazingly yummy smell throughout the year when I open that cupboard. So glad the candle booth was back at the German Market this year. I got 2 more beautiful, vintage style, carved glass cup candles (peppermint and a mulled cider). I didn't NEED more, BUT I just had to see and have what was new this year. 10 out of 10, recommend! Find the scents you love the most, in the holiday cup that is the cutest or classiest to you, and you will just love them even unlit!
