Thanks much!I should of added extra melts & room sprays too! Edited December 26, 2012 by samandkennasmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Actually I do all the above. Since I don't name them with holiday specific names I won't start putting the holiday aromas on special until the end of the season (March). Some of the ones that are considered Christmas-y (Mistletoe, Mulberry, Gincerbread) I actually keep in stock because it sells year round. In April I'll keep what I like and know I can use up and let friends & family opt for what they want. The rest of the wax products goes into storage and I'll start off next winter season with a sale to get rid of them. Remember - wax doesn't spoil so it depends on how much storage space you have. The room sprays should also hold over if you used the right preservative ... if not I'd get rid of them quickly. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbenimble Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I've read threads about this before but how does the pure soy hold up for you all? For me some scents do better than others but usually keeping them boxed up works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A local candle shop just puts their leftover seasonal candles in storage and then puts them back on the shelf the following year, theirs are parasoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I'd forgotten about for several years. It had great HT and burned perfect. Edited December 27, 2012 by jeanie353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redraider Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 My left over candles I have always boxed up and stored in the closet in my spare bedroom at home, along with the fragrance oils. The melts on the other hand I put on sale. The main reason is they are so strong that I can't stand to be around them. I know that sounds bad but all the scents mixed together in the closet make me sick to my stomach everytime I go in that room. I do pull out the ones that I will burn myself or family and friends.

carol k Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 My gb415 candles/tarts hold up great. Never had a problem in all these years. The tarts are packaged in polypro bags then in a regular zip lock bag & stored in a box for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redraider Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 maybe I should try the polypro bag. Can you smell them when they are in a box double bagged like that? I really can't take the tarts for very long. My gb415 candles/tarts hold up great. Never had a problem in all these years.

Isn't it odd how that happens with some waxes and some not. Or maybe its the FO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I do a cash and carry at my office. This year I sold almost everything but one case each of candles and soap. Anything left I take to the spring yard sales and sell at half off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judys Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I rename my melts. Even pine scents can be something like Spring Forest. They sell if they don't have a Christmas name. This year I didn't have left overs. Very busy up to the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
