k&g Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Went to Big Lots today and noticed they are starting to put out their Fall items - nothing for candles yet though ... BUT ... I took a gander over by the glassware and found these wonderful ceramic take out boxes! Poured one today and am burning it now - seems as though I might need 3 or 4 wicks because of the large top. Anyway - thought I'd share. Bought for $3.00 - should be able to sell for $20! It holds about 2lbs of soy! They had 18 on the shelf and I'm seriously thinking of going back and grabbing them all! There are about 3 different sayings ...happiness, dreams, peaceful ...The tin is something I've been having and just decided to fill w/soy also ...

k&g Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Have you wicked these yet or done a test burn? I would love to hear your results on them. I'm going to have to make a trip to Big Lots Monday lolI started with 2 wicks last night on the red take out box and could tell it wasn't going to work. Pulled everything out, remelted and poured w/3 wicks. Have been doing a marathon burn today and it seems 3 wicks will do just fine. Will keep you posted.I should have been clearer and stated I did not get the tin holder from Big Lots - it came from sunburst.com a couple of years ago! Now I see they don't carry them anymore! Figures!!Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 What size wicks are you using for it? Dang I really liked those tins lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirannda1 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I really like those containers. With 2 lbs in there it will be well worth the money when you sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k&g Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 What size wicks are you using for it? Dang I really liked those tins lolThe wicks in the red container are 48-28-18 C from earlyamericancandlesupplies.com.I decided to go back to Big Lots yesterday evening and get the rest of the containers cause I figured if the test burn didn't work I could always return them and I just knew if I didn't go back someone would buy them ... well 2 were already gone so I grabbed all the rest - 15 in all! I'm torn as to whether to go to the other store about 30 minutes away and see if they have them also. I really think I can sell most of them at the party I'm hosting in September which is going to be an early Holiday party w/gifts for Christmas and such.I liked those tin containers also - and it's my own fault I waited so long to try them. I first poured straight parrifin and it got so hot it was dangerous. I put the box on the shelf and never opened it when I started using soy and just thought about trying it again when I was rearranging 'the room'!

Shawnee Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I use to love Big Lots until my son saw a huge rat in there and thought it was a cat. It practically came right up to him. When I told the people up front, they were like, "Oh that's nothing, you should see the snakes we get back there." I won't go back! Nice containers though!
