Choose from over 100 different candles including tons of fun Christmas and holiday themes! 🎄

NOTE, if you’re planning to brave the store, it appears most locations are super crowded and lines may be long. With that said, online shopping may be a more appealing option even though you do have to pay shipping. Keep in mind that popular candle scents are selling out fast online.


Online Deal Idea:

(This is ONLY one online deal idea if you REALLY want to get the most out of the $5.99 shipping and score the limit of 15 candles! You can definitely opt to buy way less than 15 if you don’t want that many.)

3-Wick Candles $22.50+ each
Buy 15 = $337.50
Use promo code SHINEON
Total = $134.25

Shipping is $5.99
Final cost ONLY $140.24 shipped – just $9.35 each!

*Shipping is $5.99 flat rate for orders over $10 or $9.99 for orders under $10.


In-store Deal Idea:

3-Wick Candles $8.95 each (regularly $22.50+)
Buy 4 = $35.80
Use a possible $10 off $30 purchase in-store coupon (if you have one)
Final cost ONLY $25.80 – just $6.45 each!
HIP TIP: Did you know that most stores offers up FREE Cello, Ribbon and a Gift Tag with ANY purchase? Just ask your store associate for more details.

Rumor has it that the ‘Tis The Season candle is the most popular candle scent this year! Do you agree or disagree?

    Sticking UP OMG…

  2. Andrea

    Save yourselves from the madness of the store and just pay for shipping!!! 😫😫😫

  3. Missy

    Got in and out this morning. Thanks!

  4. Big Heart

    What smells good?

    • Stephanie

      A couple of my faves are Fresh Balsam and Marshmallow Fireside! My advice to you, get as many candles as you want at this price-even if you think you won’t like the scents, because you can go in the store when it’s much less crowded and even exchange your candles for fragrances you love. You will already be locked into the price. 😊

  5. M

    Our BBW is in an old, very empty mall. But today, the whole city was in there. Took 10 minutes to check out. They kept saying that special scents had run out. But, the stores was still full to the brim with candles. 😂

    • Kate

      10 minutes is nothing!! I purposely went to the BBW in a strip mall in the “not as nice” part of town, and I waited in line for 45 minutes

  6. Nisha

    I got in and out twice and only waited 10 min in line. It was worth it-I got nine candles and two holders for $6.45 each with two separate mailers. I’m stocked for 6+ months🤗

    • Brenda W

      I had no idea the holders were on sale until the associate ringing me out told the lady next to me. I wish I would have known!! 😢

  7. JJ

    I WAS AT THE DOOR 10:00 THIS MORNING WHEN THEY OPENED. I WAS IN AND OUT.

  8. NicoleS

    I was in and out at 8 this morning. Fresh balsam, frosted cranberry and it’s the season are my favorites!

  9. Wow

    My store open hours early and at 8 it was crazy workers said they didn’t find out to late last night they would open and I missed out on some of my scents I hate online will not let you use coupons

    • Kate

      You can always come back and exchange for different scents when the store is less crazy

  10. Cora

    I got two aromatherapy candles for the price of one with my free aroma therapy item for any aromatherapy purchase coupon and was able to stack it with $10 off $30!

  11. MD

    I went to two stores and neither one was giving out coupons for the next purchase 🙁

    • M

      Nope mine neither

    • Kate

      Me either

    • Stephanie

      Bath & Body Works stopped giving out coupons with purchase (called “bounce back coupons”) last Christmas. They brought it back for a limited time in October, but aren’t planing on making it a regular thing. (I’m a manager at one)

  12. Cora

    I got five candles in total including two aromatherapy candles for the price of one with my free aroma therapy item for any aromatherapy purchase coupon and was able to stack it with $10 off $30!

    • Asia

      Hey how did you get to use the aromatherapy coupon ? Mine doesn’t start til dec.4 🙁

      • Stephanie

        Bath & Body Works gives a 3-day grace period on all paper coupons. So, you can use it 3 days before it is valid or 3 days after it expires.

        • Asia

          Ok,thank you. I stay in bath and body works and I never knew that. I’m about to go back to the store and buy more candles . 😁
          Happy shopping !.

      • Ash

        They take coupons 3 days before the date on it and 3 days after expiration.

        • Jeni

          Not mine, I tried!! Very bummed.

  13. Sisi Bee

    I went to BBW early this morning. I had to wait in line a bit, but it was so worth it.

  14. Maclover

    For all those who do not have the 10 off 30, you could ask them at the register and they have a coupon that would scan for you. The cashiers were so helpful today. I was able to snag 4 candles w the deal mentioned and also a aromatherapy lotion for free w the free item coupon I had saved.

    • Kate

      I made friends with the people in front of me in line during our 45 minute wait and they offered me an extra one of their $10 off $30 coupons

  15. Nurse Heather 💉

    lol who has $140 for candles 😳

    • Andrea

      Why would it be $140?

    • Laurie

      My thoughts exactly!

  16. Kate

    I got 5 candles and a sleeve for 32.28 with tax. I had a $15 off $40 coupon and a free item that they let me use on the sleeve.

  17. Zita

    I’ve never bought these candles, but from what everyone was saying, this must be an excellent deal.

    I Purchased the max. 🙂

    Thanks you so much for posting!

  18. Obler

    All things considered…1 hour wait to check out 😳 My cashier let me do 2 transactions so I could use all of my coupons. 8 candles, 5 pocket sanitizers, a mini bath soap, and a men’s body lotion for $56. It’s a good day for H2Saving!!

  19. Denise

    I decided to brave the store around lunch time, I figured everyone at the mall would be eating. That was a great decision! Line was maybe 10 minutes long and I got 8 different candles and 2 candle holders, saved a bundle with my in mail coupons. I love this sale every year, I have waited over an hour in line before, so this year was so nice to be so easy breezy!!

  20. KelBen

    I had a $15 off $40 & $10 off 30 – 9 candles for at less than $60.

  21. Rose

    Are they still using toxic ingredients or did they change that? I love the smells of their candles!

    • Laurie

      I’m sure it’s still toxic crap – just like the rest of their products.

    • Abby

      I love their crap!

      • riss

        LOL!

  22. Alison

    Any deals on BBW hand soap coming soon? 😊

    • Mindy

      That’s exactly what I’m waiting for Alison!

    • Ash

      They had the $2.95 soap sale 2 weeks ago. That’s the sale I wait for each year to stock up for the whole year.

      I also got the candles today too. 13 candles, 1 bath fizzy (free), 2 candle holders (1 free), travel size lotion (free) and a $5 lotion. I did 4 transactions with my coupons and spent about $80. Last week at Kroger I bought $100 worth of bath and bodyworks gift cards for $80 with their promotion to get extra savings.

      All in all my shopping trip was great. I have an outlet store about 30 mins away I shop at, I avoid the mall at all costs. I was in and out when they opened at 9am. No line, maybe 12 people total in the store. I’m sure it will heat up later this afternoon since online is selling out. They started with over 200 candle types available and last time I checked they only had 62 left.

  23. Barbara

    Ours has a White Barn attached and we got free matches!

    • Andrea

      I got free matches too, but ours doesn’t have a white barn.

  24. Bunny

    I guess I’m in the minority here but I don’t care for these candles. Which is a shame because I really enjoy some of their various body products. I bought these several years back and despite smelling good when I sniffed the jar the scent while burning was very off putting.

    • Mg05

      The quality has gone down for these in the past few years. Yankee candle as well. I don’t like that they have mostly Christmas scents. I prefer spring or summer candles, I hate the smell of cinnamon or sugary stuff.

      • Stephanie

        You can still get the candles at this price and even exchange them when the fragrances you like come in. At least you will be locked into the price. 😊

        • Kay

          Great idea. I would like to get spring/summer scents too. How long do we have to exchange?

  25. Maryann

    Where do I sign up to get the coupons? Thanks

    • Ash

      They were giving them out a couple of months ago until they ran out with purchase. Some of the other coupons get malied to you. Put yourself on their mail list and when you buy things you get coupons mailed to you.

    • Blessed

      Not sure if this is true but this is what I was told and seems to have worked for me. Maybe a few months ago they updated their system and they were asking for a phone numbers and I used my home phone number and I have been getting coupons in the mail I have received at least 3 sets in the last 2 months. So if that ask for your number give the your landline home number if you have one.

  26. Meeshag

    Line was super long at our stores but customers are happy to wait in line and holiday atmosphere inside. Happy to get my candles with my coupons

  27. Kayla

    Ah man! Just realized that’s today. My mall is pretty popular and the B&BW store is fairly big. Not sure if I want to brave the store now or wait until later this evening.

  28. Tracy

    In line now. Super long but moving fast! So worth it! They were ready. Hundreds of every scent

  29. TabithaRN

    Got in and out this morning! Thank you so much!

    • Cassandra (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yay! You’re welcome!

  30. Mariapry

    My store was stacking coupons at checkout! Great deal!! Thanks hip2save- I ❤️ You!! 😃

    • Cassandra (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re quite welcome! We ♥ you too!

  31. Mindy

    First year doing this candle deal. Read it on here yesterday, so was prepared. 🙂
    Was in the door at 7:58am and back in the car by 8:11am. There were about 20 people waiting for the doors to open. Employee said it was busier than Black Friday!
    Got 5 candles and a free item (hand soap) for $29.75 + tax (had $15/40). Woo hoo!!
    Got the candle that smells like coffee and it smelled SO GOOD in the store….hopefully it smells just as good when burning.
    THANKS H2S!!

    • Cassandra (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re so welcome, Mindy!

  32. lisa

    Had the mailers coupon but in years pass they would hand out 10 off 30 coupon when you purchased something even day of the candle sale or make it available online. First year, they had no coupons to hand out…went to multiple stores
    They really are cutting back

  33. Laurie

    Bought 6 and used the $15.00 off 45.00. Great price, love this sale! Don’t forget to ask for cellophane bags, ribbons and tags:)

    • Cassandra (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Awesome score! Thanks for sharing, Laurie!

  34. Laurie

    Oops 15.00 off 40.00;)

  35. Brenda7

    I was in and out pretty quick. Bought 5 candles and a sleeve. Total 29.75 with the $15.00 off $40.00 and the free item coupon. Not bad but was a bit disappointed they don’t carry a lot of the colored candles in stock for this sale. I know the color doesn’t make any difference with the smell I just think they’re prettier. But a great deal at $5.95 each.

  36. Meeshag

    If you received the mailer with the free item up to $13.50 value with $10 purchase then you can also use that coupon to snag another candle. I used mine for one.

    • Maryann

      Hi, what did you sign up to get the mailer coupon? Thanks

    • Nikki

      Most stores will not let you use the free item coupon on another candle because the item has to be less than $13.50 regular price.

    • M

      Our store wouldn’t allow that because the regular price of the item is way more than $13.50.

  37. Natalierose01

    The line in my local store was NUTS, completely went outside the store and around the building. I took one look, turned around, went home, and GLADLY laid down $5.99 for shipping 😂 I did have a cranky toddler with me so that may have added to my decision! A lady who I chatted with that had a B&BW bag while we waited for the elevator said she waited in line probably and hour and 20 minutes!!!

    • Maria

      That’s crazy…I would go with my two toddlers either

  38. Brandy

    I checked our mail right before I left and received another mailer! Woohoo! 10 candles and 2 free body items for $6.98 each after tax! I learned my lesson last year when I only bought 5. 😁 Our store was absolutely nuts but I just wear my big girl pants & “deal with it” this time of year…everyone was friendly and there were plenty of candles to choose from! Try Winter Sage and Peppered Suede! ❤️

    • Maryann

      Where is you sign up to get the mailer coupons?

      • Brandy

        Maryann, I signed up to receive email marketing from BBW directly in the store with a cashier a year or two ago; maybe longer. I know that you can sign-up for emails online now as well. They don’t specifically tell you that by doing so you will definitely get mailer coupons, but they do ask you each time you check out in the store “if your email is correct” and I am pretty certain that they are using that to track your purchases/frequency which probably plays a big part in whether or not they mail you any additional discounts or “please come shop” offers. Hope this helps! Merry Christmas!

  39. Heather

    Got in and got 15 candles and 3 pair of aloe infused socks for $93 and change so around $6.20 a candle. They had plenty of staff and they were very helpful. Checking out only took 10 minutes once I was ready. Just wish they had the bags like last year. We had to ask that they take the 6 packs to the register because I was with a child who could not hold that many.

  40. Tamara

    I would have bought more, but i only had 1 coupon. I buy according to my coupon availability. I shopped most of the sales and now i am completely coupon-less. 😑

  41. Edy

    Love their candles – couldn’t go myself so i gave 3 mailers that , i got along with my free item , i but never get emailers my daughter gets them at her house and she gives them to me , and my husband who never shops gets them , love this only buy candles and hand soap , thank you

  42. Happy Aunt

    I was completely disappointed to not have coupons to use. I used to get them Ithe mail, but it’s been a long time. I inquired about it once and they put me back in their system. I got one or two mailings and it’s probably been 6 months since the last one came. I think I was the only one in the store without coupons. Used the old 20% email instead. Better than nothing.

    • Brandy

      I am not certain but I believe that once they discontinued the “bounce back” coupons last December (the ones they always used to put in your bag with your receipt after a purchase) they have moved to a “frequent customer incentive” program. I am pretty sure they are tracking how frequently you (and I) shop in the store and send out marketing accordingly; because they always as me at check out “if my email is correct” or if I have “given them an email to associate with my purchase.” Lots of people decline that question in the store and I think that is why a lot of people on the BBW posts are mentioning that they aren’t receiving coupons. Just my two cents!

  43. Kathleen Zarske

    Store was crazy today…. After experiencing holding 8 candles in my arms in line I think I would just pay the 6 bucks shipping but I had other things to do at the mall today. Tis the Season is really great smelling and the employee did say it’s the most popular scent this season.

  44. Jessica

    I went to my store at 1 before work. Store was crazy busy.. luckily i get their candles all the time and I looked online before hand so I knew exactly what candles I wanted. There was a ton left in stock. Waited in like for about 15-20 minutes so not terrible. The only thing I was irritated about was they wouldn’t let me use my free item coupon for the candle sleeve. I know the original price is more then the allotted $13.50, but they were on sale today and I know for a fact I’ve used it on sale items. (I used it on a candle one time) I didn’t want to make a fuss because it was so busy and didn’t want to make other customers mad. So I just had her grab me a men’s body wash that was behind the counter.

    Also FYI: They said they are NO longer accepting Retail Me Not coupons. Not sure if it’s nationwide or just my store.

  45. Tonia

    Completely sold out online! I’m visiting in CA from SC and don’t want to travel with candles. What do I do?

  46. Muche

    Sold out online!!!!

    • Dawn

      Isn’t that crazy?! I don’t think that’s happened before…I placed my order online earlier this morning and promptly received confirmation. It was worth $5.99 to avoid the crowds…even if they were happy holiday crowds. 🙂 💗

  47. L

    No clue where I went wrong but mine came out to be 7.48 a candle got 6 candles a sleeve and mini lotion all with coupons and ended up 46 or 48 after taxes! But was still happy got the last 3 coffee and some hot cocoa ones! They would wrap 2 candles for me but no big deal it is I got bags for Home

  48. Rachel

    Sold out online.

  49. AOhio

    For some reason I didn’t get the mailed coupons, but I had an e-mail for 20% off my entire purchase that “expired” yesterday (12/1) but they honored the coupon. Got 9 candles for $7.16 each. Not as good at the 10 off 30, but something off is better than nothing!

  50. Patti

    How do they sell out online? Geez. Have to wait until next year I guess. Closest store to me is 45 mins away:(
    And does anyone know why you can’t use coupons online?

    • Jennifer (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Online they only allow one code and since the candle deal requires a code, you cannot use more. I’m sorry.
