** The Latest Info on Bath & Body Works Candle Day
Bath and Body Works Candle Day is just around the corner!
We’ve got all the latest news about Bath and Body Work’s popular Candle Day Sale!
The overly-anticipated Bath & Body Works Candle Day Sale is practically around the corner, and we’ve got some awesome tips below to help you gear up and get ready!
In the past years, Candle Day has always landed on the first Saturday of December. If following the same pattern, this year’s sale will be on December 3rd. We’re breaking down the most recent info and tips Bath and Body Works has given us so far and will be sure to update once we hear more!
What is Candle Day?
The sale infamously features 3-wick candles for around 60% off – as low as $8 – $10.50!! These candles usually go for $26.50, so this sale is the ultimate time to stock up on your favorite scents and potential Christmas gifts. Rewards members usually get early access, so your best bet is to download the app (available for iOS and Android) and sign up! Turn those push notifications on to make sure you don’t miss out.
With the app, you can even scan the candles in-store during the sale and collect tons of points for it! Bath & Body Works also recommends that you start eyeing the new candles, as even the most recent releases are usually part of the big sale.
Plus, Bath & Body Works usually sends out coupons via mail or email around the time of the sale that can be stacked with the sale, making the candles up to 75% off! Last year, readers had coupons for 20% off the entire purchase!
Make sure you’re on the Bath & Body Works mailing list to save BIG!
Bath & Body Works sends out various mailer coupons several weeks before Candle Day that often include free product coupons with NO purchase required, $15 off $40 purchase, 20% off, and more!
If you’re not on their mailing list yet, head on over here and choose the “Mailing Address Add/Update” option from the drop-down menu and enter your information. And, did you know that if you receive a mailer with several coupons attached to the same card, you can use ALL three coupons in one transaction? Yes, it’s true!
The Bath and Body Works candle day does not exclude seasonal products; you’ll find candles from all year round, which is super exciting if you love fall candles but didn’t get the chance to stock up!

OMG I live for this sale every year!! Let me start stretching now!! š
Woohoo! We’re excited too!
Another former employee tip: just like semi-annual sale, inventory varies by store, so if you live in an area where you have access to more than one B&BW then shop multiple stores to increase your haul! šÆ
SWEET! Thanks for the helpful tip!
our bath and body works is in the mall will the mall open that early?
You can always check with your location to be sure!
we have one in the mall i called and they are opening at 6am
What is the price for the candle during this sale?
They’re usually over 60% off.
I have never bought one of their candles. Are they really that good? Do they last a long time? Does the smell fill the room?
In my opinion, yes, yes and yes. We have a large great room and hallway off of that. People frequently comment on how good it smells when they come in the front door (opposite end of the hallway) when I have them burning. I also think they last a very long time!
They are really good!!!
Also they accept exchanges at any time. So get whatever scents you can score for that Candle Day price and the wait until next year when they release the fall and holiday scents again and go exchange. After the first year you will always be ahead and have the candles you want for the best price.
So I can take a used candle to B&BW anytime & exchange it for a NEW one??? How is that allowed, never heard of that before š
A used candle that’s been enjoyed isn’t the criteria of 100% guaranteed. If you bought XYZ fragrance, burnt it tonight & disliked the the fragrance, return it tomorrow. A half to fully burnt candle that’s been enjoyed shouldn’t be returned, IMO. I think that can be equated to returning socks that were worn for 6 months and returned for a new pair. Generous return policies are changed when people take advantage & misuse the intended purpose.
Settle down. She takes them back unused to get a fall scent she wants.
What on earth are you getting worked up about ? She buys them new and returns them brand new, she doesnāt use them. Geesh ā¦
Carralyne, I think your response is off. I think you’re the one being worked up. Pls be more positive š
She doesnāt use them.
Check with each individual store for exchange rules. My local store will exchange items, but they will return the item at the price you paid, but the item you exchange it for will be rung up at current price. So, you may owe money for the same item in a different scent. And if you donāt have a receipt, they will return it at the lowest sale price.
Sorry my question is a little late, but if you put the candles in your cart to check out online, then the morning the sale starts, does anyone know if that increases your chances of having a better experience buying online or using the app? I have only shopped the sale one time and it was in 2019 in the store, was so excited to do it again last year but then like everything else COVID put a damper on my experience. Thanks in advance!! And everyone stay safe!
Yes! I did this exact thing last year and got everything I wanted. I woke up early the day of the sale and just completed the payment info.
Does anyone know if they are having a handsoap sale on a Saturday sometime leading up to the holidays? I have been a good girl and not bought any soap in two years. I’m finally almost through my stockpile and want to buy more. They always used to have a “lowest price of the year” handsoap sale maybe the weekend before or after the candle sale. Anybody have news on this?
I have been buying the shower gel and adding water to use in the foaming hand soap pumps. Lasts me so much longer. I think I actually read it in another Hip2Save comment in the last couple years! š
That is a great tip! Thank you
Today, Nov. 20, all handsoaps are $2.95. You can combine coupons to get them for less!
Didn’t read the other comments so not sure if someone said this but did you see the soap sale for today?
I have the current coupons – expires end of month. Looking to trade each one for kohls cash
20% purchase
10 off 40
Free $15 item with purchase
Somerlove at verizon dot net
I have kohl’s 20% thought it expires on the 20th
I think my mail lady is taking my coupons.
Sign up for USPS Informed Delivery. You get an email everyday with what’s coming that day to your mailbox. Ever since I started doing that about 3 or 4 months ago I have received mailers every month.
I havenāt received any either
I got my December mailer this week and was a little disappointed. While there is a 10 off 40 coupon in mine, there was no 20% off to stock up on candle day š It’s still better than nothing, so I won’t complain. Does anybody know, when they send a free item coupon up to to a certain dollar amount, are sale prices taken into consideration for the dollar amount? I have one that’s up to 13.50 value and I’m wondering if I can use it for a free candle when they’re on sale.
You can’t use the candle as a free item because the price is based on the original, not the sale price.
I havenāt received printed coupons in a year and I havenāt been inside the store for longer than that. Give me tips on the best scents. Thanks.
Marshmallow fireside is AMAZING! And you can’t ever go wrong with Vanilla Bean Noel.
Thanks!
Frozen Lake is amazing as well as Winter Candy Apple
My store in the mall had a calendar up this morning posting the hours for the upcoming season and it shows 5 AM for Black Friday and Sat, yet the next weekend (predicted candle day) has no early hours posted at all! Could candle day in fact BE BLACK FRIDAY this year? I’m probably way off just wanted to say something.
Never mind….it was just the malls hours posted and not Bath & Body works! They changed signs today to reflect the 5 AM sales times.
Shoot, I just bought some yesterday because I thought the big sale was over and I didnt want my coupons to expire. I guess I should pay more attention. I only bought 3 because over the past years if I bought more for some reason the candles wouldnt last as long with burning.
I wasnt sure how to email a “hot tip\deal” (and not sure if hip2save mentioned it) but amazon warehouse on amazon.com has alot of items with an extra 20% off. I can send you screenshots if you want. I found some nice deals today.
Thank you so much!!! We are taking a look at this now.
You could not pay me to shop in-store on candle day bwahahahaha!!
I wonāt even get up for free stuff that early.š“
What are yalls favorite scents? I’ve never had a BB&BW candle.
I love champagne toast. Throws a strong scent and is just so good for any season!
Champagne toast is my favorite too. It has nice scent that isnāt overpowering. Some scents give me a headache but not that one.
BBW have been my favorite candles for many years, but I’ve been so frustrated with their ways of doing business lately, I’ve given up on them. Selectively sending coupons to only some, low balling the B3G3 deal so the 3 lowest items are free vs matching up the similarly priced items, etc. Found some very similar smelling ones to my BBW ones at Kohl’s after reading about the Black Friday deal here and paid less than $5 a piece when all was said and done. Burning one now as I type and its great!
BBW employees donāt really have say in how their registers work the B3G3 sale. You do need to buy similarly priced items to work out the best deal. Now, that being said, as a former employee, i would (when it wasnāt busy!) help a customer out by breaking up their transactions to help them save the most, but you cannot expect that kind of treatment from every employee in every store on every single day. We tried to ring 6 of the same/similar products together in a big order but sometimes it just didnāt work out the way youād want it to on a transaction. š¤·š»āāļø
I recognize that this is all corporates doing and I figured it out by reading the sale details before I ever made it to the cash register over the weekend. My six items were 2 each of 3 different prices. Instead of them ringing up bogo for each price point, they would have only made the three lowest items free. Poor customer service in my book. Not all retailers operate this way.
What are your favorite Kohl’s scents please?!
The one I used today is called Walking in a winter wonderland. Its very similar to the Hot Apple Toddy that BBW has had. Peace on Earth is yummy too.
Any word on if Kroger/Fred Meyer will have their $5 candle sale this weekend too?
Unburned candles are exchangeable! If your store doesnāt have all the scents you want, consider buying candles at this price point and exchanging them later for the scents you really wanted to begin with (this could be tough with seasonal scents, but itās still worth the reminder).
Just FYI, check exchange policies at your local store. My local store will exchange, but they will return it at the price you paid, (or their lowest price without a receipt), and then ring the new one you want at current price. So you may end up owing money.
I cannot wait! Last year i went to grab only sweater weather and it was gone from 3 stores, and i had to drive 30miles to get them.
I was told by my store manager today that the sale is only Friday and Saturday, NOT Sunday.
Please educate yourselves on how unhealthy these candles are for you, your family and your home!! Burning paraffin candles is basically like burning fossil fuels in your homeā¦ itās not good for your body or the environment.
Jessica, Iād love to educate myself, may you please provide some scholarly sources / articles where I can read more about this? š
Evidenced-based articles that have science is a great idea! Always amazes me in comments on Hip2Save how folks either have to put a damper on excitement or change the topic, all the while, Hip2Save is just doing their awesome job! Thanks, Hip2Save for all the candle sale info!
https://www.earth.com/news/scented-candles-toxic-particles/
There is lot of research on this. Good deal or not, if you are compromising your health, then the cost is too high.
Also, there are SO MANY small makers out there. I know they’re not a “good deal”, which is why we all shop through Hip2Save. But many of the small makers use natural or organic materials and essential oils. PLUS – just imagine the happy dance they do when they make sales! I doubt that happens at corporate B&BW. I’m a maker (not candles), but I literally do a happy dance when I make sales on Etsy. š
Will the store be able to scan a gift card from my phone? Or do I need to print it?
They should be able to scan it. I’ve done it several times.
Does anyone know if Bath and Body Works plan to come out with wax cubes?
I jus got an email today saying 2 days only $8. candles and it’s live now. Is this the sale?
oops, never mind. That is for single wick!
Thanks for the update!
This sale begins on Friday, Dec. 3rd. Hope that helps!
Does anyone know how much the candles will be yet? Bath and Body works has not posted anything about the price of them yet?
We just heard they’ll be $10.25. The post has been updated with further details. Woohoo!
Candles will be $10.25.
Thanks, Amy! The post has been updated.
I heard candles will be 9.95!
Thanks for sharing! It appears they will be $10.25.
I received an email from BBW with $10.25 as the price for Candle Day.
Yay! Thank you, Sharon!
I have a $10 off $40 coupon. Looking to trade for kohls cash/rewards. Somerlove at verizon net
Any current or former employees out there that do not get coupons anymore? Mine stopped when I was hired, I only worked there a month. That was last year and I still donāt get coupons. Itās driving me crazy! Lol
I have a $10 off $40 if anyone is interested in trading for $3 PayPal, Dunkin or Amazon! Makingtrades1@gmail.com
Dang it stinks for all of us moms who have to get kids off to school on the morning !
I remember a few years ago when you could get these around $6 with coupons. Itās almost not worth the bother anymore. š¤·š¼āāļø
I remember that too. I personally, don’t think it’s worth it anymore.
I had coupons for $10 off $30 and $10 off $40, plus free product. I ended up getting them at about $6!
Am I crazy because $10 for a candle still sounds expensive to me. The BBW candles burn so fast! I miss my Aldi, but I find good deals at TjMaxx too.
If you have a $10 off of $40 mailer coupon it would come out to be $7.50 a piece for fourā¦. Not great but not terrible eitherā¦.
I donāt think you can combine that coupon with the candle deal, can you??
what stops anyone from signing up with a different, qualifying, zip code so we can get “in” on the rewards and early access? Anything?
Lol thatās exactly what I did! I used my old zip code now Iām a member
What makes a zip code āqualifiedā?
Because you have to have a zip code from a city that has a store that offers the rewards program, not all stores offer it yet.
They are doing a test market group and only certain zips qualifyā¦. They have almost in their website
Thanks for the info! Just wanted to confirm it starts in-store tomorrow (Dec 3)? It is worded a little funny so wanted to make sure I understood it correctly.
You’re welcome! Yes! You can shop this sale in stores, starting tomorow, December 3. Most stores will open at 5AM. Happy shopping!
So the sale in store itās it tomorrow or Saturday? If itās tomorrow Iām ready – I download coupons in meinjer and kroger accounts my daughters and bought 2 $25 dlrs gift cards pay $45 and did the same with Sephora Adidas Carterās bought $15 gift cards of those stores 2 of each paid $20 but each card has $15 then Kohlās and Macyās bought 2 Macyās $25 each paid $40 but each card has $25 and Kohlās bought 2 $25 each paid $40 but each has $25 and now using them
I don’t understand a company that let’s reward member customers shop early, when they are not a nationwide program yet. It seems very unfair. I tried 6 zip codes all over the country and still no luck signing up. I only wanted a few candles, so if I don’t get them, no big deal. I’ll wait for the semi-annual sale.
acgold – use any zipcode in Chicago area
Try 43203
Try 31326. I am a rewards member and am currently waiting in line on the website. However, I have found candles cheaper at TJ Maxx.
$10.25 is not worth it for me. I already have 6 in the stockpile so no need for me to get up early or fight the crowds for this. I am expecting a better deal on candles. No go for me
Im disappointed, I’ll pass, it’s NOT A SALE in my opinion. This what I usually pay regularly when combining coupons.
Anyone have a 20% off bath and body works coupon they wonāt be using? I have a $10 kohls
Mldavis007@cox.net
I am not eligible to be a rewards member due to my location. Can I still get the reduced price on candle day?
Yes, the candle day sale price that starts tomorrow morning is for everyone. They’re just letting rewards members shop the sale early online.
Every flavor I wanted was unavailable to pickup at store
I called B&BW today because I havenāt received any coupons in the mail for more than a year. My mailing address is current and there arenāt any digital coupons in my app, just the āsales.ā The representative told me that the coupons are only mailed twice a year and that none are eligible to be used on the candle day sale. She said the ācandle day sale is the coupon.ā Iāve never heard this before! Wondering if anyone else has?
So I canāt use my $15 off $40 in store? It hasnāt expired
You won’t be able to use your coupon online since there’s a code to put in. And depending on if there is a bar code with the email tomorrow for in-store you might not be able to use it in-store either…which is a shame.
Coupons are mailed out monthly. I have received coupons monthly for the last 3 or 4 months in the mail.

Iām in the virtual line & my wait is MORE THAN AN HOUR š©
I was online 30 minutes before, and when it turned 9, it put me in a 1 hour virtual line. What a joke!
I got in but it won’t let me apply the discount code
Me too. Says the code is incorrect.
That’s a huge disappointment! With shipping & tax it makes very little difference at this point. They could have done better.
I just wanted to go to the site and browse, but I’m stuck in the virtual line now!
