Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Good price; excellent throw; something different Cons: I found a whole collection of Martha Stewart Everyday brand candles on my last visit to K-Mart. There were many candle sets within her collection (e.g., Seasonal, Zen, for the Kitchen, etc.) of candles. The packaging for Martha Stewart Candles are as attractive yet as simple in design as everything else she does. I bought a 3-pak of candles that are combined together by scent. I chose the smallest size to try them out. They were in a heavy orange wrapper with a lovely herbal plant picture on the outside with Martha Stewart EveryDay on the label as well as the wording "3 Distinct Candles" in smaller letters. The packaging and contents make them a lovely, unique gift for a bridal shower or for a teacher's Christmas present. Although these smallest candles are almost votive size in appearance, each container held a 6 ounce candle. The candles themselves were in small frosted glass holders which can be used again. I bought them for the sale price of $6.00; the regular price was $8.99. The 3-pak of candles I chose had the following scents, which I believe were put together to compliment one another scent-wise: Mountain Cabin, Tahitian Villa and Tuscan Retreat. I think you could scatter the 3 candles between 3 small rooms to see how the scents melded together as they wafted through your house to form a sort of scent harmony. However, because the cold scent seemed pleasantly herbal and spa-like to me, I decided to place all 3 together on a small table I have in my bathroom. The color of the wax is a soft herbal green for the Tahitian Villa and Tuscan Retreat and the Mountain Cabin is a pale dove gray. They are all attractive when placed together, in that simple, clean look Martha Stewart advocates. I like the scent of the Tuscan Retreat enough to go back and purchase it singularly, as each scent was also available alone in larger sizes. But this 3-pak seems a good way to sample the scents and burn. Although the candles appear to be soy, the package does not state what the wax makeup is. Each candle has a strong cotton wick with a zinc core that did mushroom slightly and burned totally across the containers forming a good wax pool with no wax residue clinging to the sides. The wicks trim well and the candles continue to throw strong scent at each relighting. The scent throw is moderately strong, as you might expect from 3 candles burning together in a small area, but not in the least overpowering. The combination of these 3 scents seem to give one sort of a euphoric feeling, which is what I like, and sort of expect, but seldom get, from higher priced spa candles. How the scent throw would be from these small sized candles if they were separated and put in larger rooms I do not know; I expect you would need a larger sized set of the candles for larger rooms. The combination of scents from my 3 pak seemed fairly elegant and sophisticated but not perfumy -- just light, simple and spa-like and I am very pleased with my purchase, enough so that I am going to buy these scents in larger sizes and watch to see if Martha Stewart Everyday candles will have similar Christmas scents, either grouped together or in individual larger candles. I am an oddity in that I am not a huge fan of bakery scented candles except for the occasional one now and then so this find of the elegance and different scent harmonies of the Martha Stewart Everyday candles 3-pak made my day.

No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Pros: Attractive presentation Cons: Zero Scent Throw I purchased a package of Martha Stewart Tealights in Tahitian Vanilla over the summer at my local K-mart. I believe I paid $9.00(on sale) for a package of 12 tealights. Now I know that seems like alot for tealights but they were not ordinary tealights. They were each housed in a frosted tealight cup. In other words you did not need a holder for them. They really were quite pretty. Just lay a few on the coffee table and call it a night. However, they smelled wonderful in the package with absolute zero smell burning. I had to keep asking my mother if she smelled anything. She said yes, but I think it was to make me feel like I had not wasted my money. Anyway, I gave them a 4 for packaging alone. I hate buying a scented candle and when you burn it you smell nothing but hot wax. Sorry Martha, at least they were cute.
