Maybe they see people praising Kringle for charging $30+ for a plain painted black jar and a stock photo label for their Halloween candles and thought, hey maybe we can charge something similar for a custom-designed lid, extravagant artwork and most likely a stronger scent payoff.

@@TheCandleChannel I don’t know anyone in real life who even knows Kringle exists let alone would spend $30+ on a candle, so I have no input on that.

Thank you for addressing the expensive lid situation with the Halloween release. I could not care less about those lids, in fact, if anything they're a deterrent because they often make the candles harder to store. I love Halloween and apple scents and am running tragically low on my beloved Wicked Apple. Candy Apple Cauldron isn't quite the same but it still smells great and the packaging is super cute with the witchy/fortune teller vibes. If not for that lid I would stock up with at least four, but because of the crazy upcharge B&BW is getting no money from me on that one!

I don’t think we can compare BBW and Kringle apples to apples. Kringle sometimes pours what, like a few hundred of a single candle versus BBW who has to produce tens of thousands in a single fragrance to support their entire fleet of physical retail stores - stores that do indeed need to appeal to the masses. Kringle can get away with releasing niche gory Halloween candles, but if BBW did the same and it didn’t go over well, it’d be so much of a financial loss to them. BBW has to support an entire retail store overhead, complete with leases, floor set displays, sales associates, etc. so of course they will need to be more calculated and mass appeal than a niche brand like Kringle who can be a lot more risky. And if we do wanna compare them head to head, then why is Kringle kosher with releasing $30+ plain black jars with stock photo labels for Halloween but all hell breaks loose for a similar price point at BBW with a custom-designed lid, extravagant artwork and most likely stronger throw?

I purchased quite a bit of the Halloween decor. I got the gazebo that was online exclusive and now it's sold out. Also got the hearse, the dancing skeleton, the snake tray, the witch hand mist holder and a cpl wall plugs and pocketbacs. Not into the whole cycloptopus stuff this year ,but i agree that they def went all out. I mean, there has to be something for everyone it seems. I did not pick up any fancy lid candles. I really want candy apple cauldron and wicked vanilla woods ,but not at the high price point that's for sure. I picked up spooky moontini today and it is very similar to enchanted candy potion. With maybe some added citrus? Hopefully it's stronger than ECP was tho. That one was so weak. 😢 Loved the scent tho.

I will not being paying the high price for the fancy lids on the Halloween candles. I have so many Kringle Halloween candles from years past. I don’t buy from them anymore, because they are scentless since the all soy blends. BBW is a candle brand that I still buy from consistently though. Are they always perfect? No, but they are a lot better than most of the candles out there at this price point. Really enjoyed this video. You always keep it real, and I like that.

TGIF! I think BBW did an amazing job with their Halloween collection this year. Like you, I don't decorate using candles and the price points are too steep for me. I plan to get a Pumpkin Carving 3-wick as I get one every year. I picked up several fall candles yesterday. Burning Pumpkin S'Mores now and I like it better after it's pooled out some than on cold. It is a bit reminiscent of the Feliz Navidad candle, although the spice note is not prominent but kind of there, if that makes sense. I encourage you to try the chat bot to request price adjustments on the Stranger Things candles you ordered through BOPIS. I successfully was credited $7.49 per candle and it did not take much time. You need your BOPIS order number and they'll take care of the rest. Good luck if you decide to pursue it. Have a fantastic weekend!!
