[affiliate/ad] One way and another, I’ve spent a lot of time in TK Maxx over the past week. Firstly, I was admiring a pair of my sister’s ear-rings and when she told me they were from TK Maxx, we were straight in the car for me to get a pair. As it turned out, I got four pairs, and a bracelet. Who knew? I’ve never even looked at TK Maxx jewellery before.
This is one of the pairs – the selection is much better in stores, but these are £12.99 HERE. Usually, I can’t wear anything but gold (expensive allergy) but these are absolutely fine – in fact, so far, they all are. I’m a bit of a hoop fan but I’ve seen some drop ear-rings that I like the look of too and I cannot remember the last time I bought a pair of those.
The other things that turned my head are the candles – I really couldn’t leave this sitting on the shelf and it’s every bit as lovely as I’d hoped. I love citrus fragrances and this is a nice, gentle orange. DW Candles is a US brand and not one I’d come across before but looking at their website, RRP is approx $14.99 and this was £5.99. As with the jewels, the selection in stores is much, much better, but there are a couple on the website from this brand as well as the selection below that I saw and sniffed in store, but are available on line if you’re not near a TK Maxx or Home Sense.

I very nearly bought this instead – Sand & Fog Mandarin Grapefruit, another US brand that retails (this size) for around $28 – this is £12.99 HERE. There are a few on line options from this brand including French Lavender and Vanilla Sandalwood.
These Castelbel candles retail for £29.99 and this is – yes you guessed it – £12.99 again HERE! I’m not really a fan of sage – it’s too foodie for me but if you like a herbal citrus, it’s going to be right up your street. There’s a Fig & Pear option, too.
Again, from DW (and I didn’t see this in store) for £10 is this violet candle. I love a violet scent and it’s really unusual to come across it in candle form. It’s £10 HERE. There are a plenty of options from this brand, including Pink Rose, Sea Salt and Vanilla (that’s not all one candle!). It just seems like it’s a good time to stock up on candles – there’s a bit of autumn in the air (I read in the paper that we are two weeks ahead of schedule autumn-wise) … I don’t know about you, but I’ve stopped craving salads and am looking hard at jacket potatoes!

I love rifling through the candles at TK Maxx. There are always some delicious scents at fantastic prices, but equally there are some absolute honkers lurking in there so you do need to have a good sniff to check what you’re buying. I wonder if they’ll be affected by the current Covid-related restrictions? I’ve pretty much stopped picking things up in shops now, to avoid touching anything uneccessarily.
Yes it’s funny you mention picking things up – I did pick up one or two but had sanitised both before and after – our TK Maxx is good in that it has security making sure that people sanitize as they enter and it was the same at my sister’s local.
