I would love to try some votives. I found a company called 5b but their votives are $2.95 a piece,are you kidding me? Has anyone tried them? And do they ever have sales?

I am looking for companies where I can buy in quanities of 1 each and not a dozen all in the same scent.

This thread is not specific to vendors who sell individual votives, but you may find it helpful anyway:

You might check in your area if there is anywhere that sells the Swan Creek Votives. There are a few stores in my area that carry the votives and you can buy them separately. They are usually 1.99 ea at the stores. You can call Swan Creek's 800 number and they will be able to tell you if there is anywhere to purchase them in your area

I second the Vanilla Pound Cake. Autumn Spice was great too.

Here's the link for the Scentsible Scents candles. Their votives are larger than standard 2 oz size. Probably 3 oz size. I love them :)

House of Soy sells single votives, too. I've only tried a few, but have liked them all.

Another good one that I love is Tyler. I don't know if you have to buy in numbers. I have a little gift shop in our town where I buy mine and they sell for $2.00 each. They burn very well and have a decent throw.

Illume sale section has some 6pack votives on sale plus extra 30%off code FRENZY. It works out to $1.35 per votive.

I have been using Kringle votives. I really like their scents and the throw on them is good for a votive.

Katz - I'm pretty much a bakery gal [smilie=th_pardon] , so haven't tried many in those categories. I've tried their tarts in Fireside Inn and Splinters & Rags and they were very good - I think you'd like em. I also liked Nutmeg if U like spice scents. I was very happy with the votives I've tried from HOS. [smilie=th_i-m_so_happy] It depends a lot on the scents, KWIM? I haven't tried a lot of votives, but liked these better than YC or Haley's. I've only tried 1 of the Scentsible Scents votives, so far, so, the juries still out there. HOS has a kazillion scents available, so, if one doesn't show up on the drop down when ordering (they're limited by the web host)just put it in the 'special comments' box when checking out. Let us know if you try any! [smilie=yes]
