Over the past few years, I’ve received the 22 oz. Mama jars and the 34 oz. Papa jars as gifts and I’ve also purchased them at a local store. I love the look of these candles. The primitive black lid with a homespun ribbon and tag is darling, but my favorite is the classic copper lid without ribbon or tag. That copper lid is so pretty! I also like the fact that there’s no label on the glass so you can enjoy the flame to the fullest. I’ve only tried two scents, Maple Syrup Pancakes and Juicy Apple. If you like pancakes lavishly drenched in maple syrup, you’ll love Maple Syrup Pancakes! It is so authentic and really strong. I had to put it in the back room on occasion and simply let the scent waft into the main living area because it was nearly overpowering. So be forewarned, if you like a light background scent, Maple Syrup Pancakes may not be for you. I just loved it! Juicy Apple has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It’s the company’s number one seller and is probably the reason why I’ve only tried two scents so far. I keep buying Juicy Apple over and over again! This isn’t a “fresh picked off the tree” apple. There’s a bit of spice and a touch of peach, but it’s definitely not too spicy, at least to my nose. The star of this show is authentic, delicious apple and boy, is it terrific! My Keeper of the Light candles have always burned beautifully. No tunneling, no babysitting of wicks if they’re kept trimmed. I love these candles and there are definitely more in my future!

I just tried one of their Sugar Cookie scented votives the other day. I was very impressed! The scent was very awesome and strong...my room smelled like I was baking sugar cookies! This candle makes me hungry! The scent is just so authentic and has that "downhome" feel to it. When I searched for the web site for A Cheerful Giver, I noticed they are the makers of "Keepers of the Light" jar candles. I feel like I've heard of that before. Has anyone tried them? I just want to find out what the whole deal is with their Keepers of the Light candles. If you have any info on them, send me an email by clicking the Contact link at the bottom of this page. Anyway, I'm normally not very impressed with the majority of votives out there, but this votive seems to be among the stronger ones on the market. I have no idea if their other scents are the same way or not...just going by the Sugar Cookie scent I tried. Carolyn :-)

I like these candles pretty much~some of the scents are not as strong. My favorite in these candles, are the Banana Nut Bread, Sugar Cookie, and they have a Hazelnut type that i like. I think they are a little overpriced, unless you can find them on sale. Jars are cute!!

I actually liked them better before they switched to soy. My old fav was Black Cherry, I tried Apple Delight this time. Not sure if I was slightly dissapointed due to the fact that they are now soy? But overall they are pretty nice candles.
