Fun fact: I am obsessed with candles. I just went to Target today to see what new arrivals had landed at my local store, and learned that the store and website are having an epic “buy 1, get 1 50% off” sale on the majority of candles, excluding Hearth and Hand and clearance. There is no better time to stock up on all your favorite items and so many fun seasonal finds, including candles that double as decor. Here are the 7 best candles to buy at Target’s huge BOGO sale this week, before the sale ends September 1.

So many Yankee Candles are on sale, including many scents in the 20oz Signature Large Tumbler Candle, normally $21.49. Christmas Cookie, Spiced Pumpkin, Pink Pumpkin, and the fan favorite, Vanilla Crème Brûlée, are all available. “Vanilla Crème Brûlée is my favorite candle (of ANY brand). Even if you’re not a huge fan of vanilla, this one might change your mind. It’s warm, creamy, and very smooth. Love it,” one shopper writes.

If you are searching for a spa-like candle, the Glass Jar Candle candle collection from Threshold will transport you into a zen zone, including Coconut Water + Orchid. These scents come in 5.5 to 24-ounce jars. “Makes my house smell so relaxing,” writes a shopper. “This is a subtle scent that so far hasn’t bothered any of my family that are sensitive to overpowered candles, even burning more than one for the whole day.”

In my opinion Threshold Studio McGee Santal + Ginger is one of the best candles at Target. I love the moody scent, which is a perfect dupe for Le Labo Santal 26. “Best smelling candle I have bought in a long time! The smell isn’t overpowering but you can definitely smell it! I really hope Target keeps this scent around as a staple,” one shopper agrees.

I bought two of the new 2 Wick 18oz Skull Shaped Filled Red Wax Candle Bourbon Casket from Threshold candles. Not only are they amazing Halloween decorations that look super classy and expensive, but the candle smells insanely good. One shopper calls it “elegant spookiness” in a 5-star review. “I don’t usually do candles. But I do love Halloween, so this was worth picking up. It is fairly heavy and very sturdy and beautiful color. The candle smells good. The wicks are well spaced. I’ll use the skull even after the wax burns away.”

6
These Feminine Taper Candles

These are my absolute favorite candles to add to my vintage candle sticks. They also make excellent gifts. So unique and delicate. I just love them!” writes a shopper.

I also fell in love with another seasonal candle that doubles as decor, the Lidded Pomegranate Heart Candle Poisoned Pomegranate fromThreshold. It feels very elegant but still Halloweenish, like it is a poisoned apple. It also smells really amazing, similar to a Voluspa I used to buy.
