Voluspa is known for displaying its candles in decorative tins and ornate glass jars. But for those candle shopping on a budget, Voluspa’s price point may be out of reach. Luckily, Dollar Tree shoppers have found Voluspa dupes in both tins and glass jars that go for just $3 apiece. That’s $38 cheaper than on Amazon.

The three-wick candles come in a range of cozy scents, including Mulled Wine, Sunburst Mandarin, Cinnamon Spice, and Vanilla Cashmere.

“I never knew Dollar Tree to come out with a luxury candle line, but they’re definitely serving,” said TikTok user @jewels_from_jewels in a shopping haul clip. “They look so cute…get into these scents because sincerely Dollar Tree is stepping it up and they’re only $3!”
