I'm still not over the holiday daze. But I suspect it's more due to the fact that I'm still aglow in the SPICED APPLE PIE scented atmosphere created by lighting Candles by Victoria! Victoria has been making her own high-quality candles ever since 1999 when she got disillusioned with even upper end candle companies whose products promised much but delivered less.In Victoria's own words:
And it shows - I can personally vouch for that! Victoria kindly sent me a Spiced Apple Pie candle to try out that has filled my home with a warm fragrance that's reminiscent of the holidays and has created an atmosphere that's at once intriguing, interesting and irresistible."Candles by Victoria is my dream and my passion, I put my entire heart and soul into this business. I make each and every candle by hand in my store. I personally pour each candle, advertise the business, create and maintain the entire website, including 99% of all the graphics you see on it.
Candles by Victoria is my full time job, and my #1 priority is producing a high quality, 100% handmade candle that burns and smells amazing! Customer service is very important to me as well and we will go beyond the normal call of duty to make sure EVERY customer is satisfied with their order and the service they receive.
The biggest and most important thing is that I LOVE what I do and I think that shows in every candle that I make."
But that's not all you can buy at Candles by Victoria! You can also try out their Tarts & Tart Melters, Electric Candle and Tart warmer in one (the kind that plugs into the outlet, releasing a pleasing scent all day long), votives, tea lights, reed diffusers, essential oils, Aroma buds, and many others, all in a variety of choices and fragrances. If you're dazed by their 502 scent choices - that's right, 502!! - then just Buy Scent Samples and discover your personal favorite.
But if you're the kind of person who likes surprises, don't forget to try out their SURPRISE CANDLES which contain 5 or more fragrance and come unmarked to the customer's surprise and delight. No wonder they're a best-seller! You can also create your own signature scents!I must say browsing the candles at Candles by Victoria gave me serious candle envy, particularly the ones that looked good enough to eat (note - they're not edible, they just look like it!).

I have been a customer of Candles by Victoria for years and her candles are the BEST! With more than 500 scents, there is something to please every nose. My favorites are the Bakery Scents, with my very favorite Bakery Scent being Banana Nut Bread. Your entire house will smell like you have a loaf of banana nut bread baking in your oven! There is never a dull moment on her website as she is always creating something new. When you purchase her candles, you will not be disappointed!

Hi, I just love Victorias Candles. I recently purchased the Create A Scent 16 oz. Candle and the possibilities are endless with what you can create for yourself! With over 500 scents to choose from Wow need I say more! Just recently she added the Comfort Candle Line of which Im a big fan. I have tried 3 of the creations of art and they are to die for. Victoria is truely very talented and I love her candles!

I have been a customer of Candles by Victoria for a number of years now. I have never been disappointed with any candle or scent shot that I received. Right now my favorite is the cinnamon gingerbread latte. You cant go wrong with her products. They are absolutely awesome!!!

I've been a CBV fan for several years now. All Victoria's scents that I have tried are simpley incredible. She also takes extra time with the packaging. I've never recieved a damaged candle. When my order arrives on my doorstep, I have to open it immediently due to all the good smells coming from the box!

Sorry, my email addy is wrong in the above post. It is meowz68@yahoo.com. Thank you.
I have been a customer of Candles by Victoria for just a short time and I am already hooked. The candles that I have ordered already are fantastic. Right now I have Chocolate Fudge Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Surprise burning and it is FANTASTIC!! This one is a must try for everyone

I just recently discovered Candles by Victoria and fell in love with my first order. Every scent that I ordered smelled awesome, not a bad one in the bunch...I especially like the watermelon fragrance. It smells like the actual thing. The customer service is first class as well. The variety of fragrances is wonderful...over 500 to chose from. Try CBV and I bet you'll be a repeat customer just like me! gbcb AT mchsi.com
Oh wow...I can't pick *one* particular indispensable item from CBV because I can think of a few. I searched high and low for a good, strong true lemon scent, and finally found it in her handmade candles: Lovin' Lemon. I loved it so much I got the melts, a jar candle, wax crumbles AND the refresher oil. It's that good.
I've not had a dud from her lineup yet. We're remodeling and with all the open windows and fans, burning candles wasn't possible this summer. I am a candle addict so this was a problem. I was introduced to tart melts, and am working my way through CBV's 502 scents, LOL! My faves so far are Mocha, Cappucino Hazelnut, Lovin' Lemon and her cute chocolate covered cherries melts. Oh - and her cinnamon buns in the little iron skillets are super cute!!

I am a repeat customer of Candles By Victoria. Thats because shes makes the candles around. The scents are right on, and you could not ask for better service. I have bought a tart melter,and more candles and scent shots than I could count. I have not bought a scent yet that I didn't absolutely love.chilli50@ymail.com
I'm really interested in the cinnamon raisin bread and the grapefruit heart tarts. I have a cute little tart warmer that I haven't used in a while so it would be fun to get some sweet scents going again!

I have been a customer of Candles By Victoria for several years.
With more than 500 scents everyone is sure to find a few hundred that they will love.
Right now my favorite is Coconut Praline---but I am sure that will be changing soon as Fall is almost here and I will be ordering the Fall/Winter scents.
Her customer service is the best--and when you see her work you will just know that Victoria pours her heart and soul into all her creations.
Her new line of candles called Comfort Candles are a work of art.
She not only has a great Web site for her products--but her candle blog The Pouring Pot is so much fun. We all have a great time getting to know each other.
Come join us--you will not be sorry.

I love yummy smelling candles. We have one in our living room now (from IKEA) that's 'chocolate cake'. I like Victoria's carrot cake or baked apple strudle scents. Sound delicious!! The idea of smelling up the house with holiday pies makes me happy. Thanks. laurachilton {at} hotmail {dot} com
I would love to try the Banana Cream Pie Scent. I love anything Banana Scented. Great giveaway, thanks! hellomary018 at yahoo dot com

WOW! They are literally too many to choose from! But I did see a few that I would love to have: the Country Footed Jar Candle and the Mustard Jar Candle (too many scents to pick just one!) and the Maple Butter Pumpkin Frap would be perfect for the upcoming Autumn/Thanksgiving season.
Now I'm hungry and heading for the kitchen to see what I can find and then back to the CBV site for more delicious browsing!
Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

I love candles, especially ones that smell like food. That way I can pretend to be Betty Crocker :P I can cook but I don't get a chance to as much as I like to. Nothing smells better than freshly baked bread, muffins, etc. So banana nut bread would be perfect! Also, Orange Chiffon cake, Baked apple streudel, and sugar cookies! There are tons of choices that way I can mix it up!

I absolutely love CBV candles! Those new comfort candles look so darn good! I have been burning her candles and melting her tarts for years now. Some of my favorites are Jasmine, Unwind, Lemon Lime Fizz, Spiced Vanilla... just to name a few! If you try CBV, you will never go back to any other brand!

Wow I have never even heard of Candles by Victoria. I am so excited to see such a huge variety of scents. I would have to say that I could probably get every single one of the bakery fragrances. I also liked the Coffee Pot Electric Tart Warmer and the Mustard Jar Candle. I'm so in the mood for candles this time of year. Thanks for the great website.

I have been a customer of Candles by Victoria for years. I believe her candles are the BEST ones ever made. I have burned her candles from beginning to end and the smell never changes.I love all her house blends as well as her bakery scents. I can't say I truly have a favorite because when I believe I have chosen a favorite she comes up with a new scent and then I have to say that is one of my favorites.
I think Victoria's Candles site is delightful! I have looked at her site many times. The 9oz. country jar is my favorite. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks, Cindi

I like the Mustard Jar Candle in Coco Lime Cooler or Exotic Coconut!
I like the vanilla sandlewood or maybe the very cherry vanilla. Oh I just don't know there are just so many too choose from. They all sound fantastic.

I love the CANDLES BY VICTORIA FRAGRANCE LAMPS!
websurfergirl19 AT hotmail DOT com
Can't go wrong with candles. Especially scented ones. With winter coming and time indoors fast approaching I think I'd try the Winter Snowflake scent myself. :)
Okay, not only do I want to run right and buy up every baked good known to man, but now I want every candle too. Darn you, Candles by Victoria with your incredible candle selection. Darn you. LOL
Seriously, the candles offered there are gorgeous, and I don't think I've even seen such an extenstive and "scentsational" (haha) scent list. Wow!
If I could buy any one item from CBV I'd definitely go for the mini-bread pan candles. I'd buy one for my mum and step-dad, and I think I'd have to go with the County Fair Funnel Cake scent. Mmm Dang it, I'm hungry now. :( :P

Wow! That are sure a lot of scent options! I love Bakery scents - there are so many great ones it is hard to choose! Caramel Cafe' and Chocolate Chip Cookie sound excellent!

This was a super hard decision for me. I've bookmarked the site though and if I don't win, I may just head over and try them out anyways.

Butter Rum Crunch sounds heavenly!
kelli at pfrog dot net
It's hard to pick a favorite! I think I'd choose the honeysuckle, or perhaps one of the yummy bakery ones, like cinnamon raisin bread...
The sugar shaker candles are too cute. They'd be unique gifts.
wow - after reading all the great testimonials, I really think I will place an order! I really want to try about 10 different scents, and that's just from the few that I looked at. I think the fact that she has one based on my most favorite perfume (white shoulders) is incredible. the other one that I really want to try is "cool nights". That sounds neat. Great giveaway - thanks for offering it!

ARE YOU KIDDING??? Anyone who even remotely likes candles loves Candles by Victoria!!! I have given away as many as I've burned (almost!) and each person that receives one is as nuts over them as I am! I am the Bakery Scent Feind - I love the line of Comfort Candles, can't wait to actually BURN one!!! I have many favorites... Orange Vanilla, Orange Clove, Buttercrunch Pecan, Hot Chocolate Caramel, Pecan Pie, Peach Ambrosia (smells almost identical to my grandmother's Peach Cobbler!)..... too many to list... but head over to CandlesbyVictoria... you won't be disappointed!
Oh - btw - I love her candles SO MUCH, that I've started selling them here at home, too! They're a definite HIT!!! Time to make another order, too.
