Colonial Candle :: Coupon and Giveaway

Not to brag, but I have an amazing sense of smell. I've never really put it to good use, but I'd probably make a great parfum tester or maybe a detective. When I was little my mom always asked me to smell the milk to see if it was bad, but other than that I really haven't used my talent.

Henry has inherited my hyper-sensitivity and we often commiserate over strange smells that no one else seems to pick up on. And together we celebrate the good smells in life.

So I had him help me test all the wonderful candles that Colonial Candle company sent me to review. My house smelled divine for two weeks while we burned candles smelling of the beach, leather and Tibetan Sandalwood.


The 2-Wick Jar comes with a convenient top.


Our favorite is the Go Green candle in Clean, which is made from recycled wax in recycled glass. It smelled fresh and light, a perfect summer scent. I also loved Platinum Pearl, which has a sort of perfumy, boudoir smell of cinnamon, pink pepper, patchouli, cedarwood and vanilla. It's intoxicating and sexy.

Colonial Candle is offering BlahBlahBabycakes readers
$10 off any order of $30 or more.

Coupon Code: BLAH10
Good through August 31, 2009


I'm also giving away this adorable sock monkey courtesy of Colonial Candle. Isn't he cute? Reminiscent of the sock monkeys popular during The Great Depression, Genuine Sock Monkeez encourage imaginative play.

Comment below and tell me what your favorite scent is and you'll automatically be entered to win.



Jasper is 14" tall and made of acrylic yarn.
Head, hands & feet have magnets, so they stick
to all things metal or each other!
