Trader Joe’s has the best seasonal items—from tasty freezer meals to delicious snacks and affordable gifts to advent calendars, no other grocery store does the holidays like Trader Joe’s. Though they have a few different advent calendars, including the Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar, the Advent Calendar for Dogs, and the 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar, our current favorite is the 12 Days of Scented Candles!
12 Days of Scented Candles at Trader Joe's
Aptly named, the advent calendar has 12 different mini scented candles—one to open on each of the 12 days of Christmas. The scents, some of which are seasonally available during other times of the year, are: Rhubarb, Warm Vanilla, Lilac, Eucalyptus, Gardenia, Spiced Apple, White Tea, Persimmon, Lavender, Snow Day, Sandalwood, and Peach.
According to the Trader Joe's website, the candles are "made with a natural soy wax blend and lead-free cotton wicks, and they come in attractive, lidded tins." Each scent has it's own color—Snow Day is a beautiful light blue, Rhubarb is a bright pink—so they even look nice in your home. Perfect for any candle lover or as a gift to yourself, these 12 mini candles cost $29.99, and sell out quick! Get your hands on them while you can!
