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!

Customer reviews

A Trader Joe's fan account on Instagram, @TraderJoesObsessed, posted a video showing their followers what the candles look like, and fans took to the comment section to share their own reviews of the candle set. "This set was a hit last year as a gift!" one user wrote. "Had to repurchase, but they sell out very fast!"

"I bought one and I love it!" another user wrote.

"Is it bad that I opened them all at once?" a third user joked. "I put one in each room of my house so it's like I'm in a different season each time I move to a different room."

"These are so fun!" added another fan. "Can't wait to purchase!"

A Reddit thread also dedicated to the candles has fans raving about the set. "What a great idea!" one person commented.

"An awesome, affordable gift that doesn't seem cheap," another user wrote. "I feel great gifting these to my nieces!"

"I gave these as gifts last year and they were a huge hit!" a third person added. "Don't know how I'm going to top that..."
