Not being rude at all, you objected to the thread. I’m really not bothered who replies. I can’t believe anybody would genuinely offended about comments made about their choice of air freshener. Wish my life was that simple

I loved mine last year, think there were 2 tealights that I wasnt keen on but I just put them in our outside lantern to burn.
I definitely preferred it to the Yankee candle one tbh.

Hello! Im with you! I bought one of these on Sunday as I always get my elderly uncle and aunt in law an advent calendar. They used to share a chocolate one but health dictates they cant now. Neither they or I see a problem with this, just because its not a "trendy" brand, costing a fortune for doing the same job doesn't mean its a bad thing. Nothing wrong with having a choice to suit everyone's taste and pocket.

Blimey some over-reactions on here!
I think it's a question of perspective, to me buying a Yankee candle advent calender is a nice gift whereas an Airwick one seems to be vaguely insulting. And I'm not snobby about Airwick blocks because I love the smell of lily of the valley.

Having seen the post above I don't think an elderly couple would be insulted by Airwick, quite the contrary. I would worry about them remembering to blow out candles tho which is why I tend to use melts or oils now. The times I've got up in middle of the night to check, and I always have!

So glad it's not just me who wakes up thinking did I blow candle out...

My how a thread that was clearly a bit of a joke post has turned on its head 😳

I have no taste. I love all advent calendars. Last year we had wine, beer, cheese, chocolate, candles, jewellery & Lego calendars & we’re all adults! Lol.
We’re trying to cut down this year so I’ve only bought the Lego HP so far.

Anyway, just wanted to say, B&M always have a really varied/sometimes strange selection of calendars including candles for the common people (I’m one - lol). My favourite weirdo this year though is the Chilli Sauce:

Also, they usually have the lowest priced Lego calendars.

My OH would detest the chilli sauce one... Guess what I'm buying him 🌶️😂😂😂... Maybe they should put the airwick one next to the chilli sauce one merchandising wise, the smells might compliment each other when the thunder starts

Well I’ve bought one this year to try as a change from Yankee candle, I’m not bothered if I’m not keen when I light them cos it didn’t cost too much...
I also confess to buying the Christmas scents in the Airwick freshmatic cans, I bought them last year and DH liked them... (only got a bungalow so one in hall and one in living room)... so I’ll be buying them again...
Would I be offended if someone bought me one as a gift... hell no, a gift is a gift and I fall into the OAP category... so does that class me as not so fussy?

Thing is colette once you pop open the first door you won't be able to stop and will all be open by the 2nd of December... Pringles are lethal and should come with a health warning 😂😂

I love Christmas's scents, I'm using the airwick pure mulled wine at minute that's nice and masks the smell of the doggos... Wouldn't want that as a pressie though if I'm honest 😉, but I have received other smellies as Xmas gifts that did smell worse than airfreshner 😂
