With the polar vortex sweeping across the country, millions of people are wisely choosing to stay indoors (and help those less fortunate find warm shelter). And with those frigid temps often comes an intense urge to sit on your couch, snuggle up in your softest blanket, and light a candle that fills your mind with images of not icicles and frostbite, but warm bakeries, island vacations, and fields of flowers.
So rather smartly, Bath & Body Works has just launched a jumbo jumbo candle sale, with all 75+ of its 3-wick candles now $10 off — meaning they’re all less than $15. Ahead of yet another frigid weekend and probably months of freezing weather to come (*sob*), now’s the perfect time to grab a few discounted jars while you can, especially because the sale is for a limited time only.
Ahead, we picked out some of our favorites, many of which would also make fantastic Valentine’s Day gifts. *Hint hint*

As part of the store’s new Valentine’s Day lineup, this candle’s message is pretty clear. And with a scent that mixes lilac, freesia, and hyacinth, you’ll want this one burning long after February.
Bath & Body Works Flower Shop 3-Wick Candle, $14.5, available at Bath & Body Works
The problem with many food-scented candles is that, about an hour after lighting them, you can’t help but crave the exact food it’s designed to evoke. Which means you might need to run out for warm bread after you smell this intoxicating (but not too sweet) bakery-inspired scent.
Bath & Body Works French Baguette 3-Wick Candle, $14.5, available at Bath & Body Works
With notes like oak, teakwood, and mahogany, light this candle up and be transported from your cramped apartment to a cozy cabin in the woods.

If you’re looking for a lovey-dovey V-Day gift that could more discreetly sit on someone’s bedside table, there’s this candle with an aroma that combines two of the best smells on earth: rose and vanilla.

After braving any sort of extreme chill, you want to do one thing: relax. This candle can ease you into that process rather quickly, with lavender, cedarwood, and essential oils meant to help you forget the fact that it’s now negative degrees outside.

We loved this candle at first sight with its chic two-toned packaging, and loved it even more when we opened up the top, which revealed a refreshing scent of bergamot, white tea, and sage.

On any given day, even when it’s not cold as hell outside, wouldn’t you rather be in the French countryside? We certainly would, which is probably why we love this candle so much, which combines the scent of lavender, linen, and somehow "fresh air breeze" into an elegant frosted lavender tub.
