Box Thoughts; For the price I paid, this came nicely packaged, I liked how each bag was wrapped in green bags vs wrapped. Each was tagged with the number. I do wish the labels themselves had the number on it. That would have made it easier to log everything.


Most days had a large enough tart to melt fully in a regular warmer. Some days were smaller but the scents themselves were mixed up between minty, bakery, woodsy and Christmas. It was a great mix.


This vendor works well in my house and for the price point on this box I would consider getting it again next year.
