Free Candles for Me!!!

**AmyBoz** · 12-13-2008, 11:31 PM

So, I love candles. I love them, I love them, I love them. However, I don't buy as many as I would like because they can certainly be expensive. A friend of mine just recently started selling PartyLite candles and I hosted a party for her at my home tonight. When you host a party, you earn hostess credit and can get free candles up to a certain percent of what the people at your party ordered.

Are you ready? Just for having the party, because the people I invited ordered so much, I earned $358 in free PartyLite products! There are one or two actual pretty products that I am going to get, but for the rest, I am going to just stock up on the yummy smelling votives that I love to use all year long. If you aren't familiar with the products, you can check out the website at www.partylite.com (Not a plug, as I'm not a salesperson)

It may not have been a frugal party for my guests, but it certainly was for me! I appreciate them ordering and I'm also pleased that I was able to help my friend out with her new business.

Wow, go you! $358 in Partylite is awesome. I'm green with envy, but more happy for ya!

Enjoy

Impressive sales figure, especially in this economy. Do you know if your guests were buying gifts?

I hosted a party a few years ago, and I still have votive candles in my cabinet. I love them! Unfortunately, many of my friends don't really buy too much stuff or I would do another one. I have a friend that sells it.

That's a great party.
I used to work at the Partylite main office. I worked there for a couple of years but left to raise my oldest.
There products are very nice but a little pricey for me. I used to get alot of free products when I work there.

I really like Partylite candles, but as a previous poster noted, they ain't cheap. Hosting a party is indeed the best way to get candles...same as hosting a Pampered Chef or Silpada party.

Michelle,
I think they were buying just for themselves...no one mentioned any gifts. Although, in addition to my hostess credit, I got a free gift for hosting, and I'm giving it to my mom for Christmas, as it's a cute Christmas tree candle holder. I generally try to buy non-seasonal items so I can use them year round.

WTG Amy. I used to sell Home Interiors and it was always a great deal for the hostesses.

I just visited our little gift shop here in town that is closing down (for reasons other than the economy) and I bought several candles at 60% off. I'm candle happy too but not as much as you

Enjoy your good smellin' candles.

Wow, that is quite a haul! Sounds like a great time to get some nice things for yourself and pick up some gifts, too! Enjoy!

What a great sale Amy. Congratulations and enjoy those candles.
