How many candles do you have in your home?
Kristi asked:
I am a candle distributor and was just curious about how many candles you have in your home. They say 8-10 people use candles.

At least 25.
We have candles for decoration, which I never burn,(5, maybe) and some for power outages. People often forget that candles are a good way to burn down your house - keep them away from curtains, in particular, and up away from anywhere a child could touch or knock over a burning flame (pets, too!).
Tons, but I sell Partylite. I was a candle addict prior to that. I have pillars, 3 wicks, tealights, votives, you name it.
I have none, what a stupid fire hazard.
Never enough, in this case more is definitely better!!
my wife says about 50, 11 of which are burned at one time or another
I couldn’t even give you a number. I have lots.
I have 3 or 4 decorator candles but buy 100 tea lights at a time and burn them at least 5 days a week.
I am always buying them so I have over 20 right now. I sometimes burn one in each room at the same time. I love them. Even in the bathroom.
4. I don’t buy more than I burn at a time.
I also have one fragrance lamp, which I love!
Probably about 40. Some I burn, some I just keep out. Those people who are worried about fires should know that there are SAFE ways to surn candles. Jars are the safest; the flame is contained.
I would say I have 4-5 candles that I actually burn and 4-5 that I never burn, just for looks.
Two for decoration. About a dozen additional candlesticks in the drawers to use when the power goes out.
I am a candler also, So I think I have a few more candles than the average person does in there home LOL. But I did a poll recently on the same subject and most people stated they usually have one candle per room of there home.
Hope this helps you out !
