Glade Holiday Collection Review and Giveaway

As I have mentioned before, I love candles. I love the ambiance that they create. I love the aroma of the candle and it just provides warmth and atmosphere. So when I had the opportunity to review two of the new Glade Holiday Candles I was really excited. I really like Glade products and I have many of them in my home. Glade of course is an air freshener company that makes candles, air fresheners and carpet deodorizers which I call Carpet Sprinkles. Glade has many different products and scents. One of my family’s Christmas traditions is buying a candle that smells like a Christmas tree. I love that tradition but there are many other holiday scents of candles I like as well.

Glade has different types of candles. The normal candles in a glass candle holder, the candles in the tins and the Scented Oil Candles. I think that the Scented Oil Candles are cool because when they are done they go out. You can re use the same base over and over with different scents too. I love the Glade commercials. My favorite one is the one where the lady tries to convince her friends that her candle is a boutique candle from France and the label is stuck to the back of her dress. One of her friends says what you have never heard of Gladay. I think the commercials are so funny.

I had the opportunity to try the Bayberry Spice Holiday candle and the Apple Cinnamon scented oil candle. The Bayberry Spice candle is in a beautiful glass holder that is perfect for my holiday décor. It smells wonderful. It is actually lit right now. I often use candles as decorations when they are not lit. It is my favorite color too! It is a strong scent but not over powering. I have noticed that some candles are really over powering or you have to almost burn your nose to smell anything. The Bayberry Spice has a spicy scent that reminds me of Christmases in the past. The Apple Cinnamon Scented Oil candle is great as well. My favorite candle scent is apple. I love the smell of cinnamon too. It reminds me of apple crisp when I smell it. It is warm and inviting and a sweet yet spicy aroma.

The great thing about Glade candles are they are inexpensive. There is usually coupons in the Sunday paper to help you save even more. You can afford to put a Glade candle in every room. You can even afford to burn them all day. I like those expensive candles that you get at candle stores but since they are so expensive I can only get one at a time. I am much more careful about burning them too. Glade candles smell great and are very affordable for all of your candle needs.

Glade Sense and Spray Review

I have mentioned before that my son is now in a toddler bed and has free reign of his room. I took out his dresser for the time being because he would pull everything out and I had major trouble trying to get his dresser anchored. He used to have a Glade Light Show air freshener in his room. Now that I don’t have a place to set up an air freshener that plugs in, I needed something else. It was really hard to find something that didn’t have to be plugged in. The only thing I could find is those gel air fresheners in the cone shape. They are not my favorite thing to use. I love Glade. So when I had the opportunity to review the Sense and Spray I was excited. Glade is a brand that I have trusted for years.

The Sense and Spray is an automatic air freshener and odor eliminator that has a motion sensor and goes off every 30 minutes and it won’t go off again unless you push the boost button. It has a sensor up to five feet. That way you aren’t freshening a room with no one in it and you aren’t wasting the product.

I wasn’t sure where I was going to put the Glade Sense and Spray when I knew it was on the way. I didn’t decide until it was in my hands and I was looking at the package. It is battery operated! That means I can put it in my son’s room. First I thought about the closet and then I realized that it wouldn’t be a good spot. So I ended up putting it on the shelf on the wall high enough that my son couldn’t reach it. The set up was a breeze. It didn’t take long at all.

I tried the Clean Spring fragrance. It smelled really good. The Glade Sense and Spray gives off the right amount of scent each time. No more using a spray and using so much that you end up tasting it when you breathe. I am sure you all know what I mean. It works to get rid of any odors in the room. I was really pleased with the ease and the scent. I don’t have to worry about doing anything or worry about my son getting in to it.

It is pretty loud though when it sprays. The first few days, my son would say “Yikes” every time it would go off. I wish it was quieter. Now it has become something he likes. He will say “Do Yikes” and laugh. The sound has startled me some too. It kinda catches you off guard. I have jumped a few times myself. Other than the noise I really like the Glade Sense and Spray. The batteries are brilliant.
It is the right solution to my odor eliminator problem.

You can find the Glade Sense and Spray at stores near you and it comes in some of the popular Glade scents. There are also refills for the system so you can change up the scents.

Thank you to Glade for sending me a complimentary Sense and Spray to try out and enjoy.
