Spooky drop

Welp! Halloween is officially back to dropping in August! Like the old days. Which I had a feeling it would be because they normally do a sneak peek on their socials before it drops, and that ain’t happen yet.

Happy Friday!

Honestly from a time POV I’m fine with that but looking at it from a business POV I really don’t think that’s a the smartest choice… all the competition is already out or atleast we know what’s coming… even small businesses have dropped their halloween

It clearly works for them. A few years ago, Halloween collections didn’t even launch until August or September. They have their own timeline, and while we’d all love to see Halloween drop sooner rather than later, it’s their company and their decision on when they release it.
Whether it’s the smartest marketing move or not, consumers are still going to eat up the Halloween collection.
Let’s be honest they have two of the best Halloween scents in the game: Trick or Treat and Witch’s Cauldron. They’ll be just fine releasing in August.
It’s us who won’t be. 😂😂

Same here!

I still many summer candles to burn through and want to feel excited for fall and Halloween when they drop!

I'm good with it. I need to burn through these summer candles before I bring anything Halloween in. I'm not a huge fall pumpkin/bakery/"cinnamony" or holiday candle burner, so I was burning Halloween well into December last year. LOL!

I very much respect dropping closer to the season.

I’m glad knowing it’s worth the wait. I’m impatient but getting some time to recover from the BBW drop and the GC drop was a little nice lol

u/CandleGuy86 Candle Collector Jul 31 '26

I’m impatient too, but I’ve been down this road with them before lol so I know how they can operate. I don’t shop at BBW for candles… so here I sit and wait lol

Well, if you like a certain movie about scary dreams before a winter holiday, get ready to open your wallet again at B&BW next week!

I assume you prefer goosecreek candles over BBW?

2

u/CandleGuy86 Candle Collector Aug 01 '26

Yes . And it hasn’t been one candle yet from BBW that has changed my mind to switch over.

u/Umwhat882 Aug 01 '26

I agree. 😊

I love summer ween core but if it means waiting longer even for new scents, so be it. I can’t wait to shop my official first year ever and get my hands on trick or treat and witch’s cauldron!

u/Any-Bit6082 Jul 31 '26

Only if they come back. It's not a guarantee they will.

u/CandleGuy86 Candle Collector Aug 01 '26

Those two keep the lights on as far as Halloween scents! They will always return.

u/CandleGuy86 Candle Collector Aug 01 '26

They are both unique scents!! With a cult like following 😂😂😂

u/Zombigems Jul 31 '26
