I cant quite see the correlation between a turtle and Yankee Candle seems very random , however if they did a dog or cat one I mayb tempted lol

Just recently become YC fan but will sit this one out! Not into sentimental animal/cute kids type of things anyway.

Maybe inspired by Barbados' Turtle Beach. I like it.

That poor turtle needs to see a vet! He'd never survive that amount of shell damage!

The candle doesn't enhance the turtle, nor the turtle the candle; it just looks weird to me.

The turtle jar holder looks really odd to me & definitely isn't something I would buy. I agree it just looks like tat. I might be able to get on board with the sea one. However not at £5.95 and £4.95 postage.

Why am I thinking of that scene in Breaking Bad. :mysmilie_466:

This is grotesque and I would never consider buying something like this. I am not a tortoise or turtle collector, but I do have one of each.

The tortoise wandered into the garden one day and started eating the dog food. They are rare, but live wild here. My turtle I found in the poubelle (rubbish bin) in a cardboard box, just thrown away like an unwanted toy. I have no idea how long she had been there, but she was still alive - they can go for 22 hours without being in water. So I took her home and put her in a bucket with a little bit of water in whilst I prepared an old aquarium for her. Luckily I had an old one that I had before I put my fish into a pond in the garden. I knew nothing about turtles so thank god for the internet.

That was five years ago and I still have her so I must be doing something right. Surprisingly she is quite a little character, but I think she is funniest when she balances on a rock in the aquarium sticking all her legs out sunbathing.

Perhaps they will turn up as teachers presents, or God forbid, as valentine or Mother's Day gifts!!

Or maybe QVC ordered the bare minimum to see how well it sold, hence the advanced orders now???

Advanced orders? Tell me you are kidding!

I think this could be my favourite post of all time.
p.s. - We need photo's, especially of the sunbathing!!
