Bargain hunter Bethany Slack is urging shoppers to ‘run’ to their nearest TK Maxx store after spotting a rare candle in the store that’s worth far more than its price tag suggests
A bargain hunter got the surprise of a lifetime whilst browsing TK Maxx – after stumbling upon an extraordinary item on sale at a drastically reduced price.
Bethany Slack, who runsThe Luxury Pickers on Instagram alongside her partner Austin, shared how she was exploring the Somerset store when a rare candle captured her attention.
She headed straight towards it and quickly discovered it was a luxury Boy Smells “Magnum” candle – normally available in Harrods – marked down by £45.
In her post, she said: “What I’m about to show you will blow your mind. Now this isn’t just any Boy Smells candle, this is the rare, highly talked about Magnum. Now if you put Magnum with anything, it’s going to mean it’s really good. These are stocked in Harrods.”
At TK Maxx, the 765g three-wick candle is being sold for £34.99, prompting Bethany to encourage shoppers to “run” and secure one for themselves.
Responding to her post, one user said: “Omg I saw this in TK Maxx today and thought it was just like a normal candle with a gimmicky name and walked straight past.”
Another added: “Amazing find, but seriously, I have no words.” Meanwhile, a third wrote: “Love watching your content! Popping down to TK Maxx in the morn, thanks!”.
On Kith’s website, the Magnum candle is priced at £80. However, it is currently sold out due to high demand.
Given its popularity, some shoppers have even listed their Boy Smells Magnum candles on eBay for as much as £286.70. Boy Smells has seen a significant surge in popularity in recent years, offering perfumes, body mists and candles.
A statement from the brand reads: “To craft an ever-evolving collection of perfumes and home fragrances that let you play with scent to express everything that is you. We are here for every side of you.
“Collect them all. Mix and match. And most importantly: follow your nose. From the height of Millennialism to a new era in 2025, we never stop evolving.
“Bold, boundary-breaking, and beautifully in-between. We are rooted in genderfulness – not as a passing trend, but as a constant way of being.
“Because identity isn’t static. And neither are we. We embrace the full spectrum. Every facet of self. The moods. The phases. The playful contradictions. The joy of reinvention – never one thing, and never meant to be. We stand for multiplicity.
“We invite you into the power of scent – where fragrance isn’t gendered, but generous. Where binaries dissolve. And something new takes shape.”
