A Reddit user recently shared in a post their excitement after scoring an incredible deal in the candle aisle of a thrift store, and the find impressed fellow thrifters.
In r/ThriftStoreHauls, the user showed off their nearly perfect Diptyque Mimosa candle, which cost just $3.99 — with an additional 25% off. "Merry Christmas indeed," they captioned the post.
Diptyque candles are loved for their unique scents and sleek minimalistic designs. Prices often reach more than $70 for a standard size, so they're not something you'd typically buy on a budget.
The Mimosa scent, with its fresh floral notes, adds a subtle warmth that makes any space feel inviting. Finding one for such an affordable price is not an everyday event.
Thrifting is all about finding interesting or luxurious items without spending a ton, and it's great for the planet too. It gives things a new life instead of having them end up in landfills. Shopping secondhand can mean finding unique items — and you often get high quality and low prices. Thrift stores are also full of surprises, sometimes even rare, one-of-a-kind finds.
Thrift stores are packed with all kinds of hidden gems you might not be able to afford otherwise.

The original poster's deliciously fragrant discovery is a reminder of why so many people turn to thrifting as both a hobby and a lifestyle. Moments such as these keep the joy of treasure hunting alive and well.
