Better Homes and Gardens — 9 piece frayser quickfit tiered led landscape lighting set MFG #CB930 -C8

This is the second set that after a year the lights become defective and all blink in unison.
Bought first set in Walmart, worked well for 1 year then all lights blinked.
Got a second set from Walmart and that set worked well again for 1 year and now they all blink. I disconnected the power and now they are useless.
I would like a refund so I can buy lights that last more then 12 months.

    Better Homes and Gardens — Double diffuser. One day old and top is stuck

    I just bought this. And the top that goes over the chamber is stuck and won't come off. So I cannot use it. I didn't keep my receipt because I thought this company made good products. I am so disappointed as I saved for 6 months to get it. I have insomnia and lavender helps. So a one-day-old product broken. I am disabled so I had to get a ride to get it and it breaks in less than 24 hours. Since I don't drive I want it replaced. I bought this one because I like Better Homes and Gardens and I thought the product would be excellent. Just the stress of writing this letter is too much. My number [protected]. And you have no site to troubleshoot problems on this product and it was not cheap.

        Better Homes and Gardens — King Size Sheets

        I purchased to sets of Kings Sheets(pillow cases, Fitted sheets, etc;) one white and one Grey. I washed them before I placed them on my bed and had them for a week then switched to the other color. While I use the other color, I wash the color I removed. After this second wash the white sheet set is already frayed and splitting. I then washed the grey set and the same thing is happening. I purchased these two set 4 weeks ago for $69.00 each and both are already frayed and broken. Terrible terrible product.

          Better Homes and Gardens — Large garden patio umbrella's

          We have purchased 2 Patio Umbrella's in the last year from Walmart. Both do not work now! When winding them to go back down, they both stop and won't go down. We have an In Home Child Care at our home and use them for shade in the children's outside play area. We have to lay them in the yard in fear a wind will come up and blow them over. We would like a refund for both of them. [protected]@hotmail.com

            Better Homes and Gardens — Sheets

            I purchased a set of your sheets and loved them. Today I went to take them off the bed and noticed they were shredded. I can send photos if needed. Very disappointed.
            Sheets were purchased at Walmart a couple years ago. Please see photos, I have never seen cotton sheets shred in this way.
            I thought these sheets would last much h longer. Better Homes and Gardens should stand behind their product.

              Better Homes and Gardens — Blue harbor cove 18 oz candle

              I chose the above product because of the trust I had in the the BHG name. I found a candle that had the perfect scent. It definitely fills the room with a wonder smell. I was impressed. But now this is undoubtedly the worse purchase on a candle. I've been able to use about 5 ozs of it. I'm not sure it's even that much. From the outside of the jar it looks completely full. This is an unacceptable product. And what makes it worse is that this scent has been my absolute favorite. What a shame and what a waste of money.

                Better Homes and Gardens — Better homes and garden show

                I'm very disappointed with the show now that you've taken Jason off the show. Jason had full of personality this other one that you've got on I don't even know his name he is boring so if you want to try to keep going on with the show I would bring Jason back on. I don't know why you would've taken Jason off because as I said he had personality he came up with some new ideas . I'm just watching the show now and this other new guy I'm nearly falling asleep because he's so boring

                    Better Homes and Gardens — plug-in scent/nightlight

                    I went to change the bottle of scent and the oil had seeped through the unit, it was black around the plugs and on the wall outlet. To me, this is a fire hazard. I got these as a Christmas gift. But on the label it says it was sold at Walmart. I would like to know what I should do with these? I have 5 of the Plug-ins and 5 bottles of oil. I can be reached at [protected]. My name is Debra Brown.

                      Better Homes and Gardens — 17 oz candle

                      My candle had been burning for about 45 minutes and we hear a loud pop. I normally let it burn for a couple of hours, then put it out. I went to check the noise and the candle had busted. I put it out as quickly as possible. I tried to return the candle to the store. They refused to exchange it. This is the first time that we have had an issue with this.

                        Better Homes and Gardens — better homes garden king size sheets sets

                        I recently bought a set of BHG King size sheets at Walmarts, washed them and loved them so much I went back for another set. This set after washing were so out of shape they could not be folded. The pillow cases were even worse. I will be getting a refund, but thought you should know that someone forgot what Square was. I am hoping the next set I get won't be the same.

                          Better Homes and Gardens — bhg sugar sweet gumdrop wax cubes

                          I am just wondering why these aren't made anymore. The only ones I can find are on amazon and they're very expensive and only have 4 left in stock. This is one of my favorite smells and I'd use it all year. Haven't been able to find them during the holiday season these last few years. I always look for them. Are you bringing them back anytime soon? I'd really like to have some. Please let me know!

                          Thank you,

                            Hi better homes and gardens,

                            I really love your show but as I have recently developed a vegan life style, your cooking show makes me feel very sad and I find myself not wanting to watch.

                            I really love everything else about your show though. The DIY is awesome and I love the plant and animal segments!

                            Perhaps you could maybe put in a few vegetarian or vegan meals into your cooking show to reach more viewers?

                            Thanks for listening,
                            Britt

                              Better Homes and Gardens — wax melts

                              I loved the scent of the vanilla caramel spice for a fall scent. Unfortunately when I used it in my wax warmer it ate the paint off. I am disappointed because I've had this warmer for less than a year. The paint doesn't affect the warmers ability, but it is ugly to look at. I will certainly be telling everyone and will not be purchasing anymore bhg wax melts.

                                This is NOT a complaint but rather a REQUEST...

                                Please tell me where I can order/buy the BHG Warm Tobacco Leaf wax melts. They are amazing. I use these in my retail home and flooring store and I constantly have folks commenting on how wonderful my store smells, however, Wal*Mart no longer carries this item. Its scent is soft and inviting during any season of the year. It is, in my humble opinion, the best fragrance you've ever offered in the melts, and I've used about all of them over the past several years.

                                Since I can no longer purchase at Wal*Mart, I would be happy to order directly from BHG or any online supplier you could point me to. Please let me know if you have any ideas on where I can get these gems.
                                Thank you,

                                  My mother bought me Beautiful Homes and Gardens burgundy sheet set in June because I was turning 65 on July 4th! I Loved the sheets! They were soft, didn't wrinkle and were the perfect color! That's how I Did feel until yesterday when I wore up to the fitted sheet had a huge hole and the material around it was so thin it was like Chinese paper!!! I'm so very disappointed that my 89 year old mother was taken advantage of!!! I want to know what your company is going to do????? I have saved the sheets and want a way to ship them to you and get a new set!!!
