I love candles , my favourite though has to be the yankee candle ....

Here is a bit about yankee candles....
They have been in existence for over 30 years now, and they are manufactured to high standards in the united states.

Its birthplace is in massachusetts, where they have got the worlds largest candle store.

They also sell candle accessories, and a variety of different candle scents and different size jars.

They also sell yankee tarts, tealights, housewarnmer jars etc
It is a candle lovers dream, i would love to visit it.

Yankee sells them products in the stores in the uk too not just in the usa.

I first tried yankee candles last year when my friend who lives in the usa sent me over some yankee candle tarts .
ever since then i have been hooked on the yankee candles, i love candles but no other candle comes close to the yankee one,s.
The housewarmers jars come in three different sizes and scents.

They do have strong aromas which is great.
some are stronger than others but they all give off a strong scent.

I went to my local card shop in town today as soon as i walked through the door i regonised the smell before i even saw the yankee candle stand as it was right at the back of the store.
i knew it was yankee straight away and had to buy some yankee candle tarts lol.
I also bought some tealights 12 for 5.99.
They had the full variety in there , housewarmer jars, little jars, tealights, tarts, tealight holders different kinds.
I could of stopped in there all day lol.


The last time i bought a yankee candle tart , i bought it in clean cotton and put it in my handbag till i got home, when i took it out my bag smelt lovely lol.

3.7oz jar which is around 7 pounds . burns for 25 -40 hours
A 14.5oz jar around 13 pounds burns for 65 - 90 hours
22oz jar around 16 pounds.burns for 110 - 150 hours.
tealights 5.99 for 12 they burn for 4 - 6 hours.

There is over 150 different scents so too many to name them all .
Here are some of my favourites........
Clean cotton
bay breeze
autumn leaves
chocolate chip cookie
french vanilla
fresh cut roses
granny smith
home for the holidays
lilac blossoms
peach and sweet berries.

They also do holiday favourites...
cranberry peppermint
holiday bayberry
home for the holidays
white chocolate mint.

So whatever smell you like you are sure to find one in the yankee candle range you like.

my favourite is the clean cotton one.
It smells really fresh.
i would highly recommend these candles.

i always have yankee candles burning and they make my home smell so good.

They are sold in various places including shops and garden centres.
You will probarly be able to find them in some card shops , this was a hallmark card shop i went into.
You do have to look around for them though, you can also buy them from various sites on the internet its worth having a look at .

The only downside to yankee is that i think there should be more shops in the uk selling them !

Good news for yankee candle fans there are 12 new fragrances, which will be available in late april , early may .
The fragrances are ...

Juicy peach
Willow breeze
Midnight cove
Meadow blossoms
Sparkling lemon
Spring bouquet
Mango blossom
Island spa
Sea and sand
Good morning
Vanilla lime
Mango blossom
