Advantages: Choice of colour/scent to match rooms or your mood
Disadvantages: Price
I will start by saying that my Mum bought me one of these candles around a year ago, and I have since been addicted!!
Yankee Candles are very long lasting and very strong smelling. There are many candles on the market that smell scrummy but I have only found the Yankee Housewarmer Jars to still smell very strong when lit. (Others are always so disapointing when lit)
The Yankee candle comes in a variety of sizes;
Samplers, Tarts, Small, Medium & Large Jars with the the most expensive retailing at £16.99 (the size I always buy)
Although £16.99 is expensive for a candle, I personally think that they are worth it for the following reasons: Very long burn time, scent that literally fills your home, looks attractive, and come in a huge variety of colours and fragrances.
Yankee also sell room sprays, car jars and a large range of accessories that would make lovely gifts.
