Normally I’m not a candle person, never really owned any (cue sad violin music) nor been fussed about having any. However any time I am near a Yankee Candle stand in a shop you will find me standing there sniffing away – yes I acknowledge that sounds a bit sinister. Lately I’ve been getting into Yankee Candles in a big way- mainly the samplers. Personally I find spending upwards of £8 on a candle which I may not like the scent of a bit too much. However I’m loving the samplers as a fab way to try and test new scents – this is how I’ve become obsessed with the scent of Christmas Cookie and have stocked up on the jars in the Boxing Day Sales.
If you’re from the North East you may have noticed that Collectables have had a series of pop-up stores around the region over the Christmas period which have specialised mainly in Yankee Candles. What is even better about this is that when these shops close the candles are reduced in price. I picked up these the other week while in Newcastle for about 80p each – which is a bargain. I’ve already burnt the Mango candle and I definitely want a large jar of this and I’m currently burning the Bahama Breeze which I do like, yet unsure whether to buy a jar.
As I’m back at uni today and have a couple of breaks – I’m debating whether a quick trip into town to see whether the shop is still open to stock up on some more. If you read the Sunday Girl blog you will see that Adrienne has a slight obsession with Yankee Candles too – keep checking her posts as she links you up with some really cheap ebay sellers.
What Yankee Candles should I get next??
Ohh I love yankee candles!!
ReplyDeleteI love Yankee Candles too - they smell great. I got some large jars of their Christmas ones which are still full up. My house will still be smelling Christmassy in July! lol

I love the samplers and tarts too, mango peach salsa is one of my favourites! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on samplers, well I say I'm not, I just haven't really tried them but I did get some for xmas that I need to burn. I prefer the wax tarts, they're like a quid and they last ages!!!

The samplers and tarts are such good value, I find I never finish burning the big ones because I get bored of the scent after a while but the little ones burn for a few days then you can try more! I love the pink sands one and the red velvet cake is amazing too but can be hard to find in the sampler size sometimes. Xx
