 Tickle Your Senses With Yankee Candles

by Wendy Yeager

How many of us remember as kids creating our own candles from our broken crayons? Wed have mom or dad help us melt down the crayons on the stove, throwing in every color of the rainbow. Then wed carefully pour the melted wax into old cardboard milk cartons. But, how many of us were able to turn the fun of creating candles at home into a profitable money-making business? Well, Mike Kittredge, founder of Yankee Candles did just that! In 1969, when he was 16 years old, Mike melted down his old crayons to make his mom a candle for Christmas. His neighbor liked it so well, that she bought it from him. He then had enough money to buy wax to make both a candle for his mom and one to sell. This was the beginning of a bright future for Yankee Candles. 

Today, Yankee Candles are the #1 selling brand in the United States. The Housewarmers are Yankee Candles most popular candle. They vary in size from votives at 3.7 oz. to 14.5 oz. and 22 oz. candles in jars with a lid. These Yankee Candles burn anywhere from 25-150 hours-depending on the size of candle. Yankee Candles are not only available as votives and in jars, they also are available as tarts, tea lights, pillars, tapers, and floating candles. 

If you'd like to add a little accent to your Yankee Candles, then try one of their many colorful accessories, such as: jar toppers, pillar and jar bases, jar shades, chandeliers, or holders for your tea light, votive, or floating candles. They have some very beautiful items to choose from. 

I think floating candles are my favourite, as you can change their appearance just by changing the container they are floating in. Anything that holds water without leaking can be used, so it opens up so many options. The room looks quite different when you use a brass bowl to when you use a coloured etched glass bowl for instance. And of course, you can change the colours of the candles too, and using scented candles changes the mood significantly.. Have fun playing with all these options. Site Editor
