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

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
