Same here.
Right now I am hooked on the Bean pod Soya Candles, which last forever, and are very environmentally friendly.
Definitely would love to visit a Yankee Candle though

Here's the Yankee Candle web site and there is a store locater there.

Unfortunately my DH doesn't like Yankee Candles for the most part because the fragrance is too strong for him. I get away with some of their votives from time to time.

Just because I could probably open a store with the amount that I have does not mean I am their best customer!


I also like the Beanpod candles.

Ahhhh, I drool over Yankee Candle's "Christmas Cookie" candle. My mom always has a bunch of them. I confiscated a bunch from the "dead candle shelf" because about 1/4" was still left in the jar! Rob's mom got us a Sun & Sand one not too long ago also because we love going to the beach.

I'll try Home Outfitters. (I've been boycotting The Bay for years - ever since Jen was little and I was looking for a pair of Fisher-Price roller skates. The Bay charged $22.00 for them and the toy store across the hall in the mall was charging $16.00.) I figured if they were charging this much over the other store on that one item, what else were they over-charging me for.

I hope you can find some of them at those stores Linda! I know some of the little shops here carry some of them, but its not as fun as going into the Yankee Candle store itself!

Well, I went in there today for the first time (the first time I went in I wasn't able to roam) but today I went with a friend and.....


They had some of their scents buy one get one 1/2 off- so I got my all time favorite McIntosh... 2 of them


They had soo many yummy ones, but I limited myself to these 2, but let me tell you, I think I smelled them all in the store!

Why don't you just go to yankeecandle.com & order them online? I just checked out the site & it said they only charge $6.00 per order under $100, tho it just may cost more if it has to go to New Zealand methinks.

We came home tonight from going out with some friends & the first thing he did was light that candle!


Looks like I'm not the only addict in this house
At least he wont get mad if I go there & spend an obscene amount of money!

I've been obsessively burning Cinnamon Stick and Pumpkin Spice for a week. With the nip in the air, it gives that Autumn feeling!

I also like having the car scents, but they are strong! Right now I have Fresh Cut Roses. You had better like...no...love the smell of roses if you ride in my car these days!

OOoooh, I saw them in the store, they were buy 2 get 1 free! I didn't get any because they didnt have any scents that I LOVED because I knew how strong they were!
I was hoping for a Clean Cotton or McIntosh, but they didn't have any!

I smelled Boo-nilla today and it was really yummy!


I cannot WAIT until their Christmas collection comes out, I love Christmas Cookie (the sugar cookie one
) its my all time favorite


Eek... I'm addicted

I went to the Yankee Candle site and the 22 oz candles cost $22.99. VERY pricey IMO. Tell me, what is the difference between Yankee Candles and the cheapie scented candles you can buy at Walgreens or any craft store?

Do the Yankee Candles burn clean? You know, do they leave that black soot residue on the jar sides? [Cod, I hate that, it looks soooo ugly].

Actually I only burn candles during Thanksgiving because I've got a fluffy long hair cat that caught her tail on fire twice because of candles burning. VERY scary!
