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.
