Yankee Candles

I'm a candle snob.  Yankee Candles are my favorite scented candles.  I'd rather go with out scented candles than purchase something cheaper at the Big Box store.  And for me what really makes them worth saving up for is that they are made in America.

A True American Success Story
From humble beginnings …


Christmas 1969. Seventeen-year-old Mike Kittredge, too broke to buy his mother a present, melted some crayons to make her a candle. A neighbor saw it and convinced Mike to sell the candle to her. With that small stake, he bought enough wax to make two candles - one for his mom, and another to sell. That was the birth of Yankee Candle.
