We have a Yankee Candle store in our mall now. They smell so good. They have a Christmas cookie and candy cane. WOW! I just wish they were not so expensive. Do you like their candles? Do you think that they are priced well?

Yankee candles are my very favorite! I especially like the Macintosh and Clean Cotton. Since I have moved to Mexico I am not able to buy them any longer. I have one that I brought with me (clean cotton) that I won't burn because I can't buy them here. Every couple of days I go and lift the lid and smell it, yummy! Yes they are very expensive, but they do last a long time and fill your home with a glorious smell!

I say Yankee candles are very good candles , but also over priced . I'm a candle maker and have made my own candles for umm probably 20 years . My candles would burn just as well and have just as strong of a scent throw as Yankee candles . What you are paying for is the name . Alot of people like buying certain brand names of things . I don't I rather look for a bargain or do it myself . To me Yankee just doubles the scent , and also triples the price

Yankee Candles are great! They do smell so good. A little bit pricey but I think worth it. My favorite is Home Sweet Home.

I went to a Yankee Candle store in a mall in Portland and found a couple I really liked, but they are very Expensive, and unless you can find a Sale I am not sure I could ever afford them. But they did have some scents that were totally out of this world for sure. I actually have never checked to see if their is one in our local mall, and not sure if I want too unless it is to go in there, and smell all of the Candles there and dream.

i can get them at certain stores here where i live (i am in canada) and i like these because these are one of the few types of candles that i can actually smell! i have serious nose issues that dont allow me to smell much but these i can.

Yes! Yankee Candles just smell heavenly! I love all of them.I have tried the Cotton,Sunflower,Strawberry,Coconut,French Vanilla,Melon gosh and more than I can remember.They make the whole house smell great .I think a nice smelling house is great! Especially when you walk in and the smell hits you slightly not too strong and these candles in my opinion are one of the best!

I absolutly LOVE Yankee Candles, and I use candles a lot around my house, so I think I can speak to this question! I do think that they are a very high quality candle. They burn for a very long time, and their scents are not only unique, but they are not overpowering as some of the scented candle out there are today! As far as price, I think they are very expensive in todays frugal world I have a hard time spending 18.00 for a candle, so I just ask for them as gifts sometimes! If they go on sale I definately buy a few! I even went to their factory once in Willliamsburg Virgina, and it was such a neat place. The gift ship was HUGE and it was an outlet store as well, so the prices were SOOO good. I just wish I lived closer! (Tee Hee!)

Ah, baileycows, you are so right. Yankee Candles smell gloriously delicious! We don't have one in our mall but I have smelled them before. My daughter loves vanilla and I like ginger snaps and christmas cookies. Candy cane is so fresh. It is yummy smells. Reminds me of the kitchen at grandmas around christmas time.

Hey baileycows! I love Yankee Candles too! We have one here where I live too! My girlfriend an I love to go into that store! It smells so good and they have so many fanatastic smelling candles we never know which ones to get! But, they are so expensive! I wish they weren't that expensive! My girlfriend usually gets 15 at once! It's great when they have some kind of sale, but it's not very often. I haven't been there in a long time. I haven't checked out the Christmas ones, but I'll be they are incredible!
