Yankee Candles is a name that everyone knows. It is synonymous with quality scented candles, since Yankee Candles has the largest range of these on the market. Yet, how many of us know the origin of the world-famous Yankee Candles brand? After all, every successful product brand has some kind of genesis. The origin of Yankee Candles is as charming as it is inspiring, and it makes an interesting story.
In 1969, Mike Kittredge – the founder of Yankee Candles – was 16 years old when he melted some of his crayons down so that he could present his mother with a colourful candle for Christmas. The result was basically the first Yankee Candle, and Mike never did give that one to his mother – his neighbour loved it and bought it from him instead. Yankee Candles was born when Mike discovered that this was an excellent business proposition. With the proceeds of this sale, he bought enough candle wax to make another candle for his mother and one to sell off. One of America’s most amazing success sagas was launched, and the rest is candle-making history.
Yankee Candles is now the highest-selling brand of novelty candles in America, with the famous ‘Housewarmers’ range leading in terms of overall demand. However, there are a number of other popular Yankee Candles products available. Yankee Candles votives and jars are also favourites, and there is a huge demand for Yankee Candles teal lights, tarts, tapers, pillars and floating candles as well. On of the best aspects of Yankee Candles is that there is a huge range of attractive accessories available to add to their charm. There are Yankee Candles jar toppers, jar shades, tea light holders and even chandeliers available. In other words, Yankee Candles have gone beyond being a mere product range – they are now lifestyle statements in their own right.
Of course, Yankee Candles’ ultimate selling point is the fact that they can be bought in so many alluring fragrances. It is impossible to think of a scent that has not been used in Yankee candles products so far. The Apple Cider, French Vanilla and Fresh Peach aromas are all-time American favourites, and thousands of homemakers swear by the enticingly comforting scents of the company’s Chocolate Chip Cookie, Banana Nut Bread and Blueberry Muffin scented candles. With aromas like Fresh Cut Roses, Lilac Blossoms, Clean Cotton, Hydrangea and Green Grass, Yankee Candles also have something unique for aromatherapy enthusiasts.
