Since Christmas, I have been lusting over Yankee Candles. I managed to get my hands on a few Christmas Cookie samples and instantly fell in love. I also purchased two 'car jars' online which make my car smell amazing! But I had a mission. I wanted (and knew it was possible) to find a large jar for the price of a small jar in the sale before it ended. After endless visits to sites online, trips to TKMaxx, Homebase and other places people recommended to me, I was soon to give up. But it was mum who told me to try good old Cliton's Card (thanks mum!!), and when I spotted these two sat on the top self on their own in clearance, someone in my head sung 'HALLELUJAH!'
I only paid £7.99 each for these large jars! They only had Christmas Cookie left which was fine, because that's my favourite and personally, I don't think its
that christmassy?
Yankee describe it as
'buttery rich, vanilla scented, holiday sugar cookies' mmmm, amazing! They roughly burn between 110 - 150 hours which is fantastic! The big ones give off more of scent too.
Anyway, I'm so happy with my bargain, I just had to share.

Oooh wowzer!! Such a bargain! I have a Christmas Cookie tart that i haven't used yet, so excited to cos i've heard so much good stuff about it! I wonder if Yankee Candle jars burn equally though? Because when you buy other candles it really annoys me when they just burn a massive hole down the middle and then there's all this wax left untouched at the side :( I had a Glade one that said it burned for ''up to 30 hours'', it lasted 5 if that!! haha

Yeah that is a good point, I hadn't thought about that! I hope the yankee one doesn't do that my little ones don't! Its the same with make up though 'lasts 24 hours' pfff, my arse more like 5! haha xx
DeleteNotice they always say ''upto'', so ''upto'' 24 hours could be 2 or 3 haha tricksy marketing teams!!!

DeleteGreat bargain Brogan! I love their christmas scents, but i have never smelt christmas cookie before, will have to take a look in Clintons!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your candles :)
Love Claudia xo
Oh Claudia you should definitely smell it, beautiful vanilla scent! Thanks! xx
DeleteAmazing! I love the smell of this one and I would be really happy if I could get it for cheaper. But I don't think that's possible in my country since they only sell them in one shop. :D
