Around the holidays I was wanting some candles to make the house feel more warm, welcoming, and festive (it was 80 degrees till mid December.) A friend of mine recommended Yankee candles. I was a little annoyed with the price, however a few days later - I saw the Christmas candles half off at staples! I have to admit, candles must be one of those "you get what you pay for" type things, because these are fantastic. They smell wonderful and are a lot stronger than other candles I have used.
