Love Yankee candles just finished a one called cottage breeze it is beautiful. The one I'm using at the moment is wedding day. I find the best bargains and where you get great value for money is QVC.

Absolutely love them.. But Mr S tired of having to redecorate because of the soot that comes of them so we use the electric burners and tarts now. ..I adore the one with the daisy on. . Can't remember the name... Maybe fresh as but they just discontinued it

Ikea ones don't seem to leave a sooty residue like most. I've been using them for years.

I'm not a fan of candles but I do like plug in air freshners. A silly question but do they do Yankee candles that are not actually candles, more of an electric plug in?

I love Yankee .... QVC and Boundry Mills are best for price on the real ones. I have jars and tarts for different moods ..... fresh cut roses my fav at mo.

Ones in asda are nice but they are not as strong, they are more an essence of rather than full blown smelly

I use one of the Yankee lampshade things to prevent soot :o)

There's a brand called Kringle. They do ones that are clearly designed for men; the jars and scents. It's the new firm started by Yankee when the original owners sold the company.

I think Yankee candles are over priced here I had a load when we lived on Base in Germany and they were dirt cheap compared to the prices we pay but I do love them
