Discount Yankee Candles

Discount Yankee Candles are great when you can find them! Whether you find them online, at an outlet store or just on sale in your area, they are a very popular fragranced jar candle.

The Yankee Candle Company had a very interesting beginning, though, so let's take a minute to tell it, before going shopping!

Did you know that the very first candle made by the company founder was made from melted crayons? Michael Kittredge made the candle as a gift for his mother.

Now obviously he moved on to more traditional candle wax, and soon enough, friends and neighbors were asking to buy his creations. Michael began making more and more and finally decided it was time to officially open a business.

With a little help from high school friends Susan Obremski and Donald MacIver, the Yankee Candle Company was born.

The flagship store still exists in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, and as you might guess, it's a popular tourist attraction.
