    Bought a candle from tx maxx under the name Plymouth Bay candles-big 21oz one in a jar for about 10.99 (i think),says made by yankee candles on the bottom ps safety tip-they say dont use after half inch on wax left in bottom or glass may shatter.
  • the CO oP dept store has a sale on yankee candles. I got some tea lights and they are very nice. They are half price in the sale. But this is in Tamworth in the midlands so it might be just a local thing.

    Buy a candle burner and the yankee candle that costs about £2. cut it in four and put a peice in the burner and then a night light candle below it and let the yankee melt , the smell will go throw you hole house and it save's you on the candle as you have the other three peices to melt at a later date.The eight hour night light candles are fantastic but cost a little bit more than the normal one's. I have did this for years was a tip from the USA .
