My Yankee Candle Christmas (I know it's early) Bargains



I have mentioned before that I have a bit of a problem with Yankee Candles. At Christmas time this problem goes in to overdrive! I always start thinking about Christmas early and this year is no exception.

In total I have 3 medium jars and one tumbler to fill my world with fragrance this festive period! I already mentioned in a previous post that I buy all my Yankee's from the House of Fraser Outlet in my home town. So what I am about to haul for you is £50.14 worth of products for £27.10!




First of all I picked up the Mistletoe and Fig medium jar (£8.55) as I think this is divine.  Such a rich fruity yet festive smell and for some reason I am always drawn to the white coloured candles.

Once I picked that I had the uncontrollable desire to get a shade and plate for it. I have always wanted to get a shade set for medium/large candles as I think they make more of a feature. I know some people think they are awful but I don't care. At first I was going to opt for a Christmas design but I don't really want to have to store it away all year and only bring it out at the festive period. So in the end I went for a clear glass shade (£5.23) and plate (£3.38) which will go with any colour candle I choose.

At that point I had decided to pay and leave... until I came across a regular tumbler in the festive scent Sparkling Snow (£6.96), of course I had to smell it and when I did I knew it would be coming home with me. It is a gorgeous fresh pine smell. On reflection I wish I had bought the large tumbler in this as that was only £13 but I guess I already have enough to be getting on with.

Then as if that wasn't enough, as I got to the till they had a box of Illuma-lid's. These are accessories you put on the top of your jars to help protect the flame so they burn steadier and well they just look pretty! So of course I bought one for £2.79


I may sound a little mad with the Christmas talk in October but I look forward to it all year. I don't go away very often and I never make a big thing about birthdays so Christmas is my thing. That being said, I am forcing myself to wait until after 5th November before I get full on Christmas excited!

Anyone else as sad as me and can't wait for Santa to come?!
