Picture this, it’s now the Christmas holidays and all your work for the term is done. You deserve to relax and soak up every second of the festive period and what better way to find your inner zen than to light a few candles and watch the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special on repeat!
Here are my favourite Yankee Candles you should invest in for the ultimate festive experience. Yankee candle has various prices depending on the jar size, I have included the prices for the large jar that has approximately 110-150 hours burn time.
For reference, when discussing scents in this article – the top note is the initial impression of the fragrance, middle note is the main body of the scent and base is its final impression.
Yankee Candle have also introduced a 12.5% student discount this year, so if that’s not an excuse to spend, I don’t know what is!
