When you’re not sure what you need to spruce up your home this winter, look no further than a candle. (Newsflash: you don’t need to buy a new couch or a pricey new kitchen appliance to liven up your space!) A good candle provides a sensory experience which fills your soul — and home — with warmth, relaxation and joy.
The key word is “good”… similar to a pungent perfume, a bad candle can turn your positive sensory experience into a nightmare for the nostrils. If you don’t want to risk it with snagging a smelly candle, Yankee Candle is always a safe bet. A quality brand and reviews are helpful in guiding you to the best fit, but we’re here to take it a step further; we’ll help you find the best fit of the best fit. Check out these six beautifully-scented Yankee candles you won’t want to do winter without!
P.S. in case you were wondering, they’re not Christmas-themed. Enjoy!
