Candles make fantastic gifts at any time of year and with romance
in the air during February, why not treat the special person in your life to a
gift that will last and that will always bring to mind a special moment?
I was never a fan of scented candles but then fell in love
with Yankee Candle just over a year ago because of their stunning true to life
fragrance. They make the best gifts because of the fragrance, but also they are
great value for money and something that really lasts!
Fresh Cut Roses particularly always makes an ideal present
whether it be for a brithday or a romantic occasion. A large jar will give you
up to 150 hours of use which means the scent should be able to be enjoyed
through the spring and beyond!
I love Fresh Cut Roses. Its true to life scent is exactly what you
would imagine from the title. The beautiful fragrance brings to mind freshly
clipped young roses and it is a blend of the most fragrant rose types. It will
brighten any room and bring a touch of sunshine indoors.
A handy tip with large or medium jars is to burn the candle
until it pools across the whole surface on each use and keep the wick trimmed
to about 1.5cm. Then you will get up to
150 hours of burning time from this wonderful candle. (At 3-4 hours per use that
is up to 50 uses). An absolute classic and a founding fragrance in the range,
it always makes a perfect gift.
As a wonderful added incentive, I’ve seen that love and
generosity is in the air amongst those nice people at Yankee Candle –when you buy
Fresh Cut Roses from the official Yankee Candle website between now and the end
of February, Yankee Candle will donate 20% of the RRP to Breast Cancer Care’s
new ‘Buy It With Love’ campaign.
Breast Cancer Care is
the UK’s only specialist breast cancer support charity, and offers specialist
services and support to anyone affected by breast cancer. Unfortunately, breast
cancer is now the UK’s most common cancer, but every single penny raised
through the campaign will allow the charity to help every one of the 55,000
people diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. To find out more
about the campaign and the work the charity does, please go to www.buyitwithlove.com.
So go on, give the special person in your life an extra
special gift during February with Fresh Cut Roses from Yankee Candle! You can

If you’re not such a fan of this scent or want to try
something different, other romantic alternatives could be Yankee Candle’s True
Rose which has the unique scent of a single red rose or perhaps try one of the
new floral range for 2014 which includes the wonderfully bright Pink Hibiscus.
For the man in your life, Midsummer’s Night is an excellent
choice as it has a heady fragrance reminiscent of cologne or perhaps give an
outdoorsy type scent like November Rain or Turquoise Sky.
Whatever your choice – take the plunge with a Yankee Candle
– you won’t be disappointed. Literally dozens of my friends and acquaintances
have become hooked on them over the past year and with Fresh Cut Roses you get
to support a very worthwhile cause too!
