Yankee Candles - Mom's Best Loved Gift!

Do you remember the first gift you gave your mother? Not something that you made or flowers you picked from the yard, but the first time you took out your allowance money to purchase something for Mom. I distinctly remember the day my father allowed me to buy something on my own to give my mother for Mother's Day. After several minutes I found the most beautiful item my 8-year-old eyes could spy: a tube of fire engine red lipstick! When my mother unwrapped it she squealed with delight, never letting on that her color preference was more in the pastel range. I think about my Mom's reaction now that I have my own 8-year-old whose taste may be a bit different than my own. To thank my mother for being such a good role model, I'm waxing sentimental with a brand new tube of fire engine red lipstick and then something she'll really love: a bouquet of Fresh Cut Roses by Yankee Candle. And, if my daughter shops with me I just may drop a not-so-subtle hint that I would really like Pink Sands™ to go along with the sky blue eye shadow that's already wrapped up for me!

For a limited time only, with each Yankee Candle jar purchase you get a second for half-price in all Yankee Candle Company retail stores and online - give one to Mom & get your favorite too!

What I Want for Mother's Day

For my first 37 years, Mother's Day was all about the fabulous mother figures in my life: my mom, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins and friends. All of those great women who helped to shape and form me well into my adult life. Mother's Day changed for me in 2003 when I was the one being called Mom. Each Mother's Day since has been uniquely different and even more special than the next. None of the other women have lost their importance in my world, but I now have a 7-year-old who wants to make me Queen of the Day and I am delighted to indulge her! Thankfully, Yankee Candle® makes it easy for her to treat me well. She can give me a bouquet of Fresh Cut Roses or whisk me away to an Island Spa™! We can Drift Away™ and dream of a lakeside cottage or a Beach Vacation™. She can even brew me some Hazelnut Coffee and bake scrumptious Blueberry Scones! And, it's as easy as lighting a candle and creating memories.

The very first candle made by our founder Mike Kittredge was a homemade gift for his mom and today Yankee Candles® remain a favorite gift for moms around the world.
