Love Yankee Candles also but there is a small company who makes candles just as well, scents the whole house, not sweet or yucky (I get headaches from yucky candles), and they are called Makepeace Naturals with natural soy wax at www.makepeace.com. They are just as good or better than Yankee Candles at much lower price. My DIL introduced them to me. Just thought I'd let you know. I believe a 16 oz candle is 8 dollars.

Soy candles
Hope this helps When I want to make something and don't anything about it I go to the internet and type in what I want to know. Type in "making soy candle ideas" see what you get. There are alot of craft ideas for free on the internet. I'm a crafter at heart.
Soy candles? Oh, please do explain!

looking for help making soy candles see message
I want to start making soy candles and would like to correspond a little bit with somebody who has experience making them. I have questions such as where is the cheapest place to get supplies, what problems I might encounter, what to do to rectify them. I'm looking to get started to make these as Christmas presents plus for myself at home. I would appreciate it very, very much if anybody could help ME that is not going to mind getting a few E-mails from me with questions.
Candles essential in my home...sm
I will even pass up the highlighting kit that covers up my gray hair for a candle(s)! I'll even have an awesome coupon for the exact kit that I use, but if I'm low on candles, I'll go to the dollar store and load up instead! I dunno, there's just something about the mood they create that I love!
In my single days, when I had great MT jobs that paid well, I bought the coolest candle from a novelty store (yeah, they sold XXX toys there too!). Anyway, that candle made the room look so nice. It came in a Mason-type jar, and lit the room in a special way (it was definitely a bedroom candle)! It was pretty expensive, but I wasn't poor back then. I'd love to find one just like it again, and be able to afford to buy it.
We're all just different people liking different things I guess.
What kind of things do you buy when you have a few extra dollars (for just yourself)?
Have you ever made those water candles?
When I was a young teenager, we would make the water candles in a bucket of water. Got burned more than I care to think about. Made some pretty awesome-looking candles though!
I make my own candles - easier that way, and fun!

Well I don't buy stuff like candles, for one thing, if I'm having to be careful. SM
I've always lived somewhat frugally (unless you count my PERSONAL spending habits). I don't even have cable TV.
Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
Gosh, I just love that smell. Anyone know where I can purchase something like that? What a great pick me up for winter. Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain. If I could only bottle that aroma.....
