I'm thankful I live in a country where I have enough to eat and am able to keep up with most of my bills.
I'm thankful that I have a good job and work with caring people.
And I'm thankful that I am able to work and take care of myself."

"I am thankful for my beautiful children, my (long-suffering) wife, a wonderful job, old friends, new friends and, of course, coffee."

"I am thankful for my friends who are always there to support, guide and encourage me... and never letting me forget that our strength comes from each other, and in that strength we are strong as individuals and as a group that can do anything.
I am thankful for my family who is always there for me.
I am thankful for another day to be thankful for what I have and what I will have."

"I am thankful for my health and happiness and for all of my family and friends who I love so much!
I am thankful for my husband and my Mom who take such good care of me while I'm in school!
I am thankful that my bosses here at Yankee Candle are so good to me so that I can go to school and support myself at the same time! (they may not know it but I truly appreciate them!)"

Great Store Experience !

When great service is experienced by our guests, whether shopping through the catalog, online or in one of our many Yankee Candle Company® stores, sometimes they like to share it:

"Dear Yankee Candle,

I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know as a corporation what kind of helpful and kind sales people you have hired for your Potomac Mills location in Woodbridge, VA.

I went this evening, November 6 and a young lady with long dark hair offered to help me find anything I might be looking for. She held my merchandise while I shopped and was extremely courteous. I just wanted to let you know that I really did appreciate the extra effort she put forth to insure a great shopping experience at your store.

Thank you again,

Amy R"

What an awesome review!

What Amy didn't realize is that the "extra effort" she experienced that evening was just an example of how Yankee Candle likes to treat all of our guests. You're the reason we're here!

If you've had an extraordinary experience with Yankee Candle, we'd love to hear your story!

Hey! We're On TV!

One of our Customer Loyalty Team members received a call from a guest who was watching Wheel of Fortune the other night and just happened to see our $1000 voucher on the wheel.

She said to her husband that our candles must be very expensive if we're on there. (As any Wheel watcher knows, the prizes that are offered are always top notch.)

Her husband asked her to go online and check us out. She did, and after chatting with our Team member bought 2 large Harvest® jars! The excitement in the her voice was wonderful to hear. She said we could expect another call from her when it was time to order her holiday fragrances.

It makes us wonder if Pat and Vanna have "given us a spin."
