How it all Began

In 1968 Mike Ketteridge a 16-year-old student was looking for gift inspiration with Christmas just around the corner. He decided to make a candle for his Mum because it would be a completely unique and personal gift.

Using everyday materials he found in the kitchen: household wax, a red crayon, string and a milk carton, he produced his very first candle.

A neighbour saw the candle and offered to buy it, leaving the student with enough money to buy more materials to create more – one to gift and one to sell! That was the start of the Yankee Candle^® journey…

From this point Yankee Candle^® has grown in to a worldwide brand, expanding in to Europe…

Yankee Candles are now the number one Candle brand in the UK.

More About Yankee Candles

These candles are made from a high quality paraffin wax, which, as it burns, allows an enveloping bouquet to be released into your room.
