While you may think about shopping for electronics, clothing and other high-ticket items throughout Black November, it’s also a great time to toss some subtler, more ethereal treats into your virtual shopping bag. Like some new candles to make your (or someone else’s) home feel extra cozy. The warm glow of a candle and the inviting scents of the season — cinnamon donuts, spiced apples, a pine tree farm, pumpkin pie, freshly baked cookies — can make any space feel more inviting. With that in mind, you’ll be happy to know that Amazon has slashed prices on some of Yankee Candle’s bestselling autumn and holiday scents by up to 50%.
Along with stylish glass holders, extra-long burn times (we’re talking 110 hours or more) and high-quality paraffin wax, the variety of delicious-smelling offerings is unbelievable. Some of the most popular varieties are marked down right now, including Balsam & Cedar, Spiced Pumpkin and Salted Caramel. Now is the perfect time to stock up for the season, whether you plan to keep your new scents to yourself or gift them to some very lucky folks.
