Rosa has confirmed on Twitter (sorry, X) that Yankee are back, she will be presenting, but it’s the only show this year
Eight nowFive items have just been added to the Q website so if that's all they've got, they'll have to pad the show out quite a bit.
There are others which are not showing on the link yet
Red Apple Wreath is a gorgeous candle. One of my absolute favouritesIt’s the Christmas Cookie one I can’t stand. (Red Apple Wreath is one of my favourites because it isn’t a spring apple it has a Christmassy apple scent.) I won’t be buying this.
Tell me Yankee never should have left without telling me they shouldn't have leftShow lasted less than half an hour the items sold so fast.
So true, Stephen who did BA with Rosa on QVC had his own shop and Yankee opened their own brand shop around the corner from him. So his went under.The arse end of this market fell out a long time ago. Yankee were super quick to open brand stores often with little regard for the independents who'd championed their brands in various cities across the country.
Couple that with some of their manufacturing changes and other factors which overall reduced faith in their brand and the fact there are many other brands of good quality on what's left of the market is why you often see their non home inspiration stuff in discount stores etc these days.
I thought that as well. Not just talking sadly, we had the faux orgasmic (well I HOPE it was faux!) moaning all the time as she sniffed the candles. I felt sick listening to her, .I found Debbie Flint completely overbearing and rude during this show, talked over Rosa and doing a lot of the demos herself - didn’t really need Rosa.
Garden Centres are often a great place to find decent displays of YC candles.I thought that as well. Not just talking sadly, we had the faux orgasmic (well I HOPE it was faux!) moaning all the time as she sniffed the candles. I felt sick listening to her, .
I have never seen a decent YC display or brand shop in London. Quite a few in Clinton’s but that was it really. Then a shop opened in Kingston and I was ecstatic…. But it was a Christmas pop up. I was cast down! I used to buy mine mainly from Q or Temptation Gifts.
Poor Stephen was really screwed over. I would like him to come back but guess it will never happen. I can’t really see his socials but what does he do for a living these days? Is he just an influencer, and if so about what. He has lost a lot of weight I know that.
I prefer the wax tarts to the candles. I have also been told you get the real YC direct from YC but those available in supermarkets, cut price stores, are a very much watered down versions. You can still buy YC from their online shops as I do frequently. I was in my local Dobbies yesterday and their usual YC shelves totally dedicated to YC were almost empty!I like Yankee Candle and have a box full of tarts. I keep buying them when I'm out and about. I have a lovely burner with owls sitting on a snowy tree, they have little Santa hats and scarves on and every year I get it out and burn Christmas Eve tarts. Love the Christmas Eve smell.
some discount stores acutally do sell the normal housewarmer jars & not the home inspirations range (farm foods is one ive seen doing them) but the choices are very limitedI prefer the wax tarts to the candles.
