From humble beginnings ...Christmas 1969. Sixteen-year-old Mike Kittredge, too broke to buy his mother a present, melted some crayons to make her a candle. A neighbor saw it and convinced Mike to sell the candle to her. With that small stake, he bought enough wax to make two candles—one for his mom, and another to sell. That was the birth of Yankee Candle.…to America's favorite brand of premium scented candlesYankee Candle has become the most recognized name in the candle business and the country's best-selling candle brand.
