What a surprise I had this afternoon!! My faithful UPS man delivered a box from Yankee Candle!! My "secret pal's" gift had arrived!! WOW!! Talk about FAST!!!! Kama89, you are one prompt lady!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!! I think Kim is psychic!!! She sent me a Macintosh Housewarmer, two Key Lime votives and two Christmas Wreath tarts. Those are three of my all-time favorite scents!!!! There was also a SunflowerCar Jar. The last time I was at our YC store I had said that I would have to try Sunflower soon because it was so intriguing!! Kim, I just don't know how you knew--but your gift was absolutely perfect!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!

So has anyone else received their YC yet--or am I first? If so, I guess this can be the "thank you" thread.

Holy Smoly Oly (as DD says!)!!! That WAS fast!!!

If anyone deserves the 1st package MaryJo, it's you! ;) How wonderful you got yours so soon! How great of Kim to be so quick!

I think your thread title says it all! No need to change it! ;)

and I hope that the someone who receives it, likes it! I made the mistake of taking DH and oddball with me to the YC store yesterday. HUGE MISTAKE. I think DH spent more than I did, and I went crazy!

Oddball forgot her list, so we visited the YC website last night and she ordered hers. It should be mailed out! We are really looking forward to hearing from our recipients to see if we did a good job.

This is exciting!!!!!:p :p :p

I ordered mine to be sent direct to my exchangee on Sunday, but I havent recieved an email as confirmation :confused: Should I get an email???? or should I give them a call?

Emma, I'm not sure about the 'gift' packages. I know I ordered Sunday but, it's being delivered to me and, I received a shipment confirmation. Come to think of it, I don't think 'gift' packages are 'confirmed' by email. You might just wait a few days and ask your 'recepient' or, wait & see if they reply.

KaraKW

I would probably call them just to double check. I ordered mine last night online and had it sent directly to my exchangee as well and I had an email in about 10 minutes verifing it. Give em a call and they can double check it.

Did my shopping this afternoon and will prepare it for flight tonight! My kids had a good time helping me and I hope my exchange person enjoys! Of course, they ;) (I have to blame someone) would not let me get out of the store without a purchase for myself! I bought watermelon! Anyways....It will be in the mail tomorrow (I promise) and will be flying north!

Lynette - Glad you liked the Ocean Waters! It's one of my favorites, too! :)

Shep - My mom shopped on Saturday and she got a discount at her YC store... :confused:

Olena - What an adorable ladybug votive holder! Reminds me of the three bird votive holders I saw at YC recently. They look like the little baby birds on my porch. I wanted to buy them, but I restrained myself! ;)

I just got mine in the mail as well today!!! Thank you so much Heather! You have no idea how much I needed this package today... it sure made me smile from the Buttercream housewarmer to the votive candles in Clean Cotton and Honeysuckle to that beautifully done up note... it was all just perfect :) I also wanted to say you have good taste in scents... I had been thinking of trying out Clean Cotton and Honeysuckle but decided to hold off. So thanks again for helping make my day :)

I received my YCE.
I was so excited to find a package waiting for me when I returned home after being out of town. I just recently joined the DIS and thought this would be a good way to meet others. I quickly opened my package to my my favorite YC scent- MacIntosh Apple. I like burning it in my kitchen.
Anyway... I want to THANK FTWFAN for my jar candle, my cute apple plate and shade, and for the car jar. You really spoiled me. I want to do this YCE again and again.
Thanks again......you were a GREAT YC SENDER.

My recipient has already sent and, been acknowledged! So, narrow that down, you anxious ones! ;) :p

I just need 1 more day (I hope)! I had a slight delay. :(

07-30-2002, 01:14 AM
I sent my package out this morning and it is travelling WEST. I hope someone enjoys the surprise when it arrives.

I went back to my YC store AGAIN tonight to get some more goodies but the sale was over! It ended Sunday. :( The new promotion was "get a frosted jar candle with a $55 purchase." The manager said that YC has a new CEO and that is why they now have frequent promotions. I remember not long ago when they only had the "candle of the month" and the "after-Christmas" sale!! I like these new ideas!! I find I'm checking out the store more frequently. The special August candle scents are Blueberry and ButterCream. YUMMY!!

Oh, in case anyone is a KLUTZ like I am, here is some YC info which might be helpful. The other day I dropped a large, brand- new jar of Ocean Water (which I'd gotten at Hallmark). It smashed to smithereens!! I mentioned it to the YC store manager who said to bring the candle in to the YC store and I'd receive a store credit for another candle. I said that the candle was Ocean Water which isn't sold in the YC stores presently.
She said that it didn't matter--if it is a product made by YC, I can get a new candle. Of course, I could not get the Ocean Water fragrance but I did get another favorite of mine.

I'm looking forward to seeing who receives their package later today!!

Cindy B
07-30-2002, 05:59 AM
wow, that is a nice frosted candle deal.... Lets see... in the store I was in there was a soap/lotion sale as well, buy one at regular price, get another for a $1

My receipient has recd her candles, but Oddball's has not. We ordered hers from YC last Wednesday night. Almost a week ago. It was supposed to be shipped directly to her recipient. I hope they receive it soon!

I haven't even missed not getting mine yet because I am worried about Oddball's person getting theirs. Maybe tomorrow the mail carriers of America will bring surprises!!!!!!!;)

After waiting since Monday to get to my apartment complex office when they were open, I finally got my YCE today!

Phins_Jazy sent me my favorite fall scents - a jar of harvest and an adorable apple basket votive holder and a macIntosh sampler. It matches my new dishes exactly :D

And.. for my poor car that smells like beagle in the worst way, a clean cotton car jar!
Thank you so much Misty :)

Oh Jenzebelle I'm so glad you got it!!!! I was getting worried that someone else made off with your goodies. (Could very easily happen at my apt complex. :rolleyes: ) After shopping for your scents, Harvest has now become a new favorite of mine. :D Enjoy!!

I am so happy your package arrived safely!!! Gosh, it got there fast too!! I mailed the package here in NJ about lunchtime on Monday and it got to Washington in 2 days. The Postal Service did a good job this time.

I'm glad you were happy with your "goodies." These YC exchanges are so much fun!! They give us the opportunity to "meet" new DIS friends and get wonderful candles at the same time. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I haven't tried that before but it smells good. I also received 3 votives (pineapple paradise,hazelnut coffee, bay breeze), and a car jar clean cotton. Thanks again! :D :D

WooHOO ladies and gents - I have hit the motherload!!!!

First of all - I would like to say what an HONOR it was to have received my YCE from the Grand Poobah, himself - SHEP!

Shep - Thanks SO much!!

But, I'm not sure if I place more value on the contents, or the precious artwork on the outside of the box!! :) I might need to save this for when your daughter becomes a famous artist!! :)

Back to the subject at hand...
I got a Sunflower Housewarmer; lilac, hydrangea, & tulips votives; a couple peppermint tealights; a Jack Frost car jar; and a Eucalyptus tart!!

Not to mention another frameable piece of artwork from Shep's daughter!! :)

Thanks very much Shep - both for the great package, but also for organizing this whole thing. It's so great - because it gives us all a chance to try candles we may not have chosen for ourselves! Now I have many more favorites. (Not sure DH is <i>quite</i> as appreciative, though...:) )

To my recipient - I made the mistake of having YC mail my candles to me - I definitely should have had them sent directly to you. I got them in the mail today, and they're heading North (which is very little to go on, as just about everyone is North of me!) And, by the way, I neglected to include my DIS name - so if you receive a pkg from "Beth in Florida" - it's me! :)

I was really dragging today in the 100 degree heat but I felt much better when I opened my package and found a hazelnut coffee housewarmer as well as a scarecrow candle topper.

I got a Macintosh jar; pineapple, peach, cherry & berry votives (ALL MY FAVES)! I got a recipe/postcard (for Boston Baked beans) with a written note; a bright & colorful Boston MA T-SHIRT(!) AND, some candy (2 Red Lobster lollipops) from a confectioner in Boston!!

Breezy_Carol has made this the most fun exchange yet. She began by e-mailing me under an alias. I really enjoyed having a pen pal:)
She sent me two votives a Sunflower and an Island Mango. As well as a jar of Pineapple Paradise which is now my new favorite. The scent is awsome! I wish i could burn it right now but I do not think it would be appropriate to be lighting candles in a school;)

Thank you so much Carol it was a pleasure getting to know you:)

Ohh and I also used the box and bubble wrap for my exchangee. It is making it's way around the Dis:teeth: Someone should be getting theirs in the morning since Fed Ex just picked it up.

My YCE arrived today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) I did a little jig as I carried it in and was thrilled to see that my pal was DAN MURPHY!!!! :) :) :)

I was stunned by his generosity!!!! He sent an American Flag car jar, two tarts (Bay Breeze and Seaside Holiday -- two of my favorite summer scents!), two housewarmer jars (Buttercream and Vanilla Cookie --- Yuuuuummmm!!!!); and if that isn't delicious enough he sent along a large Chocolate Truffle candle!!! It's Dan's favorite scent, and it smells heavenly! And to top off the entire YC smorgasbord, Dan sent an adorable jar topper (for medium-large candles) with a very "sweet" theme -- beehives and honey!

Dan, I'm touched by your generosity and thoughtfulness! Your kindness will indeed bring me many, many hours of enjoyment! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hey guys! I am back at work on the DIS, still no phone service at home! When I got home Friday afternoon, I had a wonderful surprise sitting on the porch. MY YANKEE CANDLES!!!!!!!!!!:p I guess the mailman sat them on the porch, because oddball had gotten the mail out of the box at the drive and she didn't even see the box on the porch. She would have opened it for me!!!:(
But, I found it and got to open it!!!!!!

Kim Raye, never fear! The contents of the box were absolutely wonderful. I loved all of the things in my box. DH has already taken two of the candles away from me and burning them! That's OK, jhe put them in the kitchen so all could enjoy! I really loved the letter you sent. It made everything seem more personal! I like that!

I also still do not see a post from oddball's partner! I will check on that today! Don't give up!!!!!!;)

Oh, Pixie Power! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have made my day!

I had a knock at the door and there was the UPS man driving away. Oh could it be.... yes, it was! A huge box of Yankee Candle goodies!

Here's what I got:

1 - 22 oz. jar of Clean Cotton
1 - 3.7 oz jar of Island Mango
1 - 3.7 oz jar of Watermelon (on backorder)
3 - frosted votive candle holders
1 - Car Jar Home Sweet Home - American Flag
1 - Key Lime votive
1 - Cranberry votive
1 - Berry Bramble votive
2 - Cranberry tarts
2 - Wild Cherry tarts
2 - Berry Bramble tarts
2 - Key Lime Tarts

When I pulled out the Clean Cotton, it was very greasy on the outside. The weather has been so hot here and it was packaged on its side and had melted. Everything else arrived just fine. I called Yankee Candle and told them the situation and they are sending me another one to replace it. I will let you know when I get it. My hands smell real good though. I love that scent! I have never smelled it before.

Thank you once again! I just can't say enough for your kindness! I love all the scents and am eager to use them.

I am so glad that you liked your candles , and that you got them. I was worried that it would not get there. I have never sent anything over seas before. I loved shopping for this exchange. I hope you enjoy the scents.

I received a cherry housewarmer from Cindy B and 2 votives. They smell delicious! :) My exchange went out Fedex yesterday so it should be arriving soon. Thanks, Shep, for arranging this exchange. I had a little trouble getting out to put mine together but it was fun to do.

I came home just as UPS was leaving! :) I got lovely gift wrapped (Didn't want to open them they looked so nice) MacIntosh and Harvest candles. PERFECT for when the cooler weather comes around. In my mind, they will be great to burn in mid-September - early November when the scent will go with the season and folliage (can you tell I Yankee Candle obsessed? I need a candle for every season or month!)

Only one problem...there were 2 beautiful candles beautifuly wrapped and LOTS of styrofoam peanuts, but I didn't see any note or anything that would indicate who my very sweet exchanger was! (and I went through ALOT of peanuts! ;) ).

So whoever you are...Thank you!

I got mine yesterday from linny172, thanks Linda!

I got a 3.2 oz, votive and two tarts of seaside holiday. A beautiful votive cup and clean cotton sachet and car jar. I loved them all.

I pm'd her immediately because she was so worried. Linda accidently put down the wrong zip code, so mu box was a little slow. I told her not to worry, it would arrive in it's time, and it did.

Thanks again, Linda!

Skuttle, so glad it was there waiting for you. I mailed it and then found out you were at WDW. I've never burned those particular scents myself but am going to do so soon. They smell so clean and fresh. Glad you like them!

Beth - you can stop worrying it has arrived!!!

We have a running joke here about packages. I live in a very very section of town with only a part time PO - so we tend to have a built in delay.

I love the package - the first thing I could smell was cookies. So I searched for some fresh baked thought what a great bonus - cookies. Next best thing well even better for the diet - I love the cookie candle. I love the harvest also - never tried it before so this is gonna be great. I also love Green grass - thanks so much. This is my absolute fave scent. I love the smell of fresh mown grass.

The shade and holders are beautiful - you have wonderful taste and I am thrilled to be your exchangee anytime.

To my exchangee - yep it is coming I was a day late of the deadline but have a great excuse we were in Disneyland. So it on it's way with not far at all to travel.

Yay!!!!! I received my package today.

I got a Cape Cod Chatham Lighthouse Housewarmer, and the CUTEST topper. It is a beach scene (sand, starfish, dune grass, white dune picket fence) sooo cute.

Now, there was no note, so I am not 100% sure who I should be thanking. I think I know from the return address, but I am not sure. I am guessing it was you TIGGERSMOM, right?

Thanks so much!!!
