Yankee Candles

Have you guys seen the Halloween stuff yet? OMG, its SO cute!!

Thanks for the heads up on the F&F sale Tara!:thumbsup2
 
I LOVE Yankee Candle!!!!! We went to Williamsburg,VA on vacation this July, and SURPRISE! a HUGH Yankee Candle Store. I didn't know it was in VA. My DH groaned, but after taking the whole family inside (including in-laws) they were so happy! It was a great place! My youngest DD "made" a candle. My mother-in-law is hooked on Yankee Candles now. She was a little before,because she would walk in my house,and love the smell ( they are always burning in my house) but never buy them. She finally bought a few after visiting the hugh store in VA. I have a question for all you Yankee Candle employee's- when they discontinue a scent,how or where do I look for it to keep buying it? example= Sicilan Orange. Do they just discontinue it,and that's it. Thanks guys!

We were in Williamsburg earlier this year and I really wanted to go to this store. Unfortunately my family was really hungry so we had diner at Cabella's first and by the time we got out they were just closing. It looked really neat though.
 
May have to partake in the FF and family sale! I usually only buy at outlet if you have one near you ( mine is 1.5 hours aways but so worth it) I have found great deals on YC their! DH and I went to Deerfield Ma, to YC flag store, for ann. We stayed at B&B and made a romantic weekend out of it a few years ago; it was awesome. Would love to go back soon!
 
It's official - Friends & Family sale next Thursday & Friday 9/10-9/11....50% off all wax, all home fragrancing and 25% off accessories. 6 large jars for $69, 6 medium jars for $59 and 6 small jars for $26. Pencil it in!
 

Someone may have already mentioned this, I didn't read all the responses, but I find really good prices on them at Kohls. Plus, they have such great sales there and are always sending out coupons.:goodvibes
 
Just thought I would post my personal experience. I was in our local (and only nearby) Yankee store last friday and I popped in to see what new Halloween stuff they had and I asked the sales lady about the upcoming sale and she asked how I knew and I told her I had a friend who worked at another location. She said at our store it was not a public event and, as you said previously, they were only allowed to invite 5 people. I told her I was surprised b/c my friend had said at her store it was open to everyone who knew about it. She asked if I was a regular at our store, which I am and she went to the back and got me an invitation on which she wrote "Invited by" and her name. It said the details as posted above (6 for $69, etc). It also stated each employee could only invited 5 friends or family and something about sales not counting towards their yearly total. So basically I just wanted to let ya'll know that the restrictions might vary store by store. I think I just lucked out and got an invitation. I promised her I would come back and spends lots of money, lol. Which I probably will....
 
I've been to the flagship store in Deerfield, Mass.- if any of you ever have the chance, go there! Even if your family pouts and stays in the car. It is just so awesome there, and they have a sale room.

I happened into a regular store location yesterday and found my FAVE candle- Cinamon Stick, which I haven't been able to find in about a year! :banana:

Thanks for the heads up. I have the printed flyer as an email - anyone that's going maybe should PM me their email & I'll forward you the flyer/invitation to take with you, along with my name & store phone number if they want to call & verify that you're my Cousin Minnie. Ok Cousin Ariel sounds better...Cousin Aurora, Cousin Daisy, you get the picture! I know our region is very leniant with this sale - you just say you're there for it & no questions asked. It looks like some other stores might literally send out invites!

I'm off to bed now but will check my PMs tomorrow & send anyone an invite that wants one.

I agree the Flagship is a great experience! Our store runs a bus trip up there once a year.

Cinnamon Stick is a Treasure Scent - meaning it's retired but they did a special pour of it in limited quantities, for a limited time. I love that one too! One of my old faves, Banana Nut Bread, is coming back as a Treasure in just a few weeks. I can't wait!
 
I was at the store in Williamsburg today and they have votives and tarts on sale for $1 this weekend. A few other buy one get one half price deals on certain scents.

Sent you a PM. I would love a flyer/invitation.

I sent the invitations via email to those of you that PM-ed me- if anyone is having trouble viewing it, or if I missed anyone just let me know. Here is my info to write on your invite in case the store wants to call to verify:

Tara D. - store #432 Center Valley, PA - phone #610-797-6981

My staff already knows to confirm that yes Tara is a friend of anyone who calls to ask!

Off to Yankee Candle World....Key Lime Pie is coming in today, I haven't smelled that one in years!

Tara, you're very kind to do this!! Very helpful, especially in this economy :goodvibes
 
Yes that is correct - ALL wax is 50% off on 9/10-11 but will NOT be advertised. Years ago these events were much more secret - you literally were allowed to have 5 friends or family come & that was it, and they kept track of it. In the last 18 months or so, I'm guessing because sales are down, they have extended it to anyone who says they are there for the sale. When I post the reminder I will include my store's phone number for you to take with you. That way if there's any question if you're a friend or family, they can call my store to verify that you ARE a friend or family of an employee (me!) Oh Lord I better give my team a heads up that they may be getting a ton of calls that day from "Tara's friends & family!"

They usually also have deals if you purchase jars in quantities of 6. Last F&F sale it was 6 large jars for $69 (retail would be 149.94 on those)...but every sale they seem to "up" the price...so it might be 6 for $72...I will post when we get the official info on this. All they've told us so far is that it will be 9/10-11.

Unfortunately F&F is NOT available online.

Tara would I have to come to your store or could I go to any store? Also do mean customers outnumber nice or vice versa? I live in Baltimore and I was interested in getting seasonal work. I used to be a bartender but recently stopped and let me tell you I don't miss rude guests and kissing their butts. I am really a super nice person but I got burned out. I wonder if people are as bad as they are in restaurants? I was looking for something that I wouldn't go home feeling crappy, something that I would happy to do not dread. I guess low stress.
