Yankee Candles

 

On a cold, December night in South Hadley, Massachusetts, a high school student sat at his family's kitchen table. He decided to make a candle for his mom because it would be a unique gift, something she would really appreciate. He created a candle from everyday materials he found there in the kitchen: household wax, a red crayon, some string for a wick and a milk carton for the mold. A neighbor saw the candle and convinced him to sell it to her. And that's how Yankee Candle was born.
