    Just when you thought the Yankee Candle fun couldn't get any more, well, fun – you can even personalise Yankee Candles. But it doesn't simply stop with a nice message or the person's name emblazoned on the front. Oh no. It's even better than that.

    Choose from a large candle or small pillar candle to personalise and you can even add your own personal photo on the front of your candle. So whether you want to gift a cute picture of yourself to your Nana, or of the happy couple for their wedding present, adorn your Yankee Candle with your favourite picture.

    Another great thing about the brand is the huge variation in sizes available, ranging from dinky tealights to huge glass jars as well as diffusers and car air fresheners. On that note, below are a selection of best-selling Yankee Candle scents in all shapes and sizes; why not treat yourself to a Clean Cotton or Black Cherry while you're here?
