Everyone knows Yankee Candles, a million different scents in every imaginable variety. You can purchase them virtually everywhere, Hallmark, Bed Bath and Beyond and of course the Yankee Candle stores that have been popping up in malls. So what is the big deal about a Yankee Candle Flagship Store? A LOT!
When the store in Williamsburg was being built we all drove by wondering why they needed such a big place for candles. When it opened we found that it was actually several stores in one. Yes there are the lovely candles and you can find all 400 scents here, but you can also create your own candles and make wax molds of your kids hands. Within what is more like the Yankee Candle Village you will find a cafe and dining area, home store with novelty and specialty gifts including all the Vera Bradly handbags you ever wanted. Got a sweet tooth? Visit the fudge and candy shops!
Your kids may roll their eyes when you mention going to "Yankee Candle" but once inside they are sure to see the toy train circling the ceiling and follow it straight back to the toy shop and adjoining Christmas Area. Even my two year old was dazzled, "Mommy, lots of stars!" The Christmas room features handmade ornaments, the full collection of Department 56 with homes villages and snow babies and animated scenes galore. Stay more than five minutes and your will see real snow!
In true Yankee Candle tradition the entire Village is decorated no matter what the season and for the holidays there is a candle in every window. Disregard what you think you know about Yankee and make sure to visit during your next trip to Williamsburg.
