‘Tis the season to celebrate, and with it comes much anticipation and preparation for those of us that like to host parties.  What better way to show your appreciation for all their hard work than with a beautiful and thoughtful gift for your host/hostess?

American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand is offering you the opportunity and convenience to do just that with their line of candles that can be found at your local Walmart.  Just visit their candle aisle and look for the branding sign.  It’s hard to miss, especially with the iconic jars Yankee Candle® brand is known for.  What’s even better than being able to walk right in to your nearest Walmart for these candles?  Shopping online for them!  Be sure to visit the Walmart assortment page to see more of what American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand has to offer.  They truly are the gift that keeps on giving!

With so many delicious fragrances available I just know it won’t be hard to find one you like!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that my favorite fragrance Buttercream by Yankee Candle® brand was available in this line as well branded with the name Buttercream Frosting.  It’s been my go-to fragrance for years.  It easily spans the seasons, but is especially perfect around this time of year, and honestly is the only vanilla scented fragrance that I can tolerate with my allergies.  Whenever I smell it, it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling I associate with Fall/Winter, and my appreciation of it never falters .  I was even more surprised to find that I could get a 19 oz jar at almost half the costs that I would normally pay for it.  You can bet I went to town scooping up varying sizes for myself and my gift!

Now that I had my focal piece for my host/hostess gift I pulled together the rest of my supplies and got to work.  Here is what you’ll need to create your own!

An assortment of sizes of American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand candles. Shown here: (1) 19 oz Jar, (2) 4 oz Jars, (2) Votive sized candles

Basket

Two Glass Votive Jars

Shredded Paper for packing.

Tinsel Wire Ribbon

Gift Tag

And here is how I put it all together.

1. Start with an empty basket.
2. Fill basket half way with shredded paper.
3. Add 19 oz jar horizontally to the top section of the basket.
4. Add the two 4 oz jars to the middle section of the basket.
5. Place glass votives under each section of jars.
6. Place votive candles on each side of the bottom votive.
7. Apply your “handle” by wrapping the tinsel wire around the handle of the basket, twisting it to secure.  Repeat this step on the other side of the basket. (This step can be skipped if you feel your basket will be out of balance.  Mine worked out perfectly but I suggest giving it a test over a soft landing space just in case.)
8. Add gift tag to basket handle.
   

 If you are feeling overwhelmed by the season yourself, just keep in mind how much your host/hostess will love their gift, and how quickly you can put it together.   It took me all of five minutes and I know you can do the same.And just look at how pretty that is!  You’ll probably want to keep it for yourself, haha!  

What’s your favorite American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand fragrance?  I’d love to know!
