The home fragrance haul contains 6 candles and 2 wax melts, with each item working out at just over £4
Boots have slashed the price of a ‘gorgeous’ Yankee Candle gift set – and it’s perfect for Mother’s Day gifting. The Yankee Candle Spring Summer 2025 Starbuy Giftset was originally £65, but is now 50% off at £32.50.
Designed with the warmer seasons in mind, the set contains six candles and two wax melts in a mix of sweet and floral scents, with the brand saying spring will be ‘in the air’ thanks to the expertly crafted aromas. The home fragrance haul is ideal for anyone who’s obsessed with candles, and comes in a box that’s ready to gift.
The largest of the candles is a signature medium jar candle in Midnight Jasmine, which is alone priced at £24.99 at Boots. So for an extra £7.51, you can get the impressive-looking set instead.
‘I asked Next employee to choose my outfit and more than one item made it into my wardrobe’
‘I tried LookFantastic beauty egg that gets Medik8, Elemis and Rodial products for under £9 each’
Speaking on the candle, one Boots shopper wrote: “Midnight Jasmine is the most beautiful smell, the compliments I have had when I have guests over how wonderful my home smells. I always buy the same fragrance. I would highly recommend.”
However, on the Yankee Candle site, one shopper found it a little too subtle, commenting: “Very pretty scent. It is a repurchase. I just wish it was a bit stronger.”
As well as the medium candle, there are also two signature small tumbler candles in Wild Orchid and Iced Berry Lemonade, alongside three mini filled votive candles in Lemon Lavender, Midsummer’s Night, and Bayside Cedar.
Two wax melts were also included, one in Clean Cotton and the other in Pink Sands. For a similar price, you get way more variety than this Spa Trio Votive Candles from The White Company, priced £35, or the Floral, Herby, Woody Votive Candle Set from Plumb and Ashby, which costs £33.
In the reviews section, the Yankee Candle set has nothing but five-star reviews. Annie said: “I love these Yankee Candle sets. Always good value.”
Liss wrote: “Great set with a good selection of candles of various sizes and fragrances. All candles have a lovely scent. Gorgeous gift and good value for money at half price. Would recommend.”
Binzy said the gift set was “value at half the price” and added: “I had one as a gift, so bought one as a gift for a friend.”
If your mum isn’t one for candles, how about a beauty box instead? Marks and Spencer has launched a brand new edit containing ‘over £130’ worth of skincare and fragrance – but shoppers can snap it up for £30. The Made for an Icon Beauty Box stars seven items in total, three of which are full-sized, with four travel-friendly picks, too.
Back at Boots, the Origins Round The Clock Radiance Skincare Gift Set is packed with premium skincare goodies that would usually cost you £92.90 and is down to £26. Or you can buy the Yankee Candle gift set for half price here.
