Boots has cut the price of the Yankee Candle Autumn Winter Star Gift Set from £60 to £29.50 as part of its weekly Star Gift sale, which reduces bestselling brands in the run-up to Christmas. The set includes eight winter-themed products, making it a potential present for fragrance lovers or a way to prepare a home for the festive season.
What's Inside the Gift Set
The standout item is the White Spruce and Grapefruit Medium (386g) Jar Candle, worth £24.99 on its own. Its top and middle notes blend tart grapefruit, pomelo, and orange with spruce, pine and fir needles, while a base of vanilla bean, musk, white cedar and balsam adds depth.
Shoppers also receive two small 122g signature tumblers in Vanilla Cupcake and Cinnamon Stick scents, plus three mini votives in Sage & Pine, Warm Cashmere and Red Apple Wreath. The set is completed with a Christmas Eve wax melt and a Black Cherry wax melt, designed for use in a wax warmer such as the Yankee Candle Electric Wax Melt Burner, available for £17.99.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
The gift set has not yet received any reviews from shoppers. However, the large Cinnamon Stick candle holds a 4.6 out of five star-rating based on 19,855 reviews on Amazon, where it is on sale for £23.99 instead of £29.99.
One satisfied shopper said: "I bought this as a gift for Christmas for a family member who is completely obsessed with Yankee candles I would highly recommend the cinnamon scent. It smells absolutely beautiful almost like a cake or cookies cooking in the oven." Another wrote: "Ultra strong scent. Makes the whole apartment smell like Christmas. May be a little too strong for some people, but if you're looking for something to really pack a punch, then this is definitely it."
Not all feedback was positive. A three-star review noted: "I always buy Yankee for it's quality and longevity. This scent was barely noticeable and the candle itself did not burn evenly." A two-star review added: "But the scent is too strong. I generally have to stop using it after a short period, and given the circumference, it's likely to cause an uneven melt."
Elsewhere, NEOM's Feel Good Mood Boost Duo has been reduced by 20% from £25 to £20 at LookFantastic, featuring a travel-sized Happiness Scented Candle and a Great Day Magnesium Body Butter. The Winter Mini Home Scenting Set costs £35 at The White Company, including a mini diffuser, mini home spray, and votive candle in the brand's Winter fragrance.
