So you can bet that fans of the fragrant candles are hitting their local Card Factory, after hearing there's a set reduced to just £2.
Given that it's a set of six, it works out at just 33p each.
Lynsay took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her find, after stumbling across the set in her local high street store.
"Great sale on in Card Factory just now," she wrote, adding that she'd found the deal in the Edinburgh store.
"I got these Yankee votives for £2.
"They had loads of other good bargains too!"
The same set - containing the soft cotton, pink sand sunset, exotic fruits, cherry vanilla, vanilla frosting and pomegranate coconut votives - retails for £12 in Argos.
"Ideal for Xmas!" one person commented on the post.
To which Lynsay replied: "Exactly why I bought a few!"
"If these are in your shop keep me one and I will get down a day for them," someone else wrote, tagging a friend.
Bargain lovers race to their local ASDA to snap up cult favourite Yankee candles for over five times cheaper than elsewhere
The votive set is likely to be even more popular thanks to the fact it contains one of Yankee's most popular scents - cherry vanilla.
"I bought this a month ago and burned it every night since!" one person said of a candle in the fruity fragrance.
"It smells amazing and will be repurchasing!"
"I am so over the moon with this candle and how it smells throughout my home," another gushed.
" It can burn for a very long time and the smell fills the room in minutes."
"Beautiful fragrant candle that once you take the lid of you instantly smell how strongly scented it is," a third commented.
"You can smell both the vanilla and cherry and they compliment each other so well.
"Once lit, the aroma feels up the room and you feel relaxed.
"Highly recommend!"
As someone else agreed: "This has to be one of my favourite scents in a candle.
"Both the vanilla and cherry complement each other to give off a very fruity but not to strong fragrance.
"The scent circulates the whole room."

Beloved coastal cat who had run-ins with police honoured in new statue
Saltburn is mourning a beloved local community member and has honoured him in a brand new statue by the pier. Only, the honoree isn't human. Hendrix was a beloved local cat who frequented the seaside, letting himself into businesses and even arcades. When the beloved moggy suddenly passed away last year, the community rallied around him, raising thousands to make a small statue in honour of the cat, who left a big impact. Owner Nathan Bye, 40, told Metro he and his partner got Hendrix, named after legendary musician Jimi, when he was just a kitten. Hendrix's mum was a house cat, but his dad was a wild cat, which may have contributed to his adventurous side. He was also a polydactyl cat, meaning he had an extra toe. His 'thumbs' gave him extra-large paws. Before Nathan and his family moved to Saltburn six years ago, they lived next to the Metro in Whitley Bay. Hendrix would frequent the station, earning him his first title: Hendrix the Station Cat. 'He got on buses and metros often. He was a well-known character in Whitley Bay,' Nathan recalled. Upon the family's move to Saltburn, Hendrix went off and found his new spot: not the station, but the Saltburn Pier. His furry face became a familiar sight in the arcades, fish and chip shops and local hotels. Nathan had already created a Facebook page for Hendrix when they lived in Whitley Bay, but concerned residents in Saltburn were calling him often to pick up Hendrix. Soon, the town learned Hendrix was right where he wanted to be – and they began posting photos of his adventures onto the page. 'The thing about Hendrix is he wasn't scared of people. He would go into homes, shops, cafes, and up to anyone. He wasn't scared of dogs either,' Nathan said. This fearlessness did lead to some police run-ins, however. Hendrix was escorted back home in a police vehicle after cops found him lying in the middle of a road near the beach. Another time, police called him to pick up Hendrix because he was 'eyeing up' a man's pet eagle at the beach. A local fish and chip shop accidentally locked him inside when they closed for the day, and returned to find that Hendrix had eaten his fair share of their fish supply. When Hendrix passed away last September, chats about making a memorial for the beloved moggy began quickly. 'We found a cat sculptor and raised the money. People from Saltburn, Whitley Bay, and even around the world donated to it,' Nathan said. 'There were lots of people at the unveiling ceremony this week. It was a great way to celebrate Hendrix.' Dozens showed up to celebrate the small cat who made a big difference in the town of Saltburn. The town's mayor also made a speech. The love for Hendrix was apparent in the smiles on attendees' faces, as his little statue was unveiled. Most residents in Saltburn and neighbouring towns have memories of the tabby. More Trending Helen Raine, from Redcar, told the BBC she encountered Hendrix in August 2020 during an outdoor yoga class, and he managed to raise their spirits even in the midst of lockdown. 'Our teacher could hardly hold her 'downward dog' yoga position. She was shaking with laughter as Hendrix proceeded to start moving on her mat with her, around her legs and arms and under her tummy,' she said. 'My friends and I have never forgotten that evening. It was just the good old laugh we'd needed after a long time in a strange year.' If you're in Saltburn this year and see a small bronze cat statue, give it a head pat – Hendrix would have loved it.

Peregrine Falcon chick living on iconic Glasgow building dies after 'bird flu' scare
Jack, named after lovable Still Game character Jack Jarvis, was one of two chicks born in April on the gothic spire of the Gilbert Scott Building at the University of Glasgow. A peregrine falcon chick which lived on the roof of a Scots university has sadly been put to sleep after suspected 'bird flu'. Jack, named after lovable Still Game character Jack Jarvis, was one of two chicks born in April on the gothic spire of the Gilbert Scott Building at the University of Glasgow. Jack hatched alongside brother Victor in the spring at the nest of proud parents Bonnie and Clyde. The stunning raptors were being closely monitored by a the Glasgow Peregrine Project. The duo inspired by the Craiglang favourites captured the attention of birdwatchers and the public with regular updates being shared on social media - with a series of cameras around the University campus capturing the action. This week Jack and Victor were all set to spread their wings with a series of attempts to spread their wings. But whilst Victor attempted his first fledgling concerns began to grow over Jack. The project shared a series of worrying updates earlier in the week. On Wednesday morning they shared that Jack was "seriously unwell". A rescue mission was launched that day which involved a member wincing themselves to a lower ledge on the tower. Jack was taken into the care of the Scottish SPCA but after assessing him he was deemed likely to have contracted bird flu. Vets were forced to put him down to "ease his suffering". In a statement. Glasgow Peregrine Project said: "It is with sadness that we must report that after pulling out all the stops and effecting a rescue, Jack has passed away. "The UoG and all the Project team have monitored him through the night and worked throughout the day to put the rescue plan in place. Work that would ordinarily be done in a month was done in a day to expedite Jack's care. "The SSPCA assessed Jack and deemed that he had likely contracted Bird Flu and sadly, had to put him down to ease his suffering. A video was posted showing the daring rescue with a member of the project hanging over the hedge of the tower and being carefully lowered down. He was spotted wearing full protective gear and a mask. The project say the rest of the birds will be "closely monitored". They added: "Given this circumstance, we will continue round the clock monitoring of the entire family. Your sightings and any significant observations would be greatly appreciated." Tributes poured in for Jack with well-wishers taking to the Facebook post to express their condolences.

Poor Jack, I was so hoping he would be okay. But wonderful what you have managed to do, so quickly and effectively." Elaine Elizabeth said: "Oh that is so so sad. Thank you for caring & making sure he didn't suffer any more. RIP Jack." Yung Locarno said he could hear mum Bonnie giving out "distress cries" after Jack was taken away. He posted: "Very sad news about Jack. Saw him this morning on the ledge and he was clearly struggling, and suffering. "Was in the West quad for an hour or so this evening (after Jack was taken away) and Mum, Dad and Victor were all high up on the spire. Parents were trying to encourage Victor to fly, which he did eventually - a small circle round, high above the quad then back to the spire. "They all seem fine as far as I could tell, Mum was giving out a lot of distress cries after Jack was taken away - which is normal I would expect. Here's hoping they are all well and remain so." The Scottish SPCA said; "The Scottish SPCA was contacted by the project team with concerns about the falcon's health. Following a thorough assessment and consultation with our experts at the National Wildlife Rescue Centre, it was determined that, to prevent further suffering, the only humane option was to carry out euthanasia. "This decision was not taken lightly and was made in the best interest of the bird's welfare."

Women's Aid slam Sabrina Carpenter album cover for 'promoting violence and control'
A Glasgow women's charity has slammed Sabrina Carpenter's latest album cover, saying it promotes 'violence and control'. The Espresso singer confirmed that her seventh album, Man's Best Friend, will be released on August 29. Alongside the announcement, she shared the cover art for the upcoming album, which has divided audiences. In the picture, Carpenter is pictured on her hands and knees next to a man, who is pulling her hair. Glasgow Women's Aid, a charity providing refuge for victims of domestic abuse, slammed the cover, calling it 'regressive'. In a statement shared to Facebook, the charity said the image is a throwback to 'tired tropes' that reduce women to pets, props, or possessions. A spokesperson added that the album promotes 'an element of violence and control'. 'Picturing herself on all fours, with a man pulling her hair and calling it 'Man's Best Friend' isn't subversion,' the statement read. The charity added: 'We've fought too hard for this. We get Sabrina's brand is packaged up retro glam, but we really don't need to go back to the tired stereotypes of women. 'Sabrina is pandering to the male gaze and promoting misogynistic stereotypes, which is ironic given the majority of her fans are young women.' Fans also voiced concerns about the cover on Carpenter's post, with one writing: 'lol this cover art is so disgusting. as a fan I don't like it.' Another added: 'Love Sabrina – but this picture – why is the man in there like that? It's not a very empowering image for women. I think it's a mistake since most of her fans are women, and as a DV survivor, I find it uncomfortable, and I'd rather see her empowered than like that. I don't wanna be negative, I'm sorry, maybe it's just me.' Other fans were excited about the release, with one writing: 'Omg, thank you for this. My day is made.' Another wrote: 'Sabrina is coming for album of the year, artist of the year, pop vocal album, all of it, and I'm here for it.'
