After coming to the deerfield warehouse sale for girls day out for more years then I can count. I was sad to see this year that the offerings were less and the prices higher.In years past we were able to use the coupons sent out advertising the sale and school vacation Activities.. as well as dollar amount off coupons At the sale. This year we were told no. I must say this day long adventure for us girls is looking like our time and money maybe spent better somewhere else.. sorry yankee!
Took 4 pre-teens on a Sunday afternoon. The kids loved it. They made their own jar candles and dipped their own tapers which they really enjoyed. The store has a huge variety of candles as well as other unique merchandise. We got ice cream. I was less than impressed with the service level. My son wanted "bin" candy....but the register in the candy section was closed. So we had to go way over to the main checkout which was not only inconvenient, but even after I told her what I was doing (still shopping) she didn't apologize for the inconvenience and still proceeded to recite her "goodbye speech". It was also hard to find staff. The kids also loved the Christmas section and the fact that it snowed in the store every minutes. I also found a lot of deals /sales throughout the store.
My Husband and I Visited Yankee Candle On December 28 2014. We were there at 10.00 am when they opened. We Walked through the Store Checking out all The Displays and Beautiful Decorations. We were in front of the Irish Ornament Room and there was a Bench. I decided we should talk a picture together. When I sat down I got the Surprise of my Life. The Bench Was Full Of Splinters and I got several on the Back's of both of my Thighs. I Was Very Distressed by this being a Loyal Customer. I found someone and reported it. No Real Concern For me, Just get the Bench Out of There. I Believe When Something Goes Wrong Especially Maintenance on a Bench that 1000s of people walk through. I've called and Complained.I Was Told We Are not at Liberty to Offer You Anything. You must File A Complaint with the Corporate Office! SERIOUSLY I THOUGHT. GUESS THAT'S WHERE IM LEFT. IT JUST AMAZES ME THEY ARE AT FAULT AND DO NOTHING........
This place is Christmas year round....huge store with many things to buy and look at. Fun for all ages...you will feel like a kid going through here. Tons of candles to choose from!!!'
What a surprise when we walked into this store! Toy section (moon dough, train table, books, etc) to play with while you shop. Santa was in his workshop, themed rooms to walk through, samples, ice cream, jewelry, ornaments, so much more! We made a custom candle using all sorts of fun scents. A real experience stopping at this store.
Don't take your kids! They'll want everything, but all the toys are a joke. The food is too expensive too.
My husband had always told me about this place and said the little stores in our Florida malls were nothing compared with this place. I never imagined a place this big with just about everything I could imagine for candle scents. Even though it was a few days before Christmas we were still able to navigate fairly easy. It was close to dinner time and we were headed to the night of Lights in Springfield. We decided to go back on our way back home after Christmas and hit a huge sale! This is a must do if we ever travel back through New England again!
The Santa had a flat affect, totally not engaging with the kids, did not even greet people as they arrived and sat to paint the horse. He just gave a few dour instructions, said don't use much paint and that was it! Mrs. Claus was just as bad. And this event was not even well attended! They were not busy, just seemed totally uninterested and did not even say hello or smile! If your child thought he might paint a horse with Santa - or even get a hello out of Santa or Mrs Claus - forget it!! Would not return for any such acitivities.
The store is huge. It really makes you happy and warm since it is all decked out in Christmas style. However, it is extremely busy around Christmas. The lines were crazy. But kids seem to love it there. You can make your own candle and there is a "snowing forest". They have every Yankee Candle smell you could imagine! They also have a lot of collectibles and other cool items. They also have a ton of ornaments!
What a great place to visit! You can't miss enjoying yourself here. Candles galore, snacks, popcorn, entertainment and snow throughout the year!!!! You just have to go!!!!
