yankee_candle YankeeCandle.com is running a great deal on their jar candles online. They are currently giving customers 2 free candles of the same size for each 2 they buy. While, you can order as many as you like, all the candles in an order need to be the same size, since the coupon code differs by size. There are no scent exclusions. This deal is scheduled to run through 11/29.

Here are the codes:

Large = CRM911L
Medium = CRM911M
Small = CRM911S

These would make nice gifts, and half price isn’t bad at all. Flat rate shipping for orders under $100 is only $5. Some shoppers are reporting, that although this says it can’t be combined with other deals , if you add the Collector’s edition candle in your cart, before anything else, it will show up at the discounted price of $5 with $30+ purchase.

Don’t let Christmas money problems ruin your good time. Fun, inexpensive craft projects, not only make for some great memories to share with your children, but can also supply you with some very special holiday decorations.

1. Simple pieces of construction paper, or even printer paper can readily be made into personalized placemats, or place cards. Even very young children can create these, and each person will have a lovingly crafted art work awaiting them at the table.

2. Have a tree decorating party with your kids. Gather supplies such as, cardboard, construction paper, glue, glitter, sequins, buttons, feathers, pinecones, string, ribbon, toilet paper/paper towel tubes and pipecleaners, whatever you have around the house, that looks interesting, will do. Let the kids go wild!

3. Older kids can handsew their own holiday character pillows. Proudly display the result, imperfection and all, that’s the charm of it.
