Decisive Living


Yesterday’s Best is a Hot Trend for the Home

(ARA) - Mother’s Day heralds the arrival of warm breezes, green landscapes and family get-togethers. Whether you live near enough to see your mom every day, or stay in touch via phone and e-mail, a fresh and festive gift is the perfect way to show you care. The scents and colors of spring can perk up the darkest corner of your home, and this season’s hottest trends bring a burst of summer fun. Turning up everywhere from handbags to kitchen crockery is a cherry theme. The bright color and pattern of bunches of cherries is a cheerful and whimsical way to decorate and offers a fresh take on an old-fashioned motif. Go a step further by combining looks and fragrance with Juicy Cherry candles from Yankee Candle. The sweet scent will remind you of Mom’s homemade pies and the bold red color packs a punch without overpowering.

Or head to the orchard with the scent of crisp green apples. Memories will flood back with their mouthwatering aroma, plus the fun-loving color adds a bit of playfulness to any room. Light green is a top trend in home décor and a few carefully selected elements from the Granny Smith Collection from Yankee Candle are sure to add style. Décor items, such as potpourri bowls and tea light holders make perfect gifts and add a warming touch.

“Not only do scented candles provide a festive glow and a pleasing aroma, they are extremely versatile and can complement any other item,” says Susan Stockman of Yankee Candle, a Massachusetts-based candle designer and retailer. “Whatever your décor or interests, chances are good there are fragrant candles and accent gifts that are the perfect match.”

If you’re looking for the right gift for someone who has fully embraced the retro trend, take a cue from this season’s hottest fashions. Lady-like styles with a touch of glamour are all the rage and the look makes an easy transition to home décor. From funky bright colors to touches of vintage fabric, the best of the 1940s and 50s is finding a place in every room of the house. Bring back those glamorous days with a gift that will be proudly displayed. It’s not often that the container holding the gift is just as appreciated as the items inside! A hatbox filled with treats is sure to please, and can be used again and again to store special items in a most attractive way.

The Classic Mom hat box from Yankee Candle is the perfect gift for the special woman in your life this Mother’s Day. An affectionate fashion statement, each exclusively designed hat box is filled with a jar candle, small Classic Mom jar shade and coordinating small plate. Or go for glamour with the Satin Hat Box gift basket, featuring a Fresh Cut Roses jar candle, three Samplers votive candles and a box of 12 tea lights, plus a Classic Mom votive holder and tea light holder.
