Differences Between Yankee Candle and Goose Creek Candles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So, we know there are several similarities between these two popular brands. But, even with the similarities, there are several differences that leads us to choose Yankee Candle as the better of the two companies. The two biggest differences between these two brands are the amounts of size and fragrance options provided to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the differences between these two brands, is the amount of size options you have. Goose Creek offers four different candles sizes to their customers. They can pick from 24 ounces, 16 ounces, 14.5 ounces, or 7 ounces. The majority of their candle lines, including their candles for men and aromatherapy lines, are offered in the 16 ounce candle size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From these sizes, you have a few different types of candle styles to choose from. Their large jar candles come in the classic jar that most people think of when they think of Goose Creek. These jars come with two wicks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 16 ounce candles come in smaller glass jar with a metal lid. These candles can come with two or three wicks. Instead of just using clear glass, you can get tinted or colored glass with these candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their 14.5 ounce candles are sold in their modern farmhouse collection. These candles come in a white tinted glass jar with a word written in large handwritten style letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 7 ounce candles come in small clear glass jars with metal lids that screw onto the candle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re looking for a specific fragrance, you won’t be given a very wide range of sizes to choose from. Goose Creek tends to have different fragrances for each size of candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yankee Candle offers a wider range of candle sizes for their customers. When you buy from Yankee Candle, you can choose from 22 ounces, 19.5 ounces, 18 ounces, 14.5 ounces 12 ounces, 7 ounces, 3.7 ounces, 1.75 ounces, 1.3 ounces, and .35 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These candles come in varying styles, too. Their iconic jar style candle gives you three different sizes, their large jar (22 ounces), their medium jar (14.5 ounces), and their small jar (3.7 ounces). These jars use one wick. You can also get a 22 ounce candle in a tumbler form with two wicks instead of one. Their small tumblers are 7 ounces and only have one wick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their 19.5 ounce candles come in a square jar and uses two wicks. Their remaining sizes come in pillar jars, as votive candles, mini candles, and tealight candles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
