PITTSBURGH, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- WYK Candles, a distinctive line of fine candles inspired by nature, will be featured in the "New York's Newest" show, part of the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF).

New York's Newest presents 250 exhibitors new to the NYIGF, spanning all categories and featuring fresh and innovative lines from key retailers, manufacturers and magazines. It will be held August 14-18 at Pier 92, not far from the main show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.

ABOUT WYK CANDLES

WYK candles made their show debut in July at AmericasMart® Atlanta, the nation's largest wholesale gift & home furnishings marketplace, featuring buyers from every U.S. state and 89 countries.

The line of candles was also featured at the 2010 Women's U.S. Open in Oakmont. All of the pro golfers and top USGA executives received WYK candles in their gift bags.

Hand-poured by candle artisans, WYK candles are made of 100% soy wax from beans farmed in the United States, with 100% cotton wicks primed in bees' wax. They have a 30-40% longer burn time than soy blend or non-soy products, are carcinogen- and toxin-free, leave no soot or black residue, and come in signature scents featuring cosmetic-grade fragrance oils and essential oils.

The candle's distinctive package design has been recognized by design professionals at the American Advertising Federation show in Pittsburgh with a Silver ADDY award.

WYK is currently hiring a national network of sales representatives focusing on the gift industry.
