🎁 Candle making kits

A kit is the easiest way to get started or to give a gift. Make sure it includes a thermometer and the right size wicks.

What a good kit should include

Enough wax (at least 500 g / 1 lb), pre-tabbed wicks, wick centering tools, fragrance oils, dyes, a pouring pitcher and a thermometer. If it doesn’t come with a thermometer, buy one separately.

Who it’s for

Soy kits are the easiest; rolled beeswax sheet kits are ideal with kids because there’s nothing to melt; wax melt kits are quick and very fragrant.
