Frequently asked questions
When should I make candles to give as Christmas gifts?
Leave plenty of time: allow for a burn test, adjust the wick and fragrance, and label and wrap your candles without rushing. Each candle must be completely cool and set before you light or package it.
Which fragrances smell most like Christmas?
Spicy, warm ones: cinnamon and orange, vanilla, cedar, incense and forest scents.
Can I put cinnamon sticks inside the candle?
Better on the outside, as a decoration on the jar or tied with string. Inside the wax they can catch fire along with the wick.
Will my order arrive in time?
Order early in December: carrier delivery times get longer in the weeks before Christmas.
