Check out some amazing gift options below and the best part, each of these makers is set up at The One of Kind Show so you can shop them in person from Nov 24.- Dec. 4.

Ok you will hear me say this a lot, but when you are shopping local it is true, these aren't just candles, they are art! Seriously they are even better in person, full of texture and life, you won't even want to burn them. But I must warn you, it's bad luck to not burn a candle, so you have to burn them at least a little. Find them online or at the One of a Kind Show Booth E43.
