$20 for $40 Worth of Candles and Gifts
Citrus and cinnamon aromas rise from 12-ounce jar candles ($9.99) for up to 60 hours, and hurricane shells emit light and colour like stained glass ($24.99–$29.99). Scents of maple pecan and butterscotch emanate from the banana-cheesecake crock candle ($12.99), and flared-square birthstone candles ($15.99) make memorable gifts.
Crafty Candles
Christine Dinney, the creative leader behind Crafty Candles, first discovered her love of melted wax and her gift at creating beautiful candles when she received a candle-making kit for Christmas. The gift launched her career, one that’s dedicated to the making and sharing of Canadian-made artisan candles. Crafted from local supplies whenever possible, the richly scented, lead-free flickering forms light up rooms with their unusual shapes, such as cinnamon rolls and fruit tarts. Crafty Candles' candle makers hand pour refined paraffin, soy, and wax gels to craft towering rustic candles that burn for more than 300 hours, as well as colourful votives made from leftover wax designed to burn for 15 hours or the duration of one dance-marathon during a blackout.
Guests can create their own waxy scents with classes held in the cozy store, learning to thread their own wicks to adorn handcrafted brownie candles or image-transferred hurricane candles. In addition to the fragrant, meltable goods, Crafty Candles also offers customizable handcrafted jewellery.
