Candles, unlike candlesticks, illuminate darkness and cannot be forensically linked to Colonel Mustard. Create your own guiding light with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of make-your-own candles and soap at WiX in Scotts Valley.

WiX furnishes budding craftsmen with the tools to engineer custom candles and soaps on hardwood picnic-style tables in a spacious craft studio. After a brief instruction, candlestick makers and soap sculptors are set free to choose base wax or soap color, mold shape, and one of more than 30 scents such as bubble gum, peppermint, and molten happiness. Crafters then embed colorful dry pieces of wax or soap into molds in shapes such as hearts, stars, and moons before a staff member pours in a melted scented mixture that holds the final product together like handcuffs made of wedding vows. Candles ($7–$38) and soaps ($8–$17) are ready for pick-up within two days, or can be stored for up to four weeks or shipped to their masters in sweetly scented packages.
