It’s been a crazy few months around here to say the least! With our move out of the portacom and into our new shop we’ve got a lot more space so our product range has slowly been expanding. I’ve found space is kind of like money – the more you have the more you use until you get to the point where you don’t know how you managed to survive before!

If you aren’t able to come in and visit our shop don’t worry because we ship all our products nationwide, and ordering off the website is super easy!

Here are a few new things we’ve got in store now… keep an eye out because I’m expecting a lot more new products to arrive in the next month or so, it’s exciting stuff!

Preserving Jars

Our new range of preserving jars are absolutely stunning. At this stage we have three different styles; The Quilted Jelly Jar, Jam Jar and Weck Tulip Jars. They have nice thick glass walls and are used by professional candle makers throughout New Zealand.

The Jelly and Jam jars are made in the USA and the Weck jars are made in Germany so the quality of this glassware is exceptional.

You can use them in other crafts too, they’re not just for candle makers. You can of course use them in preserving your jams and relishes, they’re also great to store chocolates and treats for wedding favours. I’ve made a mini terrarium with a Weck Tulip jar which is a lovely addition to my chaotic desk! Keep an eye out on the website for the tutorial.

Milky Way Molds

I’ve been searching for a range of soap moulds for quite some time now. There are so many out there, mostly made in China, but the quality is questionable to say the least. Finally I settled on a well known and trusted brand – Milky Way Molds.

They’re designed and manufactured in the USA and are used by hobbiest to professional soap makers all around the world.

The moulds are made from sturdy PVC plastic and can be used for making soap, wax melts, chocolate, or even to mould plaster and clay! If you take proper care of them they will last for many uses. They are real value for money.

I have new styles arriving every few months so check out our soap moulds page for any new stock.

Candle Tins

After a long, long wait we’re pleased to announce that our 6oz silver candle tins are finally back in stock!

You’ve all been so patient waiting for these to arrive back in. My shipment landed in our store this afternoon and I’ve had a busy day unpacking the new stock. I’ve got plenty of these tins so hopefully we won’t run out any time soon.

I’ve gone back to the tin design with the three little feet on the bottom and the raised lid.

Fragrances

Since moving inside to our new shop space I’ve been able to start buying in new fragrances again (see what I mean about the more space you have the more you use!) Our newest fragrances are Beach Daisies, Pineapple Jasmine, Fresh Ginger and I’ve got Fresh Peach and Black Tie winging their way to New Zealand right now.

If you’ve seen a fragrance somewhere else and I don’t have it listed, flick me an email and I’ll see about adding it to our line.

We will be discontinuing some of our fragrances in the next couple of weeks. We find some fragrances just aren’t too popular and I’d rather free up the space to add new scents.

The fragrances currently being discontinued are – Animalistic, Bay Rum, CK One, Chocolate Orchid, Rosewood & Musk

We can still get these fragrances in, but won’t be keeping them on the shelf so if you’d like to order them in the future a minimum size of 300ml will apply.
