tam1116 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Does anyone have any ideas for a not too expensive maybe $5,6,7 candle to make for christmas. I will be doing craft shows and thought people might be looking to spend around that for teachers gifts or kids for parents. Any ideas are appreciated!!!!!!

debscent Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I used to make votives and include an inexpensive votive cup. My packaging I used was a small cake round (cardboard with gold on the top side) and shrinkwrapped it. It enabled the customers to see the colors and it was already wrapped. They would just pop a bow on it. I would pick Christmas themed scents that were easy to identify. Gingerbread and Vanilla Bean, Hollyberry and Christmas Spruce, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) C&S carries some glass christmas tree shaped containers. They're adorable! They also have those ceramic holiday mugs. They also have some candy cane votive holders.

chuck_35550 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) I have customers who begin their Christmas shopping about now. They buy container candles, hand made soaps for their own baskets and creations. Melt and pour is a very easy way to increase products for holidays. Get a good low-moisture soap base, some dye, a few silicone molds and you are in business. There's a lot of money to be made with m&p/candles. I'll start selling college guest soaps soon too. I made some Alabama soaps and used a pumpkin fo and placed them in a cellophane bag with my label at the top. Easy peasy.

mparadise Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I do a set of 2 votives & a votive holder in a sheer organza bag with a jingle bell tied on for $5 and they sell like hot cakes usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
