“With prices starting at under $15, the kits are proving a popular last-minute Christmas gift with plenty of customers grabbing one as a Kris Kringle, stocking filler or even a gift for a favourite teacher.
“This is the first drop of kits we’ve launched with more to come in the new year. The range offers plenty of options to get your creativity flowing and get you away from your screens.
“So far we’ve loved seeing how customers have brought their kits to life, adding their own creative touch and using their finished creations to style their home or gift to friends and family.”
Viewers on TikTok remarked at needing one of the candle kits “ASAP” – which upon completion, resemble candles that typically retail for $40 or more.
“OMG need,” wrote one woman.
“I want to try this,” commented another.
“Wow! Love this,” said a third.
