Create a festive, hand-poured candle that is ready to place under the tree! Participants will select a fragrance from Ana Banana Co.’s curated holiday scent collection and pour their own 8 oz candle. While the candle begins to set, participants will personalize their creation with a candle name or seasonal label and complete the gift with a box, ribbon, and gift tag. Keep your finished candle or give it to someone special—although we won’t tell if you decide it’s too good to give away! All materials and gift packaging are included.
