I make soy candles bath and body products that I will began to sell them at the flea market in two weeks, so I am not sure of what the pricing should be for my products but I do have an idea. tell me what you think and I would love your constructive input please:

12.6 oz candle 10.50 (buy 2 or more: 9.50 each)
9 oz candle 7.50 (buy 2 or more: 6.50 each)
6.4 oz candle 4.50 (buy 2 or more: 3.50 each)

Bath and Body

Sets, which consist of body lotion, body wash and body mist: 15.50
or 5.50 each, buy two sets and get 3.50 off

Candle Set Baskets: which consist of two 6.4oz candles, three piece bath set, bubble bath, bath bar and bath accessories. 32.50

I also have jewlry that I will be selling which consist of earrings necklace and bracelets ( have not set prices for that as yet)

And tell you a bit about my products so you can get an idea:
The reason I started making my own candles is because I was tired of wasting my money on something I could hardly smell, my candles are made with 100% soy wax and I make them with a stronger sense of smell so that your home can be filled with fragrance hours after you blow it out. I also want my product to be affordable, I hate when I go in some places and have to pay 20.00 for a candle.

Now the bath and body also came along from frustration, I would go to places and spend 22.50 for a set only to get home, get in the shower and it is just as runny as the water, so it compelled my to make a thicker lathering gel that smell good as victoria secret.

Now the jewlry! I just love jewlry, I love stone and gems, and my husband always ask me honey why do you always take a long bubble bath , than put on your pj’s and jewlry, to me in my world I guess it goes together! I always say look pretty even when going to bed!

so tell me what do you guys think, be honest and expressive, I don’t break!

Where can I find soy (soybean) birthday candles?

I’ve read that beeswax candles burn cleaner and longer, but that soy candles are even better. Thanks!
……….
Sorry, I meant that both soy and beeswax burns longer and much cleaner than the common paraffin candle. I’m filming someone blowing out birthday candles and I want the least amount of smoke possible.

My use aside, paraffin candles give off toxic fumes, sometimes traces of lead and cadmium. And apparently tallow candles (made from animal fat) are still being sold at places like IKEA.

Merci!
