Candle making kits 

Our DIY candle making kits are some of our most popular craft kits and online classes you’ll find on the internet. It can be a bit confusing to know which candles to buy because there is so much variety these days. Deciding on the scent and the type of candle can put many people off trying to make their homes feel more cosier. Instead, you can learn how to make candles at home by taking one of our online candle making classes. 

As the nights draw in, there’s no better cosier feeling than lighting candles around your home on dark nights. Candles don’t only make your home feel cosier, you’ll be able to completely transform your work from home space into a sanctuary at night time. If you’re loved ones are currently working from home then they’ll love our DIY candle making kits. 

We also only use soy candles because they are much better for the environment and don’t burn any nasty toxins into the air. Plus the flames are always brighter and last longer. 

If you think your loved one will enjoy learning how to make candles at home, they’ll be able to make many for gifts to give back to their loved ones and friends in the future. 

DIY pottery making kits

As people prefer to make their own things, our DIY pottery making kits have become hugely popular. This online Christmas gift makes a fantastic present because your loved one will be able to replace their crockery and ornaments around the home with pieces they have personally made themselves. This could potentially spark a newfound passion, your loved one could create brand new pieces for their home and as future gifts to give their friends. 

No matter where your loved one lives, they will be able to take part in our virtual pottery class because it’s open to anyone living in Britain. When they’ve built confidence in creating pottery at home, they could join one of our in-person pottery classes to continue their hobby on.

At home terrarium kits

Our at-home terrarium kits make one of the best online Christmas gifts because they have so many benefits. Firstly, we know a lot of people would love to build a little jungle in their homes, but finding the time to take care of plants, let alone work out how not to kill them can be a bit of a nightmare. Instead, terrarium kits are designed so that you don’t need to give them much care at all. Because of their greenhouse-esque structures, they only need watering once or twice a month. 

We’ve all wondered how to make a terrarium at home because they look so complicated. But with the right guidance, you can learn how to make your very own little jungle to put in your home. When you fill your home with plants, you’ll be surrounded by life and more oxygen which will help you sleep much better at night. 

If you buy your loved one a DIY terrarium kit for Christmas, they’ll be able to fill their home with life, giving them joy and a future for long-lasting happiness.
