Handcrafted pure New Zealand beeswax candles, scented soy candles, and cold-pressed coconut oil soaps set this artisan gift store apart on Tyne Street. Alongside natural essential oil perfumes and Eau De Parfum, they host hands-on workshops where visitors can learn to make their own candles, perfumes, and soaps, turning traditional scent-craft into a creative local activity. Working with pure local beeswax gives the candles their clean, natural burn and honeyed scent, crafted on site in Oamaru with additional making tied to Geraldine.
Customers consistently praise the quality of the beeswax candles, noting fair pricing and warm, attentive help in the shop. The candle and perfume workshops are singled out as an engaging experience to share with friends, with visitors often mentioning how easy it is to linger over the scent displays. It is one of six gift shops within a kilometre in Oamaru's Victorian precinct and holds the highest rating among them. You will find it at 7 Tyne Street in South Hill, Oamaru. Our pick in Oamaru for locally poured beeswax candles and a creative weekend workshop.
