BEES-WAX CHRISTMAS CANDLES TO BUY OR MAKE YOUR OWN
My 8 year old son has got his Christmas moulds, and is restarting his business "Kids Candle-Making" that he started February before lock-down. These are made from NZ beeswax, and have extra long wicks so they can hung on a Christmas tree. We have a few in his road-side honesty stall outside 217 Foxton-Shannon Road, or we will take pre-orders with 20% off. We can deliver to Levin, and probably Palmerston North before Christmas. The moulded candles are $3-5 before the 20% off, and the small coloured tapers are $2.
I am running Candle-Making classes if you want to make your own Christmas candles. Classes starting at $14 to make three candles (a moulded candle, a coloured dip candle and an ice candle). Private/group session to make what you want with a cost of $100 per kg of wax, ($20 minimum). I also plan to do drop-in sessions for kids just to make the dip candles ($2 to add colour to a taper candle, and $7 to make a large candle from scratch.)
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
