Selfmade is a brilliant female-founded brand launched in lockdown by Ricki Lawal who taught herself to make candles during the pandemic.

There are three candle kits available to try from Selfmade including pumkin spice, chai spice and ginger spice. Each one comes in beautiful and eco-friendly glass jar – and there’s even a plantable seed label so that you can give it a new life after the candle has burned down.
