If you are only a beginner in the candle making world, a starter kit can be the perfect thing for you! Some of those kits have everything you need to make your first candle.
Lately I've read some very good reviews on Candle Peak's starter kits. Here is an example from Candle Tech's forum:
I did hours and hours and hours or research... I like Peak's starter kit because it offers you by far the MOST for the BEST price. No one else gives you as many fragrances to try and color dyes to try as Peak does, and they even threw in an additional scent giving me a sample of SIX fragrances. You will NOT be disappointed with a Peak starter kit. And I am now certain that candle making is for me :-)
Obviously there are lots of different starter kits out there. You should check and compare them carefully. There is a big range both in their price and their content.
