Patricia Jessome & Carol Dwyer realized there was nowhere on the Fraser Coast to get a choice of local & Australian gourmet foods, so they set about providing just that to the locals.

Candescents is the retail front of Krazy Catz, selling gorgeous hand-poured soy candles made with love on the Fraser Coast. As a family owned and operated brand, we are not just dedicated to creating a great product, but to supporting our local community. Upon its inception, Candescents had a dream of giving back to the community. As this passion grew, it was realised there was a void in the market of assisting local communities to raise funds for causes that are important to them. When you choose to purchase a Candescent candle, you can be happy knowing you're supporting our fundraising efforts. Candescents' commitment was realised by organisations and as such began working collaboratively through concept design meetings to ensure the development of a unique addition to their fundraising lines that enhanced their financial efforts for their cause. In 2016 Candescents assisted in the raising of funds for RSL advocacy services through our �Lest We Forget� candle, where all profits were returned to RSL's. We have also assisted with raising funds for Navy Cadets Maryborough, Give Me Five For Kids and local school fetes. Currently, our motivation is to assist Marcus' Legacy, The Starlight Foundation and Children's Hospital Foundation. Candescents is dedicated to bringing quality Australian made candles onto the market. With a wide range of fragrances to choose from, our candles are the ultimate in relaxation and luxury. Perfect for yourself, or as a gift for someone special, our product range is unique to Australia and the epitome of quality. At Candescents, we stand by the saying that �good candles are not cheap, but cheap candles are not good.� Our candles are produced from only the highest quality 100% organic soy wax available on Australian shores. We use only the best fragrant oils blended and produced by qualified perfumers right here in Australia. Our wicks are full cotton and lead free. The glassware used is of exceptional quality ensuring a safe candle burn with no cracking. Our products DO NOT CONTAIN PARAFFIN and other little nasties often found in candle products. Each candle and melt is hand crafted and hand poured by us. We do not outsource our labour of love, ensuring the quality of our product is maintained. We have listened to the public, and our fragrance range is forever growing and changing, currently standing at 72 fragrances to choose from. We can craft candles to suit all times in life.

Hi, I'm Vikki! I've been buying handmade cards since before I can remember. I love the look on family and friends faces when I present their card for a birthday, holiday or just a special moment. I started to see the quality decline over the years and wanted to still be able to gift these amazing cards! So I started playing around with different papers and materials to find the best combination to create high quality gifts that are quirky and fun. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I've enjoyed creating them!
