I'm looking for some for my gran - doesn't need to be beeswax or anything fancy, the good old fashioned lavender stuff would be fine.
I've seen it on line, but wondered if anywhere on the high street still sells it? Struck out at Wilkinsons which seem the obvious first port of call. Any other ideas? (Grandma says she's tried the supermarkets with no luck.)

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Perhaps a furniture shop. I got mine at a farmers market from the honey stall (obviously its beeswax)

    I think I got mine in Tesco, but it was a while ago. How about Home Bargains?

    There isn't one round my way. Tried the poundshops and local markets with no joy. ( I don't mind buying on line if I have to, it's just that for smaller items, by the time you've added on postage the price has doubled.)

    You can get beeswax polish from John Lewis, and I think you can get it at some branches of Waitrose. IIRC it's about £6 though.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    I got some in Robert Dyers yesterday, they did various types and I needed it for some antique furniture, it was about £9 though! I had already searched in the budget shops, but no luck. They had uncoloured and coloured.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
