wax melt kit and soy wax

I am thinking of making my own wax melts for my baskets i am making for xmas pressies.
Where is the best place to get a kit and soy wax?

Ebay sells loads of stuff, kits, moulds, wax, and fragrances. There are lots of shops on there who specialise in wax melts products. The wax tends to be quite expensive because of the price involved in postage. I got my wax from candelights.co.uk. they were quite cheap. The cheapest place I found for fragrances was sensoryperfection, this is a website but she also has a shop on ebay by the same name, she also sells lots of other products.
The moulds are very expensive, especially the silicone ones, a cheap alternative is to use flexible ice cube trays, but if you are lucky you might pick up some cheap ones on ebay.
There are some kits on ebay that are reasonable, if you are starting out they are worth getting just for the moulds and fragrances, as the fragrances will last you. The only downside is that they include only a small amount of wax.
If you have any other questions just ask!!!

Well done, that will save you loads if you can avoid paying postage. I think they have a shop on ebay as I have seen that name on there. I don't drive and there is nowhere near me (I think) that sells the products.
You'll be able to ask the woman in the shop for advice as well, which is priceless as I had problems when I tried to make mine. In theory they are really easy to make as you can just melt the wax in a microwave. Anyway good luck!!

I hope to get some in the future and being new any help will be great..
