Only time will tell. You can always sell candles at car boots and markets. The trick with them is the top pour. Most candles are poured in layers and if there is strong scent in the top layer the candles will sell.

It really depends on the other things. To tell you the truth, when I had my gift type kiosk in a mall by 6 PM Christmas Eve when closing down, there was nothing left on the shelves. Every stupid buy I had made through the year got purchased - at full price. A desperate husband on Christmas Eve will buy anything.

And, I hate to say it, so will kids buying something for Granny.

The two weeks between Christmas and the 8th or 10th of January were literally "selling from an empty wagon", as most wholesalers close down the week between Christmas and New Years and they don't start shipping again until January 2 or later.

Unless it's real junk, you should do OK.

Keep us informed....
