Is there something going on which mean candles are out of stock?

I like a candle and I wanted to replenish some. Normally I go to Tiger but obviously they are shut.
Tried to add some to my Ocado order all of them are out of stock. eBay, damn near everything is out.
(To be honest I stopped looking after that but there seems to be a shortage).

I know a few candle makers who have struggled to get wax due to a national shortage.

Are there any independent candle makers in your area that you could try?
I buy my candles from a local lady's business and she sells gorgeous candles and wax melts.
She doesn't seem to be out of stock.

Try Etsy. I shop with Misters Candles on there and have not found any other brand comes close to theirs.

Storm Christoph has caused lots of power cuts and the national grid put an advert on Facebook warning about more due to the flooding and weather.
Could it be people stocking up because of that?

Whatever it is it appears to be also affecting tortilla wraps, passatta and edam cheese. Oh and mini marshmallows, although that might be my fault as I inadvertently stocked up just before Christmas.

I'm using candles more as a ridiculous lockdown "treat"

Wraps are v popular because of that stupid craze for folded tortilla parcels on TikTok etc

Ah something else I canblame bloody tik tok for!
I'm hoping to have a go at making them tomorrow, if successful I'll be a happy bunny

I have a candle business and there is a global shortage of mainly wax currently but also loads of other supplies I need. The last few months have been a complete nightmare and I spend a lot of time refreshing supplier websites as they sell out of any wax they get in within minutes
