Jackpot Candles aren't just any other jewelry candle. Nope, there's a twist. They offer a large selection of candles and tarts in a multitude of scents and each one contains a little surprise inside. But here's the twist, you get to choose what your surprise is (pick from earrings, rings, and necklaces), and you have the option of selecting your ring size.

I've been meaning to do an update explaining what one of the packages was, but well, I'm a horrible procrastinator.The mystery box contained supplies for my new favorite hobby. . . Candle Making.
