Philadelphia's Wax + Wine is currently closed due to the COVID-19 crisis, but the candle making bar is offering a special Mother's Day promotion.

Last minute shoppers can gift mom a custom candle instead of something generic. While you can't go into the shop to make your own candle, this is a virtual experience.
