Thumbprint Artifacts brings a storybook charm to the holiday table with these hand-painted candles, each one poured and decorated by hand in South Africa. Cheerful festive motifs are brushed across every candle, so no two are exactly alike, and that small variation is part of what makes them feel like a treasured find rather than a store-bought staple. Each candle is made by single mothers in a rural South African community, and every purchase helps support their extended families.
