Vendor Feature: Merrimade
Thank you Merrimade for these great gifts for humans and furry pets alike! Who is Merrimade? 我由香港移民過來，擁有13多個手工藝導師證書。 merrimade 創辦了一年，主要是手工香薰蠟燭和香薰石膏，希望做到這些產品不只是用來裝飾，而是有不同用處。 香薰護膚蠟燭的配方是全天然，保濕滋潤，抗炎抗衰老，15分鐘吸收，所有皮膚可用，尤其乾燥的皮膚非常有效。 寵物亦是家庭成員之一，所以也硏製給貓狗可用的護掌膏。尤其狗狗經常外出，幼嫩的肉墊乾燥發炎，天然寵物護掌膏可幫助保濕、滋潤、抗炎。 遲些會舉辦興趣班、工作坊等活動，希望其他人也可以創作自己的手工作品。 Translation: I immigrated from Hong Kong and have more than 13 craft instructor certificates. “merrimade” has been established for a year, selling mainly handmade scented candles and scented plaster.
