Candle gift for mom in India: what to give your mother, from Rs 299

Three candles your mother will actually use

The best candle for your mother is one that fits a place she already loves in the house. Three picks from our range, all hand-poured in pure soy wax in Jalandhar:

• If her day starts at the mandir: the Shankh Candle, Rs 799, a cream and caramel conch vessel filled with gold-flecked wax and decorated with pink lotus blooms.
• If she loves flowers and her dressing table: the Floral Candle Duo, Rs 649, two peony-shaped candles in deep rose pink and ivory.
• If she enjoys a gentle fragrance: Vanilla Reverie, Rs 549, our only scented candle, in an amber glass jar with gold flakes.

You can add gift packaging and a gift note on the product page and send it straight to her.

Think about the mother, not the candle

Many mothers will not light a fancy candle; they will keep it "for a special day". So pick something she will enjoy looking at even if she never lights it:

• The devotional mom. She will value something for the pooja room. A shankh, a lotus or an urli feels right next to her idols. The Lotus Candle at Rs 349 or the Urli Candles pair at Rs 699 also work.
• The home-proud mom. She notices decor. The Marble Seashell Candles (Rs 999 for a pair of marbled conch-shell vessels with pink wax shells, pearls and gold stars) look like a showpiece on a shelf.
• The mom who wants to relax. A scented jar by her bed is a small daily treat. Vanilla is a soft, familiar scent that most people find easy to like.
• The mom who has everything. Something cute and unexpected, like the Blossom Candle at Rs 299, a round ivory candle wrapped in pink and yellow wax blossoms.

Candle gifts for mom, by budget

Making it a bigger gift

Two candles together feel like a hamper, and orders from Rs 999 ship free:

• For the mandir and her room: Shankh Candle with Vanilla Reverie, Rs 1,348.
• For her dressing table: Floral Candle Duo with Vanilla Reverie, Rs 1,198.
• For Diwali: Urli Candles with a pack of six Diya Candles, Rs 1,148.

More ideas for both parents are on our gifts for parents page.

Is a scented candle a good idea for mom?

Only if you know she likes fragrance. Some mothers find strong scents give them a headache, and some prefer agarbatti in the house. Our shaped candles have no fragrance added, so they are a safe choice when you are not sure. Vanilla Reverie is the one scented option.
