If you are still unsure, our gift finder narrows it by person and occasion.

Pick by budget

  • Under Rs 300: Heart Bubble Candle at Rs 249 in white or light blue, or a Heart Rope Candle single at Rs 279, or the Blossom Candle at Rs 299. Good for Secret Santa, a thank-you or a desk gift.
  • Under Rs 500: Bonnet Teddy Candle at Rs 449, a pack of 10 Sunflower Tealights at Rs 449, or Diya Candles, six for Rs 449.
  • Rs 549 to Rs 999: Vanilla Reverie (Rs 549), Matki Candles (Rs 599 for 4), Urli Candles (Rs 699), Shankh Candle (Rs 799), and at Rs 999 the Heart Rope set or the Marble Seashell Candles pair. From Rs 999 shipping is free.
  • A bigger gift: put two items together. Vanilla Reverie with the Floral Candle Duo is Rs 1,198, which reads as a small hamper: one candle to smell, two to look at.

What makes a candle gift feel thoughtful

  • A set, not a single. Sets of four or five look complete when the box opens. Our sets are the Heart Rope set of 4, the Spiral set of 5, the Braided pack of 4 and the Matki pack of 4.
  • The right place in their home. Traditional shapes (diya, urli, shankh, matki, lotus) suit parents and pooja rooms. Shells, braids and spirals suit a modern flat.
  • Fragrance only if you know their taste. Scent is personal and some people get headaches from it. A shaped candle with no fragrance is the safer gift when you do not know. Only Vanilla Reverie is scented in our range.
  • A note. Add a gift note on the product page so the parcel can go straight to them.

Other places to buy a candle gift

  • Fragrance-led candle brands if the person loves scent and you want a choice of notes like lavender, sandalwood or rose. We make one scented jar, in vanilla.
  • Gift hamper sellers if you want candles packed with dry fruits, chocolates or diaries in one basket.
  • Wholesale and corporate gifting firms if you need fifty or more identical boxes with your company logo; we do not print logos or names.

Ordering, delivery and gifting

  • Dispatch in 24 to 48 hours, then 2 to 7 days for delivery anywhere in India. For a birthday or festival, order early and check the delivery estimate for the pincode on the product page.
  • Free shipping from Rs 999; Rs 79 below that.
  • Prepaid only (UPI, card, net banking or wallet through Razorpay); no cash on delivery.
  • Damage reported within 24 hours of delivery is replaced or refunded.

A safety line for the gift card

If you write a note, a kind tip is: trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting, keep it on a heat-proof surface, and never leave it burning unattended.
