Customised gifts in India: handmade candles in your colours, with names on the tag, ordered online

Raajkosh makes customised candle gifts by enquiry: your colours, a fragrance you choose, and names or initials on the tags and boxes. Send the idea and your date through raajkosh.com/custom-orders and we reply with what we can make, a timeline and a price.

What "customised" means here

Most personalised gift shops print a name or a photo on something that already exists: a mug, a cushion, a frame, a keychain. That is quick and cheap, and it is the right choice when the photo is the point. What we do is different. Raajkosh hand-pours candles in pure soy wax in Jalandhar, and a custom order changes the candle itself and the way it is given:

  • Your colours. Match a wedding palette, a nursery, a room or a brand. Tell us the shades or send a photo. We work in ivory, white, red, pink, coral, blue, navy, yellow, mint, purple, green, gold, terracotta, cream and pastels.
  • Your fragrance. Choose a scent for candles and jars, or describe one you have in mind. Our ready range has one scented candle; a custom order is where a fragrance can be discussed.
  • Names and initials. Names on gift tags, initials on boxes, or a message for favours and return gifts.

Four steps from idea to doorstep

  1. Share the idea: the piece, colours, fragrance, names, quantity and your date. Photos help; you can send them on WhatsApp (+91 85958 24586) after the form, quoting your reference.
  2. We reply with what is possible, a timeline and a price.
  3. You confirm and pay. Then we start making it.
  4. It arrives, packed and sent to you or straight to them, anywhere in India.

We do not publish custom prices or making times, because they depend on the piece, the quantity and how close your date is. The site's own advice is the honest one: "Please give us as much time before your date as you can."

Starting points: pieces people customise

A custom order usually starts from a shape we already make. Shop prices for the ready versions:

Ready piece What it is Shop price Customise it for
Spiral Pillar Candles twisted pillar, five colours Rs 179 single, Rs 799 for five a table in your wedding colours
Heart Rope Candles heart in a rope-weave rim Rs 279 single, Rs 999 for four an anniversary, with both initials on the tag
Diya Candles six terracotta wax diyas Rs 449 a family function, with the family name
Lotus Candle layered lotus Rs 349 a pooja return gift, with a message
Vanilla Reverie amber jar, vanilla scent, gold flakes Rs 549 a jar with a name on the box

These are ready-made prices. A custom version is priced in our reply.

Who orders customised gifts, and for what

  • One person, one gift: a name on the tag of a birthday candle, initials on an anniversary box.
  • A family function: return gifts for a pooja, a baby shower or a mehendi, with the family name or the couple's initials. See our page on personalised return gifts with names on the tags.
  • A wedding: favours in the couple's colours for 50 to 300 guests.
  • A company: logo gifts from 10 pieces with a GST invoice, through corporate gifting rather than custom orders.

"Near me": there is no shop, but there is a person

If you searched for a customised gift shop near you, we should be plain: Raajkosh has no shop to visit. We are a workshop in Jalandhar and we deliver across India. What you get instead is a direct line. Write to maharani@raajkosh.com, call or WhatsApp +91 85958 24586, and a real person replies about your idea. If you need the gift in your hand today, a local personalised gift shop with a printer will be faster than us.

When a printed gift is the better choice

Choose a photo mug, frame, cushion or engraved pen from a personalisation site when you want a photo on the gift, when the budget is very small, or when the date is days away. Choose a custom candle when you want colour, a handmade object, and the name on it to feel like part of the gift rather than a print.

The rules for custom pieces

Custom and personalised pieces are made for you, so they cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged or wrong. Report damage within 24 hours of delivery. Payment is prepaid only; there is no cash on delivery. When the candle is lit: trim the wick to about 5 mm, keep each burn to 3 to 4 hours, and never leave it unattended.
