What personalised gift can I give my father who does pooja every day?

The Shankh Candle for his mandir, with Papa or his name on the tag by custom enquiry. It is decorative and not meant for blowing.

Can you engrave Dad's name on a pen or wallet?

No. We make candles only. An engraver or leather brand is the right shop for that.

Is a candle a good Father's Day gift?

For a father who enjoys a calm room or a family ritual, yes. For a gadget or watch person, choose something else.

How much is a custom candle for my dad?

We quote it after you send the idea. Shop pieces for fathers run from Rs 179 to Rs 799.

Can it be sent to my father's house in another city?

Yes, anywhere in India. Orders are prepaid, so nothing is collected from him on delivery.

Key takeaways

A candle suits a dad who leads the aarti, reads in the evening or keeps a tidy desk; not a gadget lover.
Put Papa, Pitaji or his own name on the tag; colours and fragrance are custom by enquiry.
Shankh Candle with Vanilla Reverie is Rs 1,348 and ships free.
For a new dad, keep the candle unlit and away from the baby.

Shankh Candle: a cream and caramel conch-shaped soy candle with pink wax lotus blooms

Most dads will not light a pink candle

Let us be practical. Indian fathers are among the hardest people to buy a personalised gift for, and a candle is not right for every dad. It suits a father who leads the family aarti, who sits in one chair with the newspaper or a book every evening, who notices when the house smells nice, or who keeps a tidy desk at work. For a dad who wants a gadget, a watch or a good pen, a candle is the wrong gift. Our customised gifts guide explains every custom option; this page is only for fathers.

If your father is the first kind, here is what we can do. Raajkosh hand-pours soy wax candles in Jalandhar. By enquiry on our custom orders page, we make them in colours you choose, with "Papa", "Pitaji", "Daddy" or his own name on the tag, and with a custom fragrance if you describe one. We reply with what is possible, a timeline and a price. We do not engrave pens or wallets, or print photos.

Words for Papa's tag

Fathers are often embarrassed by long messages. One line is enough, and it can be practical, proud or funny:

"Papa, for your evening chair."
His full name and "65 years young" for a milestone birthday.
"From your three daughters", if the gift is from all of you.
"Pitaji, for the aarti", written the way he would say it.
For a new dad: the baby's name and "your first Father's Day".

If he likes a scent such as sandalwood or the dhoop he buys, describe it in the enquiry. Custom fragrance is by request; our only scented shop candle is Vanilla Reverie.

For a new father

Searches for personalised gifts for a new dad usually come from a partner or a sibling. With a newborn in the house, a candle should stay unlit and out of reach, so treat it as decor for his desk, or wait a few months. A small tag with the baby's name on a navy Spiral Pillar for his office desk is a gentle option that keeps the flame away from the baby.

Father's Day, birthday, retirement

Father's Day: order early and check the delivery estimate for his pincode on the product page. A shop piece with a gift note dispatches in 24 to 48 hours.
His birthday: the same timing rule; for a custom piece, write to us as early as you can.
Retirement: a custom candle with his name and the years of service on the tag, for the home study he will now use every day.

If both parents are getting a gift together, we have a page on personalised gifts for parents.

What other shops do better for Dad

Engraved pens, monogrammed wallets and belts, a watch with a message on the back, a photo frame of the grandchildren, or a printed mug for his tea: leather brands, engravers, watch shops and photo-print sites all personalise these well, and some deliver within a city on the same day. We ship from Jalandhar, so we cannot.

Sending it to his home

We deliver across India, 2 to 7 days after dispatch. Put his address and phone number at checkout. Payment is prepaid (UPI, card, net banking or wallet), so he will not be asked for money at the door; there is no cash on delivery. Shop orders can be returned on a request within 24 hours of delivery. Personalised pieces cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged or wrong.

For an older father: burn it on a stable, heat-proof surface, never leave it lit unattended, and keep each burn to 3 to 4 hours.
