What is a good personalised gift for my mother who is religious?

A candle for her mandir, such as the Shankh or Lotus Candle, in her pooja corner's colours with her name on the tag. Custom work is by enquiry.

Can I send a personalised gift to my mom in another city?

Yes. We deliver across India from Jalandhar. Add her address and your gift note at checkout.

Can you print a family photo for Mom?

No. We do not print photos or engrave. A photo-print gift site is the right choice for that.

How much is a custom candle for my mother?

We quote after you send the idea, because the price depends on the piece and what you change. Shop pieces for mothers run from Rs 349 to Rs 799.

Is this a good gift for a new mum?

Only as decor, kept out of the baby's reach. A new mother usually values rest and help more than candles.

Key takeaways

Personalise for the place she uses most: the mandir, the festival table, the guest shelf.
Ask for her colours and her own name or what she is called on the tag.
Shankh Candle plus Lotus Candle is Rs 1,148 and ships free.
Prepaid only, so nothing is collected from her at the door.

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

Making a gift feel like it was chosen for Maa

Mothers are hard to personalise for. Many of them will politely put away a photo mug or a cushion with their face on it. What most mothers do use, every day, is the mandir corner, the dining table at festivals and the shelf where guests look first. A candle made for one of those places, in colours that match her home and with a line for her on the tag, is a gift she will actually light. Our customised gifts guide sets out the custom process in full; this page is about Maa.

Raajkosh hand-pours soy wax candles in Jalandhar. Our personalisation is by enquiry on the custom orders page: your colours, a fragrance if you want one, and names, initials or a message on the tag or box. We reply with what we can make, a timeline and a price. We do not engrave, print photos or make jewellery.

What to ask us to change

Her colours. Look at her mandir, her curtains or the saree she wears on festival days. Cream, gold, red and terracotta suit a traditional pooja corner; mint, pastel and ivory suit a modern flat. Tell us the shades or send a photo on WhatsApp after the enquiry.

What she is called. "Maa", "Mummy", "Amma", "Ammi", "Bebe" or her own name. Children often forget that a mother likes to see her name, not just her role. For her 60th, "Sushma, 60 and shining" may mean more than "Happy Birthday Mom".

A fragrance she recognises. Our only scented shop candle is Vanilla Reverie (Rs 549). A custom fragrance on other pieces is possible by enquiry: describe the scent, for example the agarbatti she buys, and we will tell you what we can do.

Birthday, Mother's Day, or a new mum

Her birthday: order a custom piece well in advance, or a shop piece with a gift note if the date is close.
Mother's Day: the same rule. Order early and check the delivery estimate for her pincode.
A new mum: a mother with a newborn needs rest more than decor. Our page on a gift for a new mother covers what helps. If the baby is in the house, keep any candle out of reach and unlit when she cannot watch it.

If you live in another city

Many people searching this live away from their mother. We deliver across India: shop orders dispatch in 24 to 48 hours and arrive 2 to 7 days after dispatch. Put her address and phone number at checkout and add your gift note. Payment is prepaid only (UPI, card, net banking or wallet), so nothing is collected from her at the door. No cash on delivery.

For a fuller gift, our gift chest builder puts 3 to 6 pieces in one chest with a ribbon and your message; 4 or more pieces are 10% off.

Gifts we would send you elsewhere for

If she wants a photo frame of the grandchildren, a name pendant, an engraved steel thali or a printed photo calendar, a photo-print site, a jeweller or an engraving shop will do it better. If she prefers a brass diya with oil and ghee, buy brass from a puja store; ours are wax.

Returns and her safety

Shop orders: request a return within 24 hours of delivery; refunds within 5 to 7 working days of approval. Custom pieces cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged or wrong.

For an older mother: a lit candle on a stable, heat-proof surface, away from dupattas and curtains, never left unattended, each burn kept to 3 to 4 hours.
