Personalised gifts for parents: a candle pair with "Mummy Papa" on the tag, for their door or mandirPersonalised gifts for parents: a candle pair with "Mummy Papa" on the tag, for their door or mandir

A gift for both of them is a gift in twos

When a gift is for Mummy and Papa together, it should belong to the house rather than to one of them. A pair works naturally: one candle for each side of the main door, the mandir or the dining table. Put both their names on the tag and it reads as a gift to the two of them, not to the kitchen. For custom orders in general, see our customised gifts guide.

Raajkosh hand-pours soy wax candles in Jalandhar. On our custom orders page you can ask for colours that match their home, names or initials on the tag or box, and a custom fragrance. We reply with what is possible, a timeline and a price. We do not engrave, print family photos or make name plates.

Pairs and sets for your parents' home

Urli Candles with Matki Candles come to Rs 1,298 and ship free, since shipping is free on orders of Rs 999 or more. The Heart Rope set ships free on its own.

Three occasions, three tags

Their anniversary. Both names and the number: "Usha and Ramesh, 35 years". For the bigger milestones, ask us for the colours of their wedding photo or the gold of their first home. If many relatives are coming for a 25th or 50th, and you also want return gifts for guests, see our page on return gifts for an anniversary party.

A new home for them. The family surname and a blessing: "The Arora family, Shubh Griha Pravesh". A Lotus pair is a gentle fit for a home being blessed.

Just because you moved away. "Mummy Papa, from Bengaluru with love". If you live in another city, this is the gift that reminds them every evening.

New parents: a different gift

Personalised gifts for new parents are usually about the baby: the baby's name on something they keep. A candle with the baby's name on the tag can be a keepsake on a high shelf, but with a newborn at home it should stay unlit and out of reach. For a newborn visit, a practical gift helps more. Many people choose a photo frame or a name blanket for new parents; photo-print and baby-gift shops do those well.

Picking colours for a parents' house

Look at the house before you choose. A traditional home with a wooden or marble mandir suits gold, red, terracotta and cream. A newer flat with white walls suits ivory, pastel and mint. Our custom colour list covers ivory, white, red, pink, coral, blue, navy, yellow, mint, purple, green, gold, terracotta, cream and pastel. A photo of their mandir, sent on WhatsApp (+91 85958 24586) after the enquiry, helps more than a description.

Other personalised gifts parents enjoy

A family photo frame, a printed photo calendar, a wooden name plate for the door, a pair of engraved steel glasses, or a family tree print. Photo-print sites, name-plate makers and engravers do these well. A candle pair is the choice when you want something handmade that becomes part of their festival evenings.
