Scented candle gifts they'll actually light.
Candle gift ideas for every occasion and budget, hand-poured in Chennai and delivered across India.
An easy gift to get right.
The short answer: a good scented candle is useful, personal and lovely on a shelf, and it suits almost anyone. Pick a scent for the person, not the occasion. If you don't know their taste, soft vanilla is the safest choice, and a pair of candles ships free anywhere in India.
Personal
Seven scents, from creamy vanilla to smoky tobacco, so there's one that feels like them.
Made well
Organic soy wax and coconut oil, lead- and zinc-free cotton wicks, phthalate-free fragrance.

Candle gifts for every occasion.
Diwali, Karthigai Deepam and festivals
Warm scents that suit lamp-lit evenings: Ember Noir or Soul Roast. A thoughtful change from another box of sweets.
Weddings and return gifts
For many guests, our Sunpetal wax sachets (set of 3, ₹349) are flameless and easy to hand out. For family, a candle each.
Housewarming (griha pravesh)
A scent for the new home's living room: frangipani Island Reverie or bright Solar Elixir.
Birthdays and anniversaries
Choose their kind of scent (see the guide below), or give two that pair well, like Stillness Bloom and Ember Noir.
Thank-yous
For teachers, doctors, hosts and neighbours, one candle says it well. Stillness Bloom is the safe choice.
Christmas and New Year
Cosy winter evenings suit Forest Lumen's cedarwood or Soul Roast's cappuccino.
