From baby showers to weddings, I create personalized soy wax gifts that aren't just party favors, but stories in a jar. Let's design yours.

I believe every celebration deserves a splash of color. This rainbow of handmade peony flower candles, all crafted from 100% natural soy wax, shows the vibrant possibilities we can create together for your special day. Each one is a unique piece of art for your guests.

This is what a complete, heartfelt gift looks like. For this Haldi ceremony, we created a custom gift box with a vibrant yellow peony candle and a matching wax sachet, all tied together with a personalized thank you note. It’s the little details that make a big difference.

Here’s a little secret from my studio. See how I craft my popular Kesar Laddoo candles. It’s a process of patience and precision, ensuring every detail is perfect before it reaches you. These are made with 100% soy wax, with no wastage.

A gift for a baby shower should be as special as the occasion. I loved putting together this custom box, featuring a layered candle with tiny baby feet and a matching baby onesie wax sachet, all personalized for the parents-to-be.

My Urli candles are a modern take on a traditional design. This one, with delicate pastel mini daisies, is nestled in our new gift box, ready to be a beautiful housewarming or festive favor. Each one is hand-poured with scented soy wax.

Milestone birthdays deserve a touch of elegance. For a 50th birthday, we designed these striking black soy wax candles with golden glitter and a custom label, all beautifully packaged to create a memorable return gift.

I believe there's a science to making a great candle. It's not just about wax and wicks; it's about years of perfecting the process. Here’s a look at how I ensure every candle you receive is of the highest quality, from wick placement to the final pour.

About this collection

Each piece you see here is a product of trial, error, and five years of getting the temperatures just right. I don't just pour wax; I test every candle for a clean burn and a fragrance throw that actually lingers. Whether you need 50 pieces for a baby shower or 500 for a corporate event, I ensure every single jar is hand-labeled and wrapped with the same care I would use for my own family.

My Approach to Gifting

When I swapped the newsroom for candle pouring five years ago, I decided that every item leaving my JP Nagar studio had to be more than just pretty packaging.

What goes into your order:

  • 100% Natural Soy Wax: No paraffin or toxic additives. You get a cleaner, longer burn that’s safe for homes with kids and pets.
  • Customization that counts: This isn't mass production. We design the stickers, pick the scent (like Lavender Lemongrass or Peach Mango), and even match the wax colors to your event theme—be it Haldi yellow or pastel baby shower tones.
  • The Details Matter: From the rustic jute tie and net wrapping to the heartfelt thank-you notes, I handle the assembly so you don't have to.

Popular Designs & Themes

I love a challenge. My studio is well-known for specific shapes that go beyond standard jars:

  • Mithai Candles: My signature Kesar Laddoo candles, complete with 'silver varq' (edible gold/silver leaf) aesthetic, are a festive favorite.
  • Themed Shapes: Whether it's baby feet for a naming ceremony, daisy flowers for a housewarming, or personalized toppers for a 50th birthday, if you can dream it, I can likely pour it.

Logistics & Shipping

I work directly with you to finalize quantities and shipping timelines. Because these are handmade, I do need a bit of a head start for large orders, but I ship PAN-India from Bangalore, ensuring your favors arrive ready to gift.

I’m Ketki, and I swapped the newsroom for candle pouring five years ago. I don’t believe in mass-producing generic items; I believe in making memories that smell good. If you want gifts that your guests will actually keep and use, let’s talk.
