Explore my favourite creations, from playful festive shapes to elegant marble centerpieces, all handcrafted with love in Mumbai.
This is what a truly special Christmas gift looks like. I filled this wooden hamper with some of my favorite festive creations, including a hand-poured snowman candle, pinecone candles, and detailed Christmas tree candles.
My Motichoor Ladoo candles are a bestseller every Diwali. They look just like the real sweet, complete with edible silver varq, and fill the room with a festive fragrance.
I love the elegance of these marble urli candles. Each one is carved from real Indian marble and filled with scented wax, with delicate pressed flowers on top for a beautiful, lasting gift.
A bouquet that never wilts! This is one of my favorite custom gifts to make, featuring a collection of hand-carved rose candles in vibrant colors, arranged with dried flowers in a lovely gift box.
Perfect for your Diwali card parties, this poker-themed gift set is always a hit. It includes glass candles printed with card suits and a fun dice-shaped candle holder, all ready to gift in a bright red box.
Isn't he the cutest? My Melting Snowman candle is a joy to make, with a French Vanilla scent that makes your home feel cozy and warm. He comes packaged in his own little box, ready for gifting.
For a flame-free way to enjoy my scents, I create these beautiful beeswax sachets. I press real botanicals like lavender, thyme, and even cinnamon sticks into the wax, making them perfect for scenting drawers and closets.
I believe the wrapping is part of the gift. Here you can see me using Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese cloth wrapping technique, which is not only beautiful but also sustainable and reusable.
About Featured
When you choose a piece from this collection, you are getting a candle designed for more than just light. I hand-pour each item using a specific soy and beeswax blend for a cleaner burn, and I spend as much time on the packaging as the wax itself, using everything from reusable pinewood crates to traditional Furoshiki cloth wraps that you can use long after the candle is gone.
Behind the Wax
Every candle you see here started as an idea that I obsessed over for days. Whether it is the Motichoor ladoo candles that require just the right touch of 'varq' to look authentic or the delicate carving on my marble lotus urlis, I focus on the details that make a gift feel truly thoughtful.
Why Materials Matter
I avoid paraffin because I want these candles to be safe for your home. I use a clean-burning blend of soy and beeswax. This combination holds fragrance well, meaning that whether you choose French Vanilla for a cozy night or a floral scent for a gift, the fragrance remains consistent from the first light to the last.
Sustainable Gifting
I believe the packaging is 50% of the experience. That is why I move away from standard plastic wrap. My hampers often arrive in:
- Reusable Pinewood Crates: Perfect for holding trinkets or desk supplies later.
- Furoshiki Cloth Wraps: A traditional Japanese technique that looks elegant and eliminates paper waste.
- Kraft Boxes: Simple, sturdy, and easy to recycle.
If you are planning an event or a festive gathering, just let me know. I love mixing and matching scents and themes to create something that fits your specific vibe.
