Handcrafted Soy Wax Candles and Personalized Gift Hampers
Every candle and hamper here tells a story of late nights, steady progress, and a lot of heart. This is a look behind the scenes at how my creations go from a simple idea to a thoughtful gift.

About Handmade with Heart
When you see the final, neatly packed gift box, it is hard to imagine the hours that went into it—testing the wick, curing the soy wax to perfection, and hand-placing every single ribbon. I pour, label, and pack every order myself, because I believe that the small, human details are exactly what make a gift feel special.
The Journey Behind the Candle
I started this journey with a single dream—to bring back the magic of the candles my grandmother used to light when the lights went out. Today, that sentiment is the heart of UMA. Whether I am prepping for an exhibition at Amity University or carefully packing a last-minute festive hamper for a neighbour in Mahagun Moderne, every step is done by me.
Why Handcrafted Matters
- Clean Burn: By using natural soy wax and phthalate-free fragrances, I ensure my candles are safe for your home and family.
- The Process: From the initial scent blending to the final bow on a gift trunk, nothing is automated. I believe in 'little by little' progress.
- Personalization: You are the boss. Whether it is a custom label, a photo for a birthday, or specific chocolates for a Rakhi hamper, I love adapting my work to fit your vision.
My Commitment to You
Running a small business is a wild ride of wins and flops, but seeing your reactions during exhibitions or receiving your messages about how a scent sparked a memory makes it all worth it. When you buy from me, you are not just getting a candle; you are supporting a dream and getting a product made with genuine care.
If you have a budget or a specific theme in mind, just reach out. I am always happy to mix and match items to create a hamper that feels right for your occasion.
