Make it personal. A gift that matters has personal resonance. It’s usually not something you pick up on the fly. It’s something that takes thought and effort. That takes the recipient’s likes and personality into account. That’s what a gift that matters is like.
Not just any book. A certain book.
Not just any piece of jewelry. THAT piece of jewelry.
Not just any painting. THAT one.
Most of us want to give a gift that matters to those who matter: our children, mothers, closest friends.
But a gift that matters is also appreciated by brides, bridesmaids, people who grieve, people who are in the process of healing, parents celebrating a christening.
I offer gifts that matter.
My beautiful, custom candles can be made to order in just about any size, color, fragrance and can use mementoes important to the person.
Does your best friend have favorite colors, flowers, crystals? Let me craft a beautiful gift candle that’s just for her. One of a kind.
If you know a bride, I can use flowers from her wedding and crystals to create a lovely memento candle with crystals that mean something. I kept one from my own wedding years ago and it wasn’t even embellished.
Or maybe you are a bride and want to give your bridesmaids something customized just for them. I can make a beautiful candle for each.
A good friend loves the beach: I’m making her a shell-infused, beachy candle as a gift.
If your mom recently passed, I can use pieces of favorite earrings or other mementoes, and accent them with stones that are known to be helpful for grief. I can even use her favorite flowers or even flowers from her funeral. If you think that sounds odd I should tell you that I have a dried rose from my close friend’s funeral sitting right next to me.
What about a caregiver you know? Would they appreciate something pretty just for them?
A neighbor who is ailing might like a healing candle with all the good juju healing crystals and energy can provide. Certainly it would be a much-appreciated thoughtful gesture.
On my candles page find gorgeous candles already made (by me!) or contact me about how a custom candle might be just what you’re looking for.

These candles would be awesome gifts for a bride to give to her attendants. Custom candles are such great gift ideas.

I love that you can personalize these candles. What a great idea. What a great way to celebrate that person’s individuality but not spend a ton of money.
I will have to check out your candles. I love them and usually always have one going in the house. I prefer to give homemade gifts!

This is wonderful. Gifts that matter are hard to come by these days. It’s hard to know what to give, and sometimes, you just end up giving nothing to avoid a possibly painful gift.
A candle infused with favorite items, healing stones, and the like sounds like a wonderful idea. It gives this feeling of your loved one just permeating the room. I love it!
Your custom candles sound like a wonderful gift idea. I have to check out your candles page.

I love the candle, it is so pretty. I have always preferred to get and receive personalized or homemade gifts!
Who doesn’t love candles. I love certain smells like vanilla and lilac. Always important to really choose a gift that is personal
What a great gift idea. I have made a couple candles for myself, but never thought about making them for gifts. Thanks for the idea. Pinning for later.
These candles sound great and i love candles burning to freshen up the house. Giving a gift is a special talent because knowing the recipient is very important to make it a personal treasure.
Anything personalized gives the gift an extra added touch. This is a beautiful candle.
I would much rather give a gift candle that’s personalized than just picking up something like an “insert major candle brand here” candle. The person getting the gift will be more appreciative.
Any time I’ve ever gotten a personalized gift, I’ve felt overwhelmed with gratitude from the giver. It tells me, “Hey, I think highly of you, and I appreciate you”.
Your candles look amazing! I think personalizing them is a wonderful idea!
I have always felt that gifts that had a personal touch were more important, I know that is what I want to receive, so that is how I try to be when thinking of a gift!

Your candles would most certainly be a thoughtful and heartfelt gift indeed. I love the personalization that you can build into one
I love unusual candles and these are that. I love gifts that matter and I think adding crystals and botanicals in these makes them so amazing.
These are some nice gifting ideas. But the key of course lies in personalizing. A gift that shows that you have taken care to understand the persons likes holds so much more value for the receiver.
A candle with wedding flowers is a great personal gift idea! I wish I did something to preserve my wedding flowers.
I loved that you said to give it a personal touch. I whole heartedly agree that the gift need to be thoughtful.
What a lovely idea!
What a neat idea!!! I had some of my wedding flowers pressed and framed with one of our wedding invitations, but I love this idea as well – wish I had known about it a decade ago@
I keep a flower from my dad’s funeral in a frame. But I love this idea of taking personal items, flowers, jewels and infusing that love into your healing candles.
