Personalised candles

We hand-picked every gift in this guide from the range we stock. For each one, we asked who it suits and what it does, whether that is a birthday, a thank you, a new home or a wedding.

We also kept a mix of kinds and budgets, so you can find a scented candle jar, a tea light box or a candle gift set with chocolate hearts. Every gift is made to order and personalised with the wording you type.

Three personalised candles have sweet bows, hearts or butterflies: a scented pink bow jar, a butterfly frosted candle and a heart-decorated pillar. Each is made to order with the name or short message you type, so it's made just for them.

Personalised Candle Jar, Scented Pink Bow (£9.95)

Sweet, simple and personal, this scented candle jar has a pink bow design and room for a name. Use plain letters and numbers, as we can't print accents, emoji or most symbols. It's a glass jar of paraffin wax, 7 x 8 x 7 cm, so it's a small gift with a big thought behind it. Type the name you want and we'll make it just for them. It suits birthdays and thank-yous, or any occasion you want to mark.

Best for: Birthdays and thank-yous.

Personalised Frosted Candle, Butterfly Design (£9.95)

A clever pick when you're stuck for ideas, this butterfly frosted candle is made from paraffin wax and has a sweet butterfly design. It suits a teacher, a new home, a birthday or a wedding party. Add a short message across three lines and it appears just as you type it. It burns for about 30 hours, so it lasts a good while.

Best for: Teachers and new homes.

I Heart My Pillar Candle, Personalised Hearts (£12.95)

A gift with a story, this pillar candle is decorated with hearts and carries the standard words 'I Heart My'. It's made just for them, so check the spelling of your name and message first. You add a name and a short message across three lines. It measures 6.9 x 12.6 x 6.9 cm and burns for about 58 hours. It's a warm pick for a partner or best friend, and it comes in an organza bag.

All four of these personalised candle gift sets come with four red foiled milk chocolate hearts. Each one comes with matches, and every candle burns for about 29 hours. Pick by who you're buying for, as the Eid option also adds a necklace.

Personalised Mr & Mrs Couples Candle Gift Set (£24.95)

A gift with a story for a couple starting something new, whether they've just got engaged or moved into their first home. Your names and a date go on the candle, so it marks the moment you choose.
