PRODUCT & SCENT

What scents do the candles come in?

The available scents are listed on each product page, so you can match the scent to the person and the occasion.

What sizes are available, and how long do candles burn?

Candles come in four sizes; 2oz, 4oz, 9oz, 16oz. Larger sizes burn longer; the burn time for each size is on the product page. (20–60 hours depending on size)

Will the candle smell strong when it's lit and when it's not?

Our soy candles give a noticeable but not overpowering scent when lit. Scent strength also depends on room size, a larger size fills a bigger room.

Is the candle jar reusable after the candle burns down?

Yes, the amber glass jar is made to keep. Once it's finished, clean out the leftover wax and reuse it for small storage, plants, or a tealight holder.

PERSONALIZATION

How do I personalize the candle label?

Choose your scent and size, and we print your custom label exactly as previewed. Personalization is free; you only pay for the candle. Add your details; a name, a message, or a photo, depending on the design, and you'll see a live preview before you buy.

Can I put a photo on the candle jar label?

Yes, several of our candles let you upload a photo for the label. Use a clear, well-lit image for the sharpest print, and preview it before ordering.

What photo works best on the label?

A clear, bright, high-resolution photo with the faces close and well-lit prints best. Avoid dark, blurry, or far-away shots.

Can I write my own funny or custom message?

No, many designs are made for exactly that, from a funny candle for Dad to a humorous label for Mom. Add only the recipient’s name where the product allows, or keep the ready-made joke.

Can I preview my design before I order?

Yes, you'll see a free live preview of your personalized label before you buy, so you can check the photo, spelling, and layout before anything is printed.

CARE & QUALITY

Are your candles soy, and are soy candles better?

Yes, our candles are soy. Many people prefer soy because it burns cleanly and evenly and tends to last longer than paraffin.

How should I burn my candle in a jar safely?

Burn on a heat-safe surface, keep it away from drafts and anything flammable, never leave it lit unattended, and stop burning when about ½ inch of wax remains.

How do I make my candle last longer?

On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges (it prevents tunneling), and trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each light. That gives you a cleaner, longer, more even burn.

Are the candles clean-burning / non-toxic?

Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin with less soot.

WHY BUY FROM GIFTSHIRE

Is it really free to personalize?

Yes, adding a name, message, or photo to the label costs nothing extra. You only pay for the candle itself.

Are these made to order, and where?

Yes, every candle is personalized and made to order in the USA, then shipped to you. Nothing is mass-printed in advance; your label is printed for your order after you approve the preview.

Do you check the design before printing my candle?

Yes, your label goes through a quality check, and you approve the preview before we print, so the photo, spelling, and layout are right before anything is made.

Is my uploaded photo kept private?

We only use your photo to create your candle and won't reproduce copyrighted images.

GIFTING

Who are these candles a good gift for?

They're made for gifting; a sweet gift for mom, funny gift for dad, thoughtful gift for a teacher, or a treat for a friend.

Are these okay as wedding or party favors?

Yes, smaller sizes personalized with names and a date make popular wedding and party favors.

Can I order custom candles in bulk (for events or favors)?

Yes, custom candles make great wedding favors, party gifts, and corporate gifts. See our corporate & bulk orders page to request a quote.
