Gifting FAQs & Expert Buying Tips

Everything you need to know about Scent Nation's personalised, pet-safe soy candles.

Why is a personalised candle the perfect milestone birthday gift?

Custom birthday candles are an elegant, functional, and highly sentimental keepsake. Whether you are celebrating an 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, or 60th milestone birthday, Scent Nation allows you to custom-print the recipient's name, age, birth month flower, or a customised candle label in high-quality glossy or matte vinyl. Housed in premium glassware, it is a sensory luxury gift that is completely unique and cannot be found on mass-market shelves.

What safety precautions should I take when burning your candles around pets?

While our soy wax and premium fragrance formulations are 100% pet-friendly, dog-safe, and cat-safe, standard candle safety is essential. Always light your candle in a well-ventilated area to allow clean air circulation. Ensure the candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface kept high enough in the room so that active paws or tails cannot accidentally knock it over.

How fast will my personalised birthday candle be dispatched?

Even though each candle is customised and hand-poured in NSW, we maintain a rapid 24 to 48-hour dispatch time. This quick turnaround applies year-round, except during major shopping events and holiday rushes—such as Black Friday and the busy Christmas season—when transit and processing times may be slightly longer.
