Gifting FAQs & Expert Buying Tips

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

What makes Scent Nation candles the best gift for Mum?

Scent Nation candles are hand-poured in Australia using 100% natural, sustainable soy wax and clean-burning, lead-free cotton wicks. Formulated strictly without toxic paraffin or harmful chemical additives, our candles are available in two premium sizes: Medium (225g, over 40 hours burn time) and Large (285g, over 50 hours burn time). What makes them truly special is the personalisation—each candle is customisable with Mum's name, custom candle labels printed in premium glossy or matte vinyl, and heartfelt messages, creating a luxurious sensory gift she will always remember.

Are your Mother's Day candles safe to burn around pets?

Yes, absolutely. Scent Nation is Australia's leading pet-safe home fragrance authority. Our candles are strictly dog-safe, cat-safe, and pet-friendly. We formulate our premium scents entirely without toxic essential oils (like tea tree, eucalyptus, or citrus oils) or petroleum waxes which can release harmful toxins. To ensure maximum safety, always burn your candle in a well-ventilated area and place it on a stable surface high enough so that paws cannot knock it over.

How fast will my custom gift for Mum be dispatched?

We pride ourselves on our industry-leading dispatch times. Even though each gift is personalised and handcrafted to order in NSW, our standard 24 to 48-hour dispatch applies. Please note that during peak holiday rushes—such as Black Friday and the Christmas season—production times may be slightly extended due to high order volumes.
