All dishes →
A small hand-cast eco resin dish is a sweet gift for the mom-to-be, a safe spot for her rings by the bed or the basin. Pair it with a candle. The dishes are for rings and decor, not for food.
Gender reveal
Gender reveal favours.
Hosting a gender reveal? Pink and blue are the classic colours. Our standard colours have no blue, so try blush with dove grey or sage. Or keep it a secret with cream or ivory for everyone.
For a custom colour, ask us for a quote. Custom colours take at least 6 weeks.
Label ideas:

Good to know.
- What do you give guests at a baby shower?
- A small thank-you gift, also called a favour. A little candle, like a teddy or a heart, is one guests will use at home. Add the baby's name or a short thank you on the label.
- How much do baby shower favours cost?
- Baby shower favour candles start at R 40 per guest with a printed name label: the Scallop Shell at R 30, plus R 10 for the label. Put the baby's name or a short thank you on the label. Bigger candles and keepsakes cost more. Each card on this page shows its live price.
- Can the label have the baby's name?
- Yes. Up to 25 characters, for example "Welcome baby Lwazi". If the name is still a secret, use "Baby" and the date, or a short thank you. It costs R 10 per candle, with no minimum.
- Can I get pink or blue candles?
- Pink, yes: choose blush or rose. Our standard colours have no blue, so dove grey, sage or lilac are good soft choices. For a custom colour, ask us for a quote. Custom colours take at least 6 weeks.
- How early should I order baby shower favours?
- As early as you can. Candles with a personalised label are dispatched within 3-5 business days. For 20 or more pieces, ask us for a quote first: about 1 to 3 weeks in our standard colours, or at least 6 weeks for custom colours. Order once the shower date is set. If the name is still a secret, order with "Baby" and the date on the label.

- Yes. The same candles work for a christening, a baptism or a naming day, with the baby's name and the date on the label. For 20 or more pieces, ask us for a quote.
- Can I collect in Midrand?
- Yes. Choose collection at checkout and collect free of charge in Midrand, Johannesburg. Or we courier anywhere in South Africa. On a quote, we can also send to your venue, or to more than one address.
- What are the candles made of?
- Our moulded candles are a blend of soy wax, beeswax and a little coconut wax, with a cotton wick. Candles poured into our vessels, like the Fluted Tumbler, are pure soy wax, with a cotton or wooden wick. We make them in small batches in Midrand, Johannesburg, and we never use paraffin.
