Mother's Day Candle Gift Guide

by The Calyan Team April 14, 2021

We may be biased, but nothing says, “Hey mom, I love you and I think you're the best!” like a 100% soy wax scented candle.

Let’s be honest, MOMS ROCK!
And they deserve to be celebrated.

Here are 6 scents we recommend to help you celebrate your mom this Mother's Day!

Seaside + Citrus

Is your mom the ‘kicks off her shoes, sprints towards the water, soaking up the sun till the sun goes down, ready to do it all over again tomorrow’ kinda mom? This scent will send her mind straight to the beach with smelling notes of sea mist, verbena, and mandarin.

Grapefruit + Flora

This scent pairs well with a great novel, a fresh cup of tea, and a sunrise coming through the open window. If this describes your mom, give her this calming blend of grapefruit, rose petal, and iris.

The Legacy Candle

For all the moms out there who are world changers (really all moms are world changers!), this candle makes the biggest impact! Rather than our normal donation of 5% donated per purchase, we donate $10 to our partner non-profit every time someone purchases The Legacy Candle on our site. Enjoy the sophisticated blend of apricot, honeycomb, and pomegranate in a stunning limited edition copper-toned vessel.

Lavender + Bergamot

How could we leave this one out? Nothing says “Hey mom, relax and slow down.” like the smell of lavender blended with sweet citrus lemon. Help her enjoy some peace with this calming scent.

Desert + Agave

Desert roses, sandy landscapes, light rainfall, and not a forest in sight. This candle is for any mom heard saying, “You know what I love? That sweet smell in the air right after a gentle rain.”

Vetiver + Tonka

Refined, rich, and luxurious. This sophisticated scent has been said to smell like a well-dressed man. For other scents that tend to be more masculine, try Oakmoss + Amber, Cedar + Tobacco, Musk + Teakwood, or Aspen + Fog.

Best candles ever

I heard of Calyan Wax Co. on a Jennie Allen podcast episode a couple of years ago, and fell in love with the candles and the mission!! Favorite candles ever. They have great ingredients, don't smell too strong, and I love that they give back to a great cause. The Home + Holiday candle is so cozy!

Earth + Forager

I found the scent, Earth + Forager while in a trip at Whole Foods, and immediately upon smelling it I put it in my basket. Later I found out I can’t seem to find it outside of Whole Foods. I hope to see this when I’m there bc I LOVE it. To make it even better, it seems Calyan Wax Co supports those fighting human trafficking. I would love to continue purchasing this specific scent. 💕

Love is in the air

I still remember the shop in the seattle airport where i first smelled this scent! I was on a layover at the end of my trip and I couldn’t wait to light it when I got home 4 hours later. The first thing i did when i got home at midnight was light it! The aroma filled the room, which made my home feel more like! 10/10 recommend! I’ve found other candles I like but I always keep coming back to this one!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our Oakmoss + Amber Amber Jar candle. Glad we could help make your home a little more cozy!

Only these candles…

I do not like most candles because they smell fake and are fake! These are the most delightful of all candles! I particularly like the evergreen and eucalyptus for the holidays. I always order a bunch to give as little gifts. Just delightful!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the Mini Evergreen + Eucalyptus Amber Jar. We pride ourselves on creating authentic scents that bring joy to our customers. And with 100% soy wax!

So good!

I took a chance on a new scent and it’s divine! I hope you keep this scent. The container is really nice and I love the new lids!!

Thank you for taking a chance on our new Mahogany + Cashmere candle! We are so happy to hear that you love the scent and the new vessel design. We will definitely keep this scent in mind for future products. Thank you for your support!
