Founded in 2016, GiftMyStatus began with a simple vision: to create handcrafted candles that bring warmth, comfort, and joy into people's homes. What started as a small workshop with a single artisan has grown into a dedicated team of skilled craftspeople, all united by a passion for quality and a love for creating products that inspire.
Our journey began when our founder, Emma Clarke, discovered the therapeutic benefits of candle making during a difficult period in her life. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a calling as friends and family raved about the quality and uniqueness of her creations. Encouraged by this positive feedback, Emma decided to share her passion with a wider audience, and GiftMyStatus was born.
The name "GiftMyStatus" reflects our belief that the candles we create are more than just decorative items – they're personal gifts that elevate the status of any space and occasion. Each candle we craft carries with it our dedication to excellence and our commitment to creating moments of peace and joy in the lives of our customers.
Today, we continue to handcraft our candles in small batches, ensuring that each one receives the attention to detail it deserves. Our workshop in East Tanyaburgh has expanded, but our principles remain the same: use only the finest ingredients, honor traditional techniques, and create products that bring light and fragrance into homes around the world.
We never compromise on the quality of our ingredients. From premium soy wax to pure essential oils, we use only the best materials to create our candles.
We're committed to sustainable practices, from our recyclable packaging to our use of renewable soy wax and our efforts to minimize waste in our production process.
We honor traditional candle-making techniques while incorporating modern innovations to create products that are both timeless and contemporary.
We believe in giving back to our community. A portion of our proceeds goes to local charities that support mental health and wellness initiatives.
Our dedicated team brings together diverse skills and a shared passion for creating exceptional handmade candles. Each member contributes their unique expertise to make GiftMyStatus a brand known for quality and creativity.
