What kind of photo should I send to put on my personalised candle?
We would prefer to receive your photo via email however you can also post your photo via post to 'Always Gifts' at PO Box 71, Mortdale NSW 2223.
Please note that there is a $5 scanning fee for photos that need to be scanned.

Please read the following tips to ensure that your photo appears at its best on your candle.

  1. All that appears on the candle will be the head and shoulders. Therefore it is the size of these within the image/photo that matters, not the size of the image/photo as a whole.
  2. The larger the image the better the quality will be, as we can reduce images that are too large. However images that are too small will give poor quality when enlarged to the required size.
  3. Please note that this refers to the original image/photo. Using computer software to increase the size of an image/photo will still result in poor quality.
  4. The head and shoulders within a hard copy photo sent by post/mail should be approximately 5cm x 5cm in size (2" x 2").
  5. If you are scanning an original photo please ensure that it is scanned at resolution of at least 300 dpi. The size of the original photo should still be as described above.
  6. If using a digital camera you must use the largest image size that your camera will allow and if possible zoom in on the head and shoulders of the subject.

If I send a photo by mail do I get it back?
If you send your picture by mail/post we will endeavour to send it back to you with your candle. However, I accept no responsibility for any poor handling by Australia Post which may cause any damage to or the loss of your photo while in transit. Please note that there is a $5 scanning fee for photos that need to be scanned.

Do I need to pay extra to have something printed on the back of my personalised candle?
No, the cost of $60 for your personalised candle includes having baby's photo on the front with baby's name and date/venue of occasion, and a poem or prayer with godparent's names printed on the back of the candle. There are no additional fees for the cost of your personalised candle.

How do I put my own poem on my personalised candle?
On all personalised candles you can request your own prayer or poem to appear on the back of your chosen candle. When you fill out our online form, there is a section which allows for your own poem or wording. Please leave blank if you want to choose from our standard poems. Please type in your own poem/prayer in the space provided taking note of the max amount of characters you can have in your poem/prayer.
