Gift from One Mum To Another
Matilda was born during my own journey into motherhood. As a mum who loves beautiful home fragrances, I struggled to find candles that felt truly designed for pregnancy, postpartum and life with little ones. Most were either heavily scented or simply not created with families in mind.
​
What began as a personal search became a collection of candles handcrafted specifically for mothers and growing families.
​
Whether you're looking for a baby shower gift, a thoughtful postpartum gift or a meaningful way to support a new mum, every Matilda candle is designed to bring comfort, calm and small moments of care during the most transformative season of life. A gift from one mum to another.

Created by a mum, for mums
Matilda began during my own journey into motherhood when I couldn't find candles that felt truly designed for homes with babies and young children.
Designed to become part of meaningful family rituals
From slow mornings and contact naps to bedtime cuddles and quiet evenings, each scent was created to support the small moments that shape family life.
Beautifully presented in a reusable cotton pouch
Instead of disposable gift packaging, every candle arrives in a cotton pouch that can continue to be used for pacifiers, baby essentials, nursery items and everyday family organisation.
