Jervois Road Gifts is a small maker of handcrafted soy candles and gift boxes, on Methuen Road in New Windsor, Auckland. The owner started making candles for friends and family, and launched the business in 2022, naming it after Jervois Road where they had spent time helping at a dementia home. The candles are made in New Zealand in small batches, and the owner still packs every order. The range includes personalised candles with a custom label, premium gift boxes for birthdays, housewarmings and client gifts, reed diffusers, room sprays, hand wash and body wash. Corporate and bulk gift orders are also taken.
Customers praise the scents, which they say last well, and the caramel popcorn candle is named as a favourite. Buyers have sent the gift packs to friends overseas, and some say the custom labels make a candle look thoughtfully chosen. Delivery across New Zealand is free over $99, and orders are dispatched within two to four business days. The website offers 10% off for new customers and on your birthday, and 10% off when you buy two or more items, excluding clearance. It also says a scent can be returned if it is not right.
