Corporate Gifting
Corporate gifts with your logo in the glass, not on a sticker.
We manufacture custom branded candles for client gifts, employee appreciation and holiday programs, printed directly onto the glass or laser engraved into it, so the branding is part of the object rather than a label that peels. Made to order in Los Angeles, from 50 units.
Why it works
Gifts people keep on the desk.
Most branded corporate gifts announce themselves as branded corporate gifts. A sticker on a jar reads as a giveaway, and it ends up in a drawer.
Our candles are decorated two ways, both permanent. Direct-to-glass printing lays full color onto the vessel itself, up to a full wrap, PMS-matched to your brand. Laser engraving etches into the glass, and the mark glows from within when the candle is lit.
Either way there is nothing to peel off, nothing to fade, and nothing that looks like swag. The vessel is heavy-walled glass people keep after the wax is gone.
In every room it lands.
Direct-to-glass printing and laser engraving. Both are permanent.

Shipping
One order. A hundred desks.
The hardest part of a gifting program usually isn't the gift, it's getting it to everyone. Remote teams, client lists, a board spread across four cities.
Send us a spreadsheet of names and addresses and we handle the rest: individually packed, individually labelled, shipped direct to more than a hundred destinations from one purchase order. You approve one proof and receive one invoice.
Personalised card inserts can go in each box if you want the gift to arrive with a message rather than just a logo.
What it gets used for.
Client gifts
Year-end, deal close, renewal. The ones that need to look considered rather than procured.
Employee appreciation
Milestones, onboarding kits and team-wide sends, shipped to home addresses.
Holiday programs
Plan by early autumn. Q4 production books out, and 10–15 days is from artwork approval. See holiday corporate gifts.
Events & conferences
Speaker gifts, VIP tables and booth giveaways worth carrying home. For tour, premiere and product-launch drops, see merch candles.
Real estate closings
A branded gift at handover. See closing gift programs.
Hospitality & spa
Guest rooms, turndown and retail. See hotel amenity programs.
Gifting under your own label rather than ours? See private label programs, or every published price.

Made in Los Angeles
Made here, not sourced and stickered.
Fragrance, printing, engraving, pouring and packing all happen in our own facility in Los Angeles. Nothing is imported and relabelled, which is why the lead time is measured in days rather than months and why there is no customs risk between you and a dated gifting deadline.
Custom Candles L.A. is a certified woman-owned business, founder-led for more than twenty years, which matters if your company reports on supplier diversity.
The brands we produce for include fashion houses, record labels, hotel groups, brokerages and studios. See the full range, or read how we work.
Questions buyers ask.
What is the minimum order for corporate gifts?
50 units on candles and reed diffusers, 100 on bar soaps, 250 on bath bombs. Every minimum is published here.
What should we budget per gift?
$21.00 to $36.00 per candle depending on size, decoration method and quantity. The table above is the actual price list, not a starting-from figure. Boxes, PMS matching and custom fragrance are extra.
Can you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes. Send a spreadsheet of names and addresses and we pack and ship individually to 100+ destinations from a single order, with one proof and one invoice.
Is the logo a sticker?
No. It is either printed directly onto the glass in full color, up to a full wrap, or laser engraved into it. Both are permanent. Engraving glows from within when the candle is lit.
Can you match our brand colors exactly?
Yes, we PMS-match on printing, and on wax and packaging where the format allows.
Can we use our own scent?
Choose from 25 signature fragrances or commission a bespoke scent developed for your brand. Browse the library.
How long does it take?
10–15 business days after artwork approval. Physical samples ship in 3–5 days. Rush production may be available, so ask early, especially in Q4.
Can we see one before committing?
Yes. Order a single sample with your own artwork on it, so you can see the print or engraving on the real product before a full run.
Can we include a personalised card?
Yes. Printed card inserts can be added to each box, including individually addressed messages on drop-shipped orders.
Are they made in the USA?
Yes. Designed, poured, decorated and packed in our own Los Angeles facility. We are a certified woman-owned business.

We will come back with pricing, a lead time and a proof of your logo on the candle.
