The Best Comforting Sympathy Gift: The Remembrance Candle by Lyttelton Lights
In times of loss, finding the right words or gestures to express sympathy and support can be challenging. At Lyttelton Lights, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a world of difference. That’s why we created our Remembrance Candle, a heartfelt gift designed to offer comfort and keep cherished memories alive. This makes it one of the best comforting sympathy gifts you can give.
The Story Behind the Remembrance Candle
The Remembrance Candle holds a special place in our hearts. It was crafted in honour of our founder Laura's Opa, who inspired the Fig & Apple Blossom fragrance. This fragrance was chosen for its comforting and nostalgic qualities, evoking the feeling of being surrounded by loved ones.
When Laura's Opa fell ill, he wanted to do something meaningful for his family, knowing he might not be there for future celebrations. Laura created a small batch of candles with a heartfelt message etched on each jar: "If there ever comes a day where we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever." These candles were given to family members, and they continue to be a symbol of togetherness and remembrance during special moments.
Why the Remembrance Candle is the Perfect Sympathy Gift
When searching for the best sympathy gifts, it’s essential to choose something that conveys thoughtfulness and care. The Remembrance Candle is more than just a candle - it’s a symbol of love, memory, and connection. Whether for a friend, family member, or loved one, this candle is a way to honour those who have passed and provide comfort to those who are grieving.

Comforting Fragrance: The Fig & Apple Blossom fragrance was carefully selected to evoke feelings of warmth, peace, and comfort. It’s a fragrance that gently fills the room. The floral notes also remind you of a bouquet of flowers, making it the perfect sympathy gift.

How to Incorporate the Remembrance Candle into Sympathy Gifting
Sympathy gifting is about showing empathy and support during challenging times. The Remembrance Candle can be a standalone gift or part of a larger sympathy package. Here are a few ideas on how to incorporate it:
-
Personalised Gift Package: Pair the Remembrance Candle with a handwritten note, a photo frame, or a memory book. This creates a personalised package that can help the recipient reflect on cherished memories.
-
Memorial Gatherings: The candle can also be used during memorial gatherings or anniversaries, where lighting it becomes a ritual to honour and remember a loved one. It can also be lit during weddings as a way to honour those who cannot be there.
