BeCandle
One of Hong Kong’s original candle brands, BeCandle is based out in Sai Kung and offers several lines of beautiful homemade candles made from soy and vegetable wax. For a unique leaving gift, check out the candle crafts made to look like dim sum delicacies – they even come housed in a cute bamboo steamer. We also love the travel candles that come in a tin, and the Moon Laboratory aroma diffusers, with scents inspired by different parts of Hong Kong.
Rushlight Candle
Proudly plant-based, this vegan candle company offers adorable jar candles made with US soy wax and aroma blends from Australia. We love Rushlight Candle’s cute jar candles, which range in price from $128-$188.

WoodCo’s candles are too cute, with their chic graphic designs, sophisticated scents and eco-friendly coconut and soy wax blend, as well as bamboo wicks. Their “fun-sized” tin candles start at just $120, while regular-sized candles are $380. Aromas include negroni, wild garden, spring rain and fresh sheets, to name just a few.
Moonglade Candle
Made with coconut or soy wax, Moonglade Candle specialises in bespoke scents for corporates, weddings and events, though you can purchase retail online too. The candles themselves are just too pretty, with dried flowers and other natural decorations that make them look as good as they smell. In addition to candles, Moonglade also creates room sprays and essential oil blends.

Tiny Island Maps
Local gift company Tiny Island Maps has two candles. – Hong Kong and Kowloon – that make perfect, stylish gifts for anyone leaving town. Made in partnership with BeCandle, the Kowloon candle smells like ginseng, jasmine, tangerine and oud, while the Hong Kong Island scent has notes of osmanthus, pomegranate, guaiacwood and vetiver. Both candles are $490 and come in a beautiful terrazzo container that you’ll want to keep forever.
The Lion Rock Press
This popular gift company offers a selection of hand-poured soy wax candles to remind you of home.
