Light a Candle, Share the Warmth
Each Ohana candle is crafted in New Zealand with care. Every purchase gives back to local charities across Aotearoa.
The Heart Behind The Flame
At Ohana Collections, we believe that light is meant to be shared. Each candle is lovingly crafted with pure soy wax and infused with fragrance oils.
But the light of Ohana doesn't end with the flame. Where others invest in costly, decorative packaging, we choose to give differently.
Every Ohana candle is thoughtfully packaged for safe delivery, with the savings donated directly to a charity of your choice.
Your candle not only lights your home - it helps illuminate lives across Aotearoa.
Ohana means family - and every candle is our way of sharing love, one gentle glow at a time.

Christmas Spice
Warmth, Tradition, Togtherness
Wrap yourself in the warmth of the season. Christmas Spice captures the essence of holiday gathering with its blend of Cinnamon, Clove and Orange. Familiar scents that feel like home. The scent deepens with rich Cognac and settles into a warm base of White Cedar, Labdanum and Tonka inviting you into a moment of pure comfort.
Endless Summer
Light, Freedom, Joy
Chase the feeling of sun-warmed skin and endless horizons. Endless Summer opens with a burst of citrus; bright Bergamot and Mandarin that awaken the senses like a coastal breeze. At its heart, wild Mint and Lavender bring a cool, refreshing balance, while the scent settles into warm Amber and Citrus Musk that ground you in the moment.
Calm Haven
Peace, Serenity, Stillness
Find your breath in the quiet moments. Calm Haven embraces you with the soothing essence of Eucalyptus and French Lavender. A gentle invitation to let go and simply be. As the scent unfolds, it grounds you in warm Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Vanilla that wraps around you like a whisper.

I love the whole concept behind The Giving Flame. Buying a candle that gives back just feels right. The ordering process was easy and I can't wait for my Calm Haven to arrive. I love finding a brand that combines beautiful products with genuine purpose. Already planning my next order!

I've pre-ordered Christmas Spice as a Christmas gift, and ended up ordering more for myself. The story behind Ohana makes it even more beautiful. Its the kind of gift that truly gives twice!

FAQs
Answers to Your Burning Questions About Our Candles
What are Ohana candles made from?
Every Ohana artisan candle is hand-poured in New Zealand using 100% natural soy wax and fragrance oils. We use cotton wicks and minimal ingredients - no paraffin, no toxins, just a clean, beautiful burn.
What is "The Giving Flame" initiative?
The Giving Flame is our way of giving back. Instead of adding costly, decorative packaging, we send your candle in safe, simple courier packaging - and donate what would have been the packaging cost to a charity of your choosing. It's how we keep our light spreading further.
Will my candle arrive safely without premium packaging?
Absolutely! While our packaging is intentionally minimal, each candle is securely wrapped for protection during delivery. We prioritise safe arrival while removing unnecessary costs - turning that saving into something more meaningful.
Can I choose which charity to support?
Yes. At checkout, you'll have the option to select from our list of partnered New Zealand charities. Every candle makes a difference.
What is your return policy on Ohana candles?
Due to the nature of candles, we cannot accept returns or exchanges unless the products arrive damaged. Please contact us within 48 hours of receipt with photographic evidence if there are any issues.
How long will my order take to arrive?
We're currently taking pre-orders for our release of The Giving Flame collection. Candle pouring starts at the end of November, with deliveries scheduled to start from the beginning of December - just in time for the festive season. Each candle is poured with care in small batches, so your order will be freshly made, cured, and read to fill your home with light.
