At Goodness Gift, we believe that every gift should tell a story—one of creativity, passion, and positive social impact. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to one of our talented candle makers, Gajeena. With a background in biotechnology and a heart for both art and community service, Gajeena brings a unique mix of scientific precision and creative flair to her candle-making craft. This combination makes her candles the perfect choice for personal gifts, business gifting, or home décor.
A Blend of Science, Art, and Passion
Gajeena studied Biotechnology at Centennial College, and her interest in lab work has naturally flowed into her love for candle making. Just as in a lab, candle making requires precision, consistency, and attention to detail—skills Gajeena has mastered. She ensures that each candle is crafted with care, from heating the wax to pouring it perfectly into molds. Her commitment to quality results in candles that are not only beautiful but also long-lasting, making them ideal for enhancing any home or office setting.
But Gajeena is much more than a scientist. In her free time, she expresses her creativity through fanfiction, collaborating with other writers on Tumblr to craft imaginative stories. She’s also an avid visual artist, often sketching characters that reflect her unique artistic style. This creativity comes to life in her candle designs, where her eye for detail ensures that each candle is not only functional but also a piece of art—perfect for anyone looking to elevate their home décor or give a thoughtful gift.
A Commitment to Community and Inclusivity
Gajeena’s passion for making a positive impact doesn’t stop at candle making. She also spends her free time volunteering with 5N2, a charity dedicated to providing equitable access to food support in marginalized communities. Her commitment to giving back reflects the broader mission of Goodness Gift—to make a difference not just through beautiful products, but also by supporting meaningful causes.
At Goodness Gift, we are proud to provide employment opportunities to individuals with autism, like Gajeena.

Gajeena’s incredible focus and attention to detail are just some of the many strengths she brings to her role, showcasing the unique talents that individuals with autism offer in the workplace. Her contributions help make every candle a special piece, whether it’s used as a gift, for business gifting, or as a way to brighten up your home.
Expert Candle-Making Tips from Gajeena
Gajeena’s precision and passion for candle making make her an expert in the field, and she has some helpful tips for those who want to try their hand at crafting candles at home:
"If, after the initial heating round, the wax hasn’t completely melted, it’s better to follow the manual and heat in 30-second intervals rather than one long 1 minute and 30 seconds. Wax can react differently each time. Also, when cleaning your equipment, don’t wash it in the sink—the wax will harden in the pipes and cause clogs, which are expensive to fix!"
Her dedication to precision ensures that each Goodness Gift candle is made with care, delivering high-quality, long-lasting results that customers love. These candles are perfect for enhancing the ambiance of your home or as a thoughtful gift for friends, family, or colleagues.
