START WHERE YOU ARE

You do not need to know the candle yet.

FOR MEI need something.

Start with how you want your own room or evening to feel. Duende will guide the direction from there.

FOR SOMEONEI mean something.

Start with the person, what happened and what you hope they feel when the gift arrives.

BY MOMENTSomething happened.

Birthday, bad day, new home, missing them, a new chapter or absolutely no occasion at all.
