The Best Candle Gifts for Expecting Moms
It’s no secret that candles make an amazing gift, but the best natural candles for pregnancy have a few important qualities that make them extra giftable for mom-to-be. When we were searching for the best candles to stock in our gift shop for expectant Moms, we wanted to ensure that we only carried clean burning, non-toxic candles that Mom would feel good about burning inside her home while she’s in full-on nesting mode. We landed on a collection of four hand-poured coconut wax candles that’ll fill Mama’s home with all the cozy warmth and none of the harmful ingredients or overpowering scents of the mainstream brands.
Lighting a warm, cozy candle at the end of the day has been one of our favorite rituals for years and we are so happy that Mamas all over the country can enjoy our favorite candles for pregnancy!
All of the candles at Nurtured 9 feature:
Light, calming fragrances that are blended with a mix of the best phthalate-free essential oils.
Virgin coconut crème wax that’s a blend of natural soy and coconut waxes, giving it a smooth, creamy white finish.
Wooden wicks that not only offer a cleaner burn, but also give off a slight crackling sound that’s very relaxing! All of the wicks are naturally processed and sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified mills.
Each non-toxic candle is poured in small batches in Portland, ME.
A rosewater and dewy hibiscus top scent makes this candle both cozy and refreshing; It’s been specially balanced for sensitive mom-to-be noses.

Nurtured 9 Gilded Bloom Candle
If a warm waft of summer roses and a chilly gust of wintry pine had a baby, this would be its scent. This cheerful candle comforts and cozies with its nod to a seasonal scent, while still feeling warm, fresh and feminine.
Mood Enchanting/Floral
Top Lemon Rind/Lemon Flower
Middle Canadian Fir Needle/Sandalwood
Base White Rose/Blue Spruce
Near & Native Ginger, Coconut & Amber Candle
This scent is super complex - you immediately get the fresh ginger mixed with lime, lotus and coconut. But it settles into a base of deep amber and Guaiac Wood. It’s a scent that somehow takes you away to a sun-kissed day at the beach, while simultaneously making you want to curl up with your warm tea and snuggly blanket.
Palo Santo is an incense burned by Incas, indigenous people of the Andes, and Shamans for spiritual purifying, energy cleansing, and healing. We prefer it to burning sage in your space due to its more woody and cleaner scent. We're using a natural Palo Santo fragrance oil with hints of orange, clove, and cypress combine for a fuller, more sophisticated Palo Santo.
