Key to your heart: gift ideas

A key is a beautiful symbol of trust and an open heart. A key or padlock gift says without words: you have access to my thoughts and feelings. Here are some ideas for using this symbol in handmade gifts.

Key-shaped soap and candles

Silicone moulds with keys and hearts let you quickly make elegant soap from melt and pour base. Add a pearlescent pigment and the soap will look like an antique piece of jewellery. Small scented candles can be poured the same way with materials from our candle making range.

Jewellery and keepsakes

An old key painted gold and tied with ribbon becomes an original pendant or key ring. A heart padlock pendant with a matching key makes a paired gift for couples.

A secret box

Make a small wooden box with a lock and fill it with notes, shared photos or little gifts. Give the key separately, for example in an envelope with a card. Finish the wrapping with ribbons and bows from our ribbons and bows section.
