Seeking an app to sell a single “custom gift set” product of 6 candles, each with 2–3 scent choices, while deducting inventory per selected candle in the admin.
Recommendations:
Profit Bundles: Uses native Shopify products. Constraints: Shopify allows only 3 choices (options) per product and a maximum of 100 variants per product. Viable if the 3-choice limit fits.
Easify Product Options: Displays the gift set as one product with multiple scent choices. By assigning prices to options, it creates separate items in the admin. Can enforce an exact total of 6 selections via a quantity selector. Images show storefront result and settings; visuals are central to understanding setup.
JTDL Bundles & Discounts: Supports “Build Your Own Box” with 6 candle slots and 2–3 scent options per slot. At checkout, each candle is added as its own SKU (stock-keeping unit), ensuring accurate inventory reduction. No theme edits required; offers a free demo.
Status:
No decision reported by the requester.
Preference for a free solution noted, but pricing/free status of suggested apps remains unclear.
Key terms: “SKU” = individual item identifier for inventory; “variants” = combinations of options (Shopify limit: 100 per product).

I want to build a customizable gift box set for customers.
The gift box allows lets say 6 candles.
For each candle, the customer should be able to select from 2/3 choices of scents that I specify.
In product page (frontend) this will appear as single product under my menu “custom gift sets”.
But in admin panel of course each candle is a product on its own, and we minus 6 products from inventory depending on what customer chose.
However, I can’t find a good, preferably free app to do this as I only have 3 gift boxes like this to make.
Any recommendations please?
Thanks!
This can be achieved through our app, Profit Bundles. However, since the bundles created through our app are native Shopify products, there is a limit: only 3 choices are allowed per product, and a total of 100 variants are allowed per Shopify product. If you can work within the 3-choice limit, our app can support this setup for your store.
For creating a customizable gift box like this, I recommend trying Easify Product Options. It’s perfect for setting up multiple choices for each candle scent and keeps your product page clean by displaying the gift set as a single product.
To ensure that the product page (frontend) displays these as single products/ options under your “custom gift set” while in the backend it appears as separate products, you simply need to set the price for each option (scent) like this. It will automatically create a separate item in your admin panel (without being visible on the frontend).
To make sure that your customers will choose exactly 6 scents from your 2/3 choices of scents that you specify, just enable the Allow Quantity Selector for Value Option in Advanced Settings and set Exact Total quantity to 6
