ABOUT US

Small Gifts. Big Moments.

Life is made of moments — new homes, milestones, moments when you want someone to feel seen, appreciated, loved. At PVD Gifts, we create small but meaningful gifts for life’s big moments: from our housewarming candle gift boxes, wrapped and ready to send; to mini spa sets that feel like a personal escape; to customized matchboxes that carry a memory in every strike.

Handmade by a Family Who Cares

We’re Valerie and Dan, a husband-and-wife team based in Providence (PVD). Every product is made in-house, with love and attention. We create the candle scents, pour candles, and packaging each box, to ensuring what you send is ready to gift. We believe the little touches matter, and they reflect how much we value you whether you’re buying for someone else, or for your own home.


Why PVD Gifts Feels Different

  • Ready to Give: Our gift boxes arrive beautifully wrapped, so you don’t have to do the work. Perfect for surprises, thank-yous, or last-minute moments.
  • Customer-Loved & Trusted: Realtors use our gifts for clients, many of our customers come back again and again, and we’re honored to have hundreds of 5-star reviews that speak to the quality and care we put in.
  • Curated Scents & Handmade Quality: We handpick every fragrance, pour every candle, and design each gift so it delights — smells that evoke memories, feel warm, and enhance the everyday.
  • Community Matters: Being small means we see you — your feedback, your repeat orders, your trust in sending our gifts to others means everything. We’re proud to build something rooted in relationships.



We Make Every Gift Count


PVD Gifts isn’t just about candles and boxes. It’s about helping you mark life’s moments with something that matters — a gesture, a memory, a feeling. Because the little gift often holds the big meaning.

Valerie creates and pours all fragrances by hand in the studio. Scents are crafted based on favorite memories like laughing over coffee with a dear friend (barista), a big bit of wedding cake (celebration), or laying on a beach listening to the waves (summer).

As requests for her home fragrance line grew, her husband Daniel started to support logistics and operations. Dan labels, packs, and ships each order with care.

Our mission is to create gifts that our customers are proud to send to their loved ones. Each scent is carefully curated to add a signature fragrance to a space.


ABOUT OUR STUDIO

All of our candles, wax melts, and sprays are created by hand and in microbatches. They have two ingredients: natural wax and candle-safe fragrance oils.

Our proprietary blend of coconut and apricot waxes is the most eco-friendly option for common natural waxes such as soy and beeswax. Natural waxes have become more popular as an alternative to traditional paraffin.

All fragrances are of the highest quality and are 100% phthalate-free. We are sensitive to scents that trigger headaches, only safe fragrances are used. We avoid many essential oils as they can be toxic to pets and children.

 

To create candles, we handpour wax into amber-colored jars with 100% cotton wicks, free of zinc and lead.
