The Verba Gift Guide 2025: Modern, Thoughtful Gifts for Every Home
Edited in Toronto — shaped by design, scent, and the quiet art of intention.
Gift-giving has changed.

Today, people want gifts that feel considered — not generic. They want something beautiful, something that elevates home rituals, something designed with taste.
Verba was created exactly for that moment.
Handcrafted in Toronto, sculpted like modern objects, built on clean-burning coconut–apricot wax, and shaped with niche perfumery, Verba candles are not just fragrances. They’re atmosphere. They’re rituals. They’re a quiet expression of good taste.
Welcome to our curation of thoughtful, intentional gifts for every type of home, personality, and aesthetic.
1. For the Design Lover
Objects that speak softly but change the room.
Design lovers don’t want “cute gifts.”
They want form. Line. Texture. Weight. A sense of modernity.
Verba candles deliver exactly that — sculpted, minimal, architectural vessels that feel more like collectible objects than simple candles. Each piece carries its own presence: a matte finish, clean geometry, and a silhouette refined through months of testing.
Best Picks:
Soft Bound — warm, enveloping, tactile.
Unleashed Saffron — bold, atmospheric, modern.
Both live like interior accents — the kind of pieces you’d see on a marble coffee table beside a linen-bound book.
Perfect for architects, creatives, aesthetes, interior stylists, and those who treat their homes like curated spaces.
2. For Scent Connoisseurs
Those who don’t want simple fragrance — they want niche.
Some people don’t simply “like scents.”
They understand them. They look for blends that feel expressive, textured, and intentional — closer to niche perfumery than traditional home fragrance.
For them, Verba offers scents crafted with depth and clarity.
Bold where they should be bold, soft where they should be soft, always modern and always clean.
Best Picks:
Oud Péché — dark, intimate, refined.
Sweet Tobacco — warm smoke balanced with sweet spice.
Unleashed Saffron — ambered saffron with leathery warmth.
Soft Bound — soft leather, citrus clarity, atmospheric depth — calm, smooth, and unmistakably niche.
These are fragrances shaped for people who want more than a pleasant room smell.
They want a scent with character — something that lives in the air and feels unmistakably intentional.
3. For Couples — “Her Rules / His Choice”
A quiet, elegant game between black and white.
Verba’s philosophy is built on the dance between contrast: white and black, soft and bold, her and him.
For couples, our candles become a symbolic gift — a choice between two moods, two aesthetics, two personalities… both living in the same home.
Gift Idea:
White Candle + Black Candle Pair
One bright, clean, effortless.
One deep, warm, intriguing.
A quiet message: two sides of one story.
Perfect for newlyweds, anniversaries, engagements, housewarmings, or couples who enjoy rituals together.
4. For Minimalists
Clean lines, soft scent, nothing unnecessary.
Minimalists love intention and hate visual noise.
For them, Verba candles fit effortlessly: sculpted vessels, clean-burning wax, and softly modern aromas.
Best Pick:
Cozy Neroli
A calm blend of neroli, jasmine, and yuzu — bright but not loud, soft but not faint.
It feels like fresh air in a neutral home with linen curtains and warm morning light.
Pair it with our white sculpted vessel for peak minimalist beauty.
5. For Hosts
When a bottle of wine just isn’t enough.
Host gifts need to be thoughtful, elevated, and easy to love.
The answer is Verba’s Discovery Set.
Best Pick:
Scent Roulette Discovery Candle Set (6 mini candles)
Six moods.
Six sculpted minis.
Six ways to set a room.
Elegant, impressive, and gift-ready right out of the box.
Perfect for dinner parties, holiday gatherings, new homes, and “thank you for having us.”
6. For Pet Parents
Because a beautiful home and a safe home should be the same thing.
Pet owners are often careful with candles — and Verba is the perfect safe gift here: clean-burning coconut–apricot wax, wooden wicks, IFRA-safe fragrance formulas.
And the perfect pairing?
Best Pick:
Cozy Neroli Candle + Verba Paw Foam Cleanser
The scent is soft and airy.
The foam is gentle, pH-balanced, and aloe-enriched — ideal after walks.
A gift that feels caring, practical, and beautifully designed.
7. For People Who Want “Something Different”
Not common. Not basic. Something with personality.
Some people are impossible to shop for — not because they’re picky, but because they enjoy originality.
These gifts work for them:
Best Picks:
Both are expressive, atmospheric, and layered — scents that feel confident and distinctive.
This is the gift someone opens, smells once, pauses, and says:
“Okay… this is different. In the best way.”
8. Premium Gifts (For When You Want It to Be Unforgettable)
A sculpted centerpiece — bold, architectural, unforgettable.
When a gift needs to feel truly special, choose the Verba L-size candle: a large, three-wick sculpted vessel with presence, weight, and design impact.
It fills the room even before it’s lit — a statement object in matte white or deep black.

Best Pick for Premium Gifts:
L-size 3-wick Verba Candle
A centerpiece.
A sculptural accent.
A premium art object that sets the tone of the whole room.
This is the gift you choose when you want the moment to feel meaningful, elevated, and unforgettable.
9. The Perfect All-Around Gift: The Verba Experience Box
For when you want them to experience everything.
A complete Verba box — the sculpted candle, the Discovery Set, the matchbook, the signature packaging — becomes a multi-sensory, design-forward experience.
It works for:
• parents
• friends
• weddings
• coworkers
• housewarmings
• holidays
• anniversaries
• anyone you want to surprise with something beautifully intentional
A gift that says:
“I chose something made with care.”

A Gift That Lives Beyond the Moment
A candle is more than scent.
It’s the soft crackle of a wooden wick.
The smooth glow of coconut–apricot wax.
The presence of a sculpted vessel.
The mood it sets — quietly, steadily, beautifully.
Verba gifts don’t say “here’s a candle.”
They say:
“This made me think of you.”
“This would look beautiful in your home.”
“This matches your energy.”
That’s the magic of intentional gifting.
That’s the Verba way.
