Five years ago, I set out to redesign traditional gift hampers into the most stunning, modern keepsake gift boxes that are as exquisite as the work you do. In the early days, I created a few gift boxes a week from my kitchen table - and that was often done with a baby in the front pack. Fast forward to 2021, and we now send thousands of gifts from a commercial warehouse in Hawke's Bay and have an incredible team who are super passionate about helping people connect through gorgeous gifts.Our fresh approach to gift giving means you can confidently send beautiful gifts to anywhere in New Zealand without losing that personal touch.
