How to Build a Thoughtful Custom Gift Box

Sometimes you know exactly what someone needs, and it’s not a pre-packed gift set. That’s where a custom gift box comes in.

Creating a personalised gift is one of the simplest ways to show you’ve really thought about the person you’re buying for.

Whether it’s a celebration, a thank you, or just a little “thinking of you” moment, building a gift box lets you tailor every detail to their taste.

Here’s how to build your own:

Step 1: Start with the Person

Who are you buying for? What do they love? What’s their ideal evening - bubble bath and book, or chocolate and Netflix? Think about their lifestyle, what they’ll actually use, and what will make them feel seen and appreciated.

Step 2: Choose a Few Hero Products

You don’t need to overthink it. Pick 3 to 5 items that complement each other. Some simple combinations:

  • Pampering Night In: Sheet mask, bath salts, silk eye mask, luxury chocolate.
  • New Mum Energy: Herbal tea, body balm, calming pillow spray, planner.
  • Just Because: Hand cream, mini candle, vegan sweets, compact mirror.

The beauty of a custom box is that you can mix and match based on budget, personality, and the message you want to send.

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches

Make it feel special. Add luxury packaging, and a handwritten note with your message. If it’s a surprise, we won’t include receipts or order info inside.

You can write a message during checkout, or keep it short and sweet:

  • "You deserve this. Enjoy."
  • "Just a little something to brighten your day."
  • "You’ve got this. Proud of you."

Step 4: Send It Their Way

We’ll wrap it beautifully, pop your note inside, and send it straight to their door.

A custom gift box doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to feel like it came from you.
