How do you feel when you give a gift? Many of us love the feeling it gives us. As a result gift giving is good for our wellbeing. Our happy hormones (Endorphins) rise and we build stronger connections with those that benefit from our act of kindness. Gift boxes are an effective and easy way to send a gift to a loved one. But how has this changed, and how do we send a personal and meaningful gift box?
So how has gift giving changed post pandemic?
During the pandemic we lost our freedom to visit physical shops. Also we were unable to wrap and deliver a gift in person. This led to the growth in people sending gift boxes. Ordering a gift box online became the ideal way to send a gift.
A gift box, like a hamper, is a collection of gifts presented in a decorative box. Mostly the gifts inside are concealed with attractive tissue paper or packaging making it exciting for the recipient to receive. Gift boxes are a great affordable way to send a gift. After the Pandemic sending gift boxes became the preferred way to send a gift.
Sending a meaningful gift box

Sending a Personalised Gift Box

Selecting the right gift box
A small gift box company that donates to a great cause will make your gift more individual. This will reflect how much thought you have put into your gift.
Sending an Eco Gift Box
If your friend or relative values their eco credentials, then seek out a sustainable gift box option. Corrugated boxes are both sustainable, and eco-friendly in nature because they are 100% recyclable and are biodegradable.

A gift box for someone in need?
A care package is a great option if you are looking for a gift box with heart and meaning. This can be a lovely way to support someone through a challenging time.
Historically care packages were a package sent out after the war containing food, clothing, or other necessities for the needy. You can read more on the history of care packages in our blog The First Ever Care Package. We have devised a modern definition of a care package gift... A care package is a package or box sent to a loved one containing food and other items of comfort.
A care package is the ideal cheer up gift box for a sick friend going through a difficult time. For more cheer up gifts read our blog on cheering up a friend.
