Holiday Gift Guide 2020: Curated Box Edition

How is it already November? This year has flown by, and I’ve already found myself knee-deep in holiday shopping, and by knee-deep, I mean trying to come up with ideas for friends and family! Sometimes I find it hard to pick a gift for someone, and when those feelings come around, I lean in towards our locally curated gift boxes. Our creative makers have put great thought into carefully sourcing and styling curated gift boxes, so we don’t have to.

They’re great gifts for friends, family near and far (easily shipped), clients, your boss – pretty much everyone in your life. I’ve put together a list of local boxes that cover any theme you’re looking for – maybe even one you hadn’t thought about.
