Founder's Message
A little over a year ago, I went through one of the hardest times in my life. I leaned heavily on friends and family and, at some points, felt total despair.
One day, I was moping around when the doorbell rang. I ignored it, but later noticed a small package sitting outside. I had no idea what it was. It wasn't an Amazon box, so I opened it, not knowing what to expect.
My sisters had sent me a self-care box.
I can't recall all the items, but it was beautifully packaged with a few small gifts and a beautiful card. It was the first time I had received a box like this that wasn't for a birthday or holiday.
I instantly started crying, but this time they were tears of gratitude. I felt so touched that they had taken the time to send me this gift. After all, they had already spent hours on the phone with me, sometimes just listening to me cry. So this little box was such a wonderful surprise from two of my favorite people.
As I started The Gift House, I really wanted to carry that feeling into my business. I wanted to find carefully selected items that were both useful and beautiful. Not a bunch of bulk items, but special pieces you might not think to buy for yourself. Little treats you could enjoy with a cup of tea. Beautiful bookmarks to mark your pages. Simple things that bring a little joy to an ordinary day.
I've always loved looking for gifts and little things for my family and friends, and now I get to carry that love into choosing pieces for you.
With our custom boxes, I work directly with you, using your guidance while searching for little treasures that feel just right for your recipient.
I truly hope you enjoy some of my first creations, and I look forward to spreading a little joy to your circle of people.
With love,
Jenn 🤍
