Custom Gift Boxes: Personalize or Purchase

---

Why purchase a single gift and risk a total "miss" when you can find custom gift boxes for any occasion? Think about all of the times you've received a basket or box and were so excited to sift through it. Who doesn't like multiple items & variety in their gift?

The benefits should be obvious, as multiple smaller gifts increase the odds of the giftee enjoying at least a few of the items. Additionally, your gift stands out as every item from the basket or box down to the wrapping can be customized.

From completely custom ready-to-ship boxes, there are gift boxes out there for everyone, no matter how much time or money you have to spend. Also, regardless of event or occasion type, there are custom gift boxes that can be perfectly suited to fit your needs.

What Is Inside of A Custom Gift Box?

This depends entirely on the occasion, and we will list all the occasions it works perfect for later in the article. However, a combination of unique gifts and practical gifts would be a great starting point.

For example;

New Job custom box may contain; Candle, custom socks, notebook, pens, specialty candies & popcorn, engraved paper weight, etc.

21st Birthday custom box may contain; Gatorade, Advil, water, a 21 tiara, mints, chocolate, gift card, a 21 sash, photos, etc.

Newborn custom box or basket may contain; Diapers, clothes, rash cream, bottles, eye-cream for sleepless mom, beauty products, healthy energy drinks, etc.

College Graduation custom box may contain; Gift card, Champagne, Cigars, Journal, Fruit, Flowers, Chocolate, etc.

Would I Create My Own Custom Gift Box?

You have the choice to create your own or buy from the experts who already curate the perfect basket on your behalf. We will list the options of fantastic websites to view pre-made options in the last part of the article.

Questions Before Creating A Custom Box

1. What is the budget for this custom gift box? It should be obvious that before you go ahead and pick out all of the gifts inside this box or basket that you have a budget in mind. Then deciding the "what" and "how many" will be managed easier. Additionally, you'll have to think about getting the box/basket first to ensure the items fit inside and have the proper aesthetic matching look you may be in search of.
2. What is the mailing/sending situation? If this is a large or heavy custom gift box you may have to include shipping into your budget (see above). Also think about the timeline for most time sensitive occasions.
3. What is the tone and message of the custom giftbox? Obviously, a custom Christmas Gift box wouldn't include the same items as a Funeral Condolences Basket. You'll have to think about the practicality and utility of the items included, along with the personalized touch that will really make it stand out.
