What Exactly Is a Gift With a Story?
We start with products worth giving. Then we add the part most gift boxes leave out: where those products came from, why we chose them, and why this particular gift is being sent.
The Goods
American Makers
Small-batch artisans, family businesses, local producers and heritage brands selected for quality, character and a reason to belong in the gift.
The History
The Story Behind What’s Inside
Product and maker cards introduce the people, places, traditions and surprising American histories connected to what they are opening.
Made Personal
Their Story, Too
Tell us the occasion and who the gift is for. We include a personalized occasion story so the gift says more than a standard message card ever could.
The real histories behind the products—and a story created for the person receiving them.

Sometimes the easiest way to find the right gift is to begin with why you are sending it. We have already matched gifts to the moments they fit best.
When the Reason Matters More Than the Size

Build the College Parcel →The Hearth & Home Comfort Parcel
Soup, bread, tea and something sweet for difficult days, quiet evenings and a little comfort at home.

Business Gifting, Without the Generic Box
Corporate Gifts With Something Worth Saying.
Client appreciation. Employee recognition. Referral thank-yous. Holiday lists.
We can coordinate one premium gift or a larger recipient list while keeping the experience personal. Choose a collection, add your company message and let the maker stories give the gift more substance than another logo item.

Glass doors, nickel meals and coffee poured from dolphin-head spouts.
The American Soda Fountain
Where pharmacies, fizz, ice cream and everyday gathering came together.
Coffee, Chicory & the French Market
