Give More Than a Gift
The Product Is
Only the Beginning.
Every Gift With a Story is designed to give the recipient something good to open — and something worth knowing about it.
We bring together memorable products, American makers, product and food history, and a personalized occasion story that explains why the gift was chosen for them.
HISTORY.
PERSONAL STORY. PACKED TOGETHER IN PENNSBURG, PA
From Our Shelves to Their Door
Four Steps.
One Complete Gift.
You make the choices that matter most. We bring the products, histories and personal story together.
CHOOSE THE GIFT
Start With the Size of the Story.
Choose anything from a small Little Story to a full Grand Story Crate. You can also start with the kind of story or occasion instead.
See the Five Gift Levels →MAKE THEIR SELECTIONS
Choose What Matters. We Curate the Rest.
Where a gift offers flavors, preferences or other choices, you select the parts that make it feel like them. The rest stays intentionally curated.
Why We Curate →TELL US WHY
Make the Reason Part of the Gift.
Tell us the occasion, who the gift is for, who it is from and the details you want us to know. We ask for personalization at the appropriate point in the purchase flow.

There Is More Than

Five Ways to Decide
How Big the Gesture Should Feel.
The story does not become more important as the gift gets larger. Only the scale of the experience changes.

Not a Random
Gift Basket.
Everything inside should have a reason for being there.
We choose products because of the maker, the place, the history, the flavor or the role the product plays in the larger experience. When you are offered choices, they are there because the choice meaningfully changes the gift.
That is also why you will not always choose every item. Curation is part of what you are giving.
Flavor, preference, occasion and other decisions that help the gift fit the recipient.
Products that complete the experience without turning gift buying into another project.
Not simply a box full of things — a connected experience with a beginning, middle and story.
What Comes With a Gift With a Story?
The Food Is Only
One Part of the Gift.
The exact contents vary by product, but the story is always part of the experience.
The Products
Carefully selected foods, drinks and pantry discoveries chosen around the gift's theme.
Product & Maker Histories
Background that introduces the recipient to the people, places and traditions behind what is inside.
The Personalized Occasion Story
A story created from the details you provide about the recipient, sender and reason for the gift.
Recipes & Guides, When Included
Some gifts add recipe cards, tasting notes, brew guides, themed guides or other ways to enjoy the products.
The Product Says What.
The Story Says Why.
Because the reason for sending the gift should not disappear once the box is opened.
Personalization Is Part of the Gift
You Give Us the Details.
We Write the Story.
The personalized occasion story is included at no additional charge on gifts that offer the story experience.
Tell us who the gift is for, who it is from, the occasion and anything else you want us to know. Depending on the product, those details may be collected directly on the product page or at the appropriate point before the order is completed.

A Few Things to Know
Before You
Send the Story.
Is the personalized story extra?
No. When a product includes the Gift With a Story personalization experience, the personalized occasion story is included at no additional charge.
Can I choose everything inside?
Not always — intentionally. Some products let you choose the preference-driven items while we curate the supporting pieces.
Do all gifts include recipes or guides?
No. Recipes, tasting notes and guides are included when they are part of that particular gift experience.
Do the product and maker stories come with the gift?
Yes. Product and maker history are part of what makes a Gift With a Story different from an ordinary gift basket.
