Corporate gifts and customisation

Giftbox Boutique handles corporate orders and offers a dedicated collection for businesses. Gifts can be customised with the client's branding or tailored to a specific theme, and the company manages orders ranging from single units up to a thousand units. Uses it mentions include employee rewards, real estate settlements and product launches. The site states that it works with corporate clients such as EVES, Barfoot & Thompson, Lowe & Co and Bayleys, and provides a form for bulk orders.

Shipping and how it works

The company dispatches orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday the same day, although delivery times vary by destination. Shipping is free for orders over 180 New Zealand dollars to a single delivery address. Coverage is nationwide, with deliveries in the main cities (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch) and in the regions. Orders can be sent directly to the recipient.

Origins and approach

According to its own presentation, Giftbox Boutique was born with the intention of offering beautifully presented gifts, from a simple thank-you to a more elaborate birthday. The company describes its offering as everyday luxury gifts, selected and packaged from its online studio. The site includes an Airpoints programme and a customer reviews section.
