The Uptown GiftBox Company

Never been so impressed

The Uptown GiftBox is a company that has redefined gift giving and receiving. Gone are the days when a wicker basket full of stale biscotti will do! My first experience with this growing company was on the receiving end...I can honestly say that I have never been so impressed. The packaging was to die for...gorgeous hatbox wrapped in delicate silk ribbons with the most amazing colour combinations. I couldn't wait to see what was inside. And then, I opened it. Good lord. I didn't want to take it apart because it was like a work of art. Everything inside was top end...items I wouldn't buy for myself that would be found in a chic boutique. Handmade shortbread blended with edible petals, organic tea in silk infusers, Egyptian cotton towels, bamboo slippers, each item carefully placed and wrapped with delicate ribbon. Later, I discovered that the person who sent it to me told them a little about me and they customized my gift. But, it was like they knew exactly what I would like...that is an art. Since then I have used their services and from the moment you call to the moment you hang up, you realize you are talking to people who are passionate about what they do. They love 'getting it right' and spend the extra time to do it. Can't say enough about them.
