Why Small Businesses Make the Best Gifts (Yes, We’re Biased—But We’re Also Right)

Kevin Biju

Let’s face it. When you buy from a small business, you’re not just choosing a product—you’re choosing intention.

At BoxedTreasure, we may be small, but we believe that’s our strength. Every ribbon tied, every note printed, every single gift box we send is packed with more care, thought and joy than you’ll find in any mass-produced “gift set” off the supermarket shelf.

Here’s why shopping small—especially when it comes to gifting—makes a big difference.


1. You’re Not Just a Number

When you order from us, we actually know your order. We see the ribbon colour you picked, we read your message, and we personally pack your box. No robots, no conveyor belts—just people who genuinely care about getting it right.


2. Every Detail Matters

We’re obsessed with the little things—how the ribbon sits, how the box feels when it opens. Those details? They matter. Because they show someone that you didn’t just buy a gift—you chose one.


3. Your Purchase Supports Real People

Behind BoxedTreasure is a real small business with dreams, bills, and late nights. When you place an order, you’re helping that continue. You’re putting your money where your heart is—and we never take that for granted.


4. We’re Built for Personalisation

Unlike big chains, we don’t offer “one-style-fits-all” gift sets. You can choose your ribbon, your tying style, and your message—all wrapped up in a neat little box that fits through the letterbox.

It’s gifting made easy, and made personal.


5. You Get Something Truly Unique

No mass-produced bath sets here. Every gift box we make is a little different. Yours could be the exact moment someone smiles for the first time all day. Or the thing they tell everyone about at work tomorrow.

That’s what a small business gift can do.
