Our story

A small studio, a long table, and rather a lot of ribbon

GiftNest started in 2017 on a kitchen table in Greenpoint, wrapping presents for friends who kept insisting we should charge for it.

We still work the same way. Everything is packed by hand in our Brooklyn workshop, from papers we mill ourselves and ribbon we buy by the roll from a family in Como. We only sell things we'd happily receive, which turns out to be a surprisingly effective filter.

  • Recycled and recyclable papers on every order
  • Twenty-two independent makers, paid up front
  • Carbon-offset delivery, no plastic in the box

In their words

Nine years, forty thousand gifts

I sent the hamper to a client who is impossible to impress and she emailed me about the ribbon. The ribbon. That is the whole review.

Ordered at half one, it went out that afternoon and arrived the next morning three states away. My mother assumed I had planned ahead.

We use GiftNest for every client thank-you now. Forty boxes, forty different handwritten notes, and not one of them looked mass produced.
