Founded by Mads Panchoo, editor of online parenting magazine THE LONDON MOTHER, Mads says, "I've had the idea for BOXD for over a year, but it was only during lockdown that I had time to put my plans into action, offering a curated selection of products that all age groups would be pleased to receive as gifts. The gift boxes can be sent for any reason or season."
Each item in every BOXD gift box is thoughtfully selected and the contents include organic chocolate from French brand Le Chocolat des Francais, stationery from luxury stationer Katie Leamon and tech accessories from Wild + Wolf. BOXD gift boxes contain items beautifully hand-wrapped in tissue paper and in custom gift boxes that are 80% recycled material and 100% recyclable, reusable and biodegradable, despatched in compostable postage bags!
BOXD sells items in three categories and stock is regularly refreshed and updated. Shoppers have the option to choose next day delivery (orders placed before 12pm) - perfect for any last-minute gift giving.
Whether you're looking for a bridesmaid proposal gift for your wedding, a 'Will you be my bridesmaid?' gift, a maid-of-honour gift box or are planning on sending bridesmaid thank you gift boxes or gifts to your girls, BOXD can help you put together the perfect boxes for your bridal party.
With lots of gift ideas and illustrated cards for before or after the wedding day, bridemaids and boxes for the gents too can be personalised if you so desire.
