The Art of Thoughtful Gifting: Why Presentation Matters

Remember the time you received a gift so beautifully wrapped that you couldn't help but savor every moment of unwrapping it? You carefully pulled off the silky ribbon, gently peeled the paper back, and paused to enjoy the suspense before revealing the contents inside. It was clear to you that the person who gave you the gift paid special attention to its presentation so you would know that they were thinking of you well beyond the time it took to pick out the present.

The wrappings, boxes, and bows are more than icing on the cake, they're a subtle message to the recipient that they matter enough to go the extra mile for. The excitement of receiving a beautifully presented gift makes the item inside seem even more special. At Olive & Cocoa, we've mastered the art of gift presentation.We strive to make sure every gift received comes with an unforgettable gifting experience. From the moment the crate is picked up from the porch, to the time the last item is pulled from the wrapping, this is what the receiver of your gift from Olive & Cocoa can look forward to.

HAND CRAFTED WOOD CRATE

Most of our gifts arrive in an eco-friendly hand crafted wood crate. These beautiful, hot iron branded crates are a delightful addition to the present inside--something that reminds them of you and the thought you put into making sure they receive a gift with an unforgettable presentation. As an added bonus, our crates are fun to repurpose. From planters to storage boxes, the useful possibilities are many!

SATIN BOW

Every gift we send on your behalf is topped with an elegant satin ribbon. This finishing touch is the first impression the recipient will have. Their eyes will delight in the beauty of the shimmering threads as their hands glide over the luxurious softness of the silky ribbon. These pleasant sensations create an exciting prelude to the next step in the gifting experience.

PACKAGING

Once the recipient finally pulls the ribbon loose and pops the lid off the crate, they'll be met with a fun confetti of shredded packing to protect the contents that are gathered together in a single sheet of high-quality, natural-toned paper and secured with an Olive & Cocoa signature sticker, creating an element of suspense! Gourmet food items are individually packaged in sanitary cellophane bags to ensure freshness. Non-food items are neatly arranged and nestled in the shredded paper.

WRITTEN MESSAGE

The most meaningful gifts are those that come from the heart. That's why each thoughtfully chosen gift from Olive & Cocoa comes with a special message written from you to the recipient on an elegant ivory card. You put together the perfect, heart-felt words and we'll take care of the calligraphy!

You take great care in choosing a meaningful gift, something that perfectly befits the one you are sending it to. With the right presentation, the gift you give comes with an especially meaningful experience for the recipient. Make the gift you send even more delightful to receive by sending it the Olive & Cocoa way!
