California gift baskets
Since 2016, Minny & Paul has specialized in local. We source products from small businesses and understand the complexities (and huge benefits) of supporting indie makers with high-volume gifting.

We specialize in location-based gifting that highlights the businesses in your backyard. Sending a gift with no story behind it can get lost in the noise. Intentionally gifting artisanal products sourced from small businesses within your community allows your corporate gifts to truly resonate with your recipients and leave a lasting impression. Plus, your brand can show off its values and alignment with the people of California. A gifting win-win!
One gift, so many indie brands' dreams supported
When you send a California gift basket, it brightens not only your recipients' day but also the local artisan's whose livelihood you're supporting.
Working with us means you can stop your endless search for quality, local products to feature in your California gift boxes. We already have an extensive network of 200-plus local makers that spans across Napa Valley, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Loomis, and beyond. We have found the best gourmet foods, delicious treats, and elevated home goods that California has to offer. Some of our favorite local partners include Makabi & Sons, Joolies, Copper Cow Coffee, Kika's Treats, and Sun & Swell Foods.
Just as we specialize in location-based gifts, we can also design gifts based on a theme. For example, we can make gifts filled with products that feature brands that are minority- or women-owned, and/or businesses that give back. No matter what you've got in mind, our diverse vendor roster allows us to craft your perfect gift.
Our experience
Since 2016, we have been living and breathing gift giving. Our founder Laura Roos launched Minny & Paul out of her duplex. Since then, we have continued to grow and scale project by project. We have worked with clients across all industries including MI Homes, General Mills, Best Buy, Allianz, the NCAA, AT&T and many more. What started in a single room is now operating out of a 7,500 square foot production facility. We source, pack, and ship everything in-house. This allows our team to control the experience from start to finish for the highest level of care.
Tastefully branded California gifts for any occasion
Working with Minny & Paul means you have access to all the best local products you will be proud to put your name on. We also recommend showing off your business with the packaging - like a branded sticker seal, box band, or ribbon.

How are your gift boxes different than the traditional gourmet gift baskets I see from Harry & David?+-
We love a wine gift basket or fresh fruit gift tower like the rest of them, but to break through the noise - especially during the holiday season - a Minny & Paul corporate gift will stand out. Not only because everything inside the gift is from small makers you can feel proud to support, but because the packaging is elevated and eco-friendly. Clients have seen it all, they are looking for something unique, something that doesn't feel generic that will truly make them feel appreciated.
Do you ship gifts internationally?+-
We, unfortunately, do not ship our ready-to-ship online shop collection or business gifts internationally at this time. However, we do have gifting partners abroad that we partner with to create and send gifts to any of your international recipients.
Does the title of the gift box or gift basket go anywhere on or in the box?+-
If you are shopping for business gifts from our online shop, the gift box name is included on the packing slip.
Do you include receipts in the packaging?+-
No way! We don't want to spoil the gift of course. As the gift giver, you will receive an email confirmation for orders placed online that can serve as a receipt. If you need something additional, please email us at hello@minnyandpaul.com. For business and custom gifts, you will have a copy of the invoice.
Can I send gift baskets for clients to multiple addresses?+-
Absolutely! If you are using our online shop, our "Multi Ship" tool at checkout makes it easy to send multiple gifts to various addresses.
