Celebrating The Old Line State

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 local brands allows your corporate gifts to truly resonate with your recipients. Plus, your company will be able to show off its own values and alignment with your community. A gifting win-win!

One gift, countless Maryland-based makers' dreams supported

When you send gifts that highlight Maryland brands, it brightens not only your recipients' day but also the artisan’s whose dream you’re supporting.

Working with us means you can stop your search for quality, USA-made, local products. We have a large network of artisanal Maryland makers spanning across the Chesapeake Bay into Baltimore, Frederick, and beyond. Some of our favorite partners include Autumn Woods Collective, Mouth Party Caramels, DRNK, Tessamae's, Baltimore-based Southeastern Roastery, Himua Ni, and Arrows + Fathers Co. Our vendor roster of more than 200 small businesses (and growing) allows us to craft the 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 in St. Paul, Minnesota. We source, pack, and ship everything in-house, which allows our team to control the experience and handle any special instructions from start to finish for the highest level of care.

Tastefully branded Maryland gift baskets 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 brand with the packaging - like a branded sticker seal, box band, or ribbon.

What our Clients are saying

I recently received a box from someone after my breast cancer diagnosis. It was such a sweet surprise, and a beautiful gift. I immediately knew this was what I needed to send to a couple of our employees who have some exciting things happening in their lives. Thanks again!

We offer 3 month, 6 month and 12 month contracts. Reach out to hello@minnyandpaul.com to learn more!

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 corporate 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. If you are ordering more than 25 units with our Online Shop with Branded Touch option, we will email you a .csv file to use as a template for your addresses.
