One gift, countless indie brands' dreams supported
We source products exclusively from small, independently owned businesses for our gift boxes. This means your single gift not only brightens your recipient's day, but also the artisan's whose dream you’re supporting. We also design gifts that feature minority- and women-brands, as well as businesses that give back. Our vendor roster of more than 200 makers (and growing) allows us to craft the perfect gift for your specific occasion.
Our experience
Since 2016, we have been living and breathing gift giving. 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. This allows us to control the experience from start to finish for the highest level of care.
Tastefully branded touches
With event gifts, we embrace company logos and customization. Working with Minny & Paul means you have access to all the best 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.

Do you have an option where I can order a bunch of corporate gift boxes/baskets at once and you ship them out when I want?+-
Yes! We offer retainer based gifting for our business clients. We ship gifts on-demand as needed. When you submit a request with the shipping address(s), we ship the gift(s) within 1-3 business days. 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?+-
Yes indeed!
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. We will also provide you with the address template for Fully Custom orders. If you have any questions, you can always email us at hello@minnyandpaul.com.
What if our recipient has an allergy or another concern?+-
We are happy to accommodate any allergy concerns for your gift recipients. Simply let your gift design expert know during the consult phase.
What happens to a delivery when the recipient isn't there to receive it?-+-
If the recipient is not available to receive their delivery, the gift will be left at the delivery location. Minny & Paul cannot be held liable for theft or damage of the gift, if the intended recipient is unavailable to receive their delivery.
