The Birthday Gift Box
Luxury magnetic keepsake boxes, packed with intention. Inside, a solid luxury magnetic box, celebration sweets & chocolate, a celebratory drink or flutes and a lasting keepsake to keep, picked for them rather than pulled off a shelf.
Best seller. 524 sent so far.
Free shipping anywhere in Canada, and 1 to 3 days once it is on its way.
Pick a preferred delivery date at checkout. No price on anything inside.
I pack each one by hand, so the photo shows the style rather than the exact box. If it arrives damaged I replace it.
Type it on the card below, up to 280 characters. I write it onto the card that goes on top.
The card is the part they keep.
You type it when you order. I write it out in pen on a real card and set it on top, so it is the first thing they read.
280 characters left. Your message goes to checkout with you.
What a box like this holds
What goes in changes with the season, so I describe it by feel rather than listing it. The shape of it never changes.
Each tier arrives in a solid-color rigid keepsake box with concealed magnetic closures and satin ribbon presentation, with no text on the box.
Something to pick at while the candles are still going, and something chocolate for after.
Something to raise a glass with, alcohol-free, and the glasses or the mugs to raise it in.
Hand-poured celebration candles, a soft waffle-knit or chunky cable-knit wool throw blanket, and gold-foil milestone journals.
How it turns up at their door
No warehouse. One box, tied, with your card on top, and no price on anything inside.

Tied and boxed. Nothing on the outside says what it cost.
Packed tight in paper so nothing moves on the way.
The lid comes off, and there is no price on anything inside.

What a birthday is really about
A birthday is the one day a year that belongs entirely to one person, a chance to tell them they matter without needing a reason beyond that. It is not about the number on the cake, it is about being seen and celebrated by the people who know them. The best birthday gift feels chosen for who they are, not picked off a shelf in a hurry.
Why this box fits the person
A box lets you celebrate someone properly even when you live a few provinces away, arriving with a card you wrote rather than a printed tag. Each one is packed by hand in Canada and matched to the person, so it feels considered instead of last-minute, scaled to how big the day is for you both. It says you paid attention, which is the part of a birthday that actually sticks.
For the one day a year that is entirely theirs.

"Bought for my wife's birthday. She said it was the most thoughtful gift I've ever given her. I barely did anything."

Questions people ask me
What is actually in it?
A mix chosen for the person: something sweet, something warm to drink, something soft and something they keep. What goes in changes with the season, so I describe it by feel rather than listing it.
When will it arrive?
Shipping is free anywhere in Canada and takes 1 to 3 days once it is on its way. I cannot promise an exact date, so order a week ahead and pick a preferred delivery date at checkout.
Can I write my own message?
Yes, up to 280 characters, and I write it out by hand on the card that sits on top.
Can it go straight to them?
Yes. Put their address at checkout, and I ship it straight to them. There is no price on anything inside.
Which size should I pick?
Three sizes, $119, $189, $299. The size decides how full the box is, not what kind of thing goes in. Premier is the one most people send.
Do you ship to a whole team?
Yes. 5 to 25 boxes you can order yourself, more by quote, each with its own handwritten card. Write to me at swipeforgifts@gmail.com.
If you are not sure which size, write to me at swipeforgifts@gmail.com and tell me who it is for. I read every email, and I write back.
