Gift Boxes

Gift Boxes, Filled and Hand-Packed in Cape Town Since 1999

A gift box should feel like someone thought about it. Ours are filled and hand-packed at our Cape Town studio, the same way we have made gifts since 1999, so what arrives is a real present rather than empty packaging. Inside you might find good chocolate, a bottle of wine, pamper treats, gourmet snacks or fresh flowers, chosen to suit the person and wrapped by hand. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day gift box delivery in Cape Town, or send one to Johannesburg and the rest of South Africa in 2 to 4 business days with our nationwide courier.

Filled Gift Boxes, Not Empty Cardboard

Search for gift boxes for sale in South Africa and half the results are empty boxes you still have to fill yourself. Ours are the opposite. Every box leaves our studio already filled, hand-packed and finished, so you send a complete gift, not a craft project. Start with a crowd-pleaser like our Luxury Biscuits box or the generous Cheese and Bread Hamper, or browse our snack hampers and gift baskets. For ideas on what makes a box feel considered, our gift basket guide is a good place to start.

Gift Hampers for Every Taste

If you are not sure where to begin, a hamper does the choosing for you. Our Steenberg Safari gift box pairs local wine with treats, the Luxury Picnic box is made for an afternoon outdoors, and the Sweet Serenity and Heavenly Harmony hampers lean sweet. For something lavish, the Opulent Oasis and Ultimate Snack Luxury Box go all out. Our edible flowers feature shows how we think about gourmet detail.

Gift Boxes for Her, for Him and for Men

Some gifts are easier when the box is chosen with a person in mind. For the women in your life, the Lady of Leisure box, the Scent of a Woman box and Birthday Treats for Her are easy wins, and there is more in gifts for her. For the men, our Essentials Gift Box for Men and the gift boxes for men and gifts for him ranges keep it simple. There are also dedicated boxes for a dad, a husband, a wife or a girlfriend.

Luxury Gift Boxes and Gourmet Treats

When the moment calls for something special, our luxury gift boxes bring together the best of what we pack. The Golden Ferrero Rocher bouquet, the Vineyard Treat box and the Krone and Calm Pamper Hamper feel indulgent without trying too hard. Add a bunch of flower bouquets or a dozen from our roses for sale range to any order. Our guide to thoughtful, sustainable gifts helps you choose well.

Gift Boxes for Birthdays, Anniversaries and Every Occasion

A good gift box fits almost any occasion. For a birthday, pair a box with our birthday gifts or read our online birthday gifts guide, or match their birth month with our birth flower finder. There are boxes to mark an anniversary, to say congratulations or thank you, and gentler ones to send get well soon. For a loss, our sympathy flowers and funeral flowers are the kinder choice. Our gift guide for mothers and heartfelt gifts for mom help for the people who are hardest to buy for.

Corporate Gifting and Gift Boxes for Clients

Gift boxes are one of the easiest ways to thank a team or a client well. Our corporate gifting range and dedicated gift boxes for clients handle volume orders, branded notes and delivery to several addresses. A Ready to Share picnic basket or a Tickle My Fancy box works for a single desk, while larger orders go out by courier nationwide. Our the power of flowers piece explains why a real gift lands better than a card.

What to Put in a Gift Box

Not sure what to include? The trick is one theme, done well. Pick a lane, whether chocolate, wine, coffee, pamper or something celebratory, then build around it. A Sunshine in a Gift Box keeps things bright, while a Tea Time Treat suits a quieter thank you. Add fresh flowers for someone local, or keep it all non-perishable to send further afield. Our Mother's Day gift ideas and Christmas gift guide show how we build boxes people remember, and gifts for men covers the trickiest recipient of all.

Curated in Our Claremont Studio, Supporting South African Makers

The best gift boxes lean local, and ours are no different. Every box is curated in our Claremont studio, where we have been making gifts since 1999, and filled with treats we would happily give ourselves: South African chocolate, local wine, biscuits and pamper products from makers we trust. Because we buy well and pack by hand, a box like our Simply Scrumptious Snack Gift Box arrives looking as good as it tastes. Supporting local makers is not a slogan for us, it is simply how a Cape Town studio shops.

Find the Right Gift Box, Faster

When you know who the box is for, start there. Our gift boxes for women gather the pamper, sweet and celebratory favourites in one place, and our birthday gift box range is the quickest route when there is a birthday this week. If it is the moment rather than the person guiding you, browse our gift boxes by occasion and let the day narrow things down. Every box in every collection is curated, filled and hand-packed before it leaves us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you put in a gift box?

Our gift boxes are filled with real treats: good chocolate, wine or bubbly, gourmet snacks, pamper products, biscuits and often fresh flowers, chosen around a single theme. Every box is hand-packed at our Cape Town studio and finished ready to send, so you never receive empty packaging to fill yourself.

What is the difference between a gift box and a gift hamper?

A gift box and a gift hamper are close cousins. A gift box is usually a smaller, curated selection presented in a box, while a gift hamper is larger and more generous, often in a basket, made to share. Both leave us filled and hand-packed, never empty. A box suits one person, while a hamper suits a household or a whole team.

How much do gift boxes cost in South Africa?

Our gift boxes suit a range of budgets, and every box shows its current price on its own card, kept up to date automatically. You can shop by budget with our gifts under R500, gifts R500 to R999 and luxury gifts R1000+ edits. Local delivery in Cape Town is a flat R89.95.

Yes. Because our gift boxes and hampers are non-perishable, we courier them anywhere in South Africa within 2 to 4 business days. In Cape Town you can also choose same-day delivery when you order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday.

Can I personalise a gift box or add a handwritten message?

What are the best gift boxes for her or for him?

For her, the Lady of Leisure, Scent of a Woman and Birthday Treats for Her boxes are favourites. For him, the Essentials Gift Box for Men and our gift boxes for men range keep it simple. There are also boxes made specifically for a wife, husband, dad or girlfriend.
