Learn about how Bento Box Gifts came to be...about bento box gifts

An unforgettable presentation that turns a little gift into a special event.

Presentation might not be everything, but it counts for a heck of a lot. When it comes to gifts, a thoughtful presentation can turn a little gift into a special event. Enter Bento Box Gifts.

Inspired by a Japanese bento box lunch, with its little compartments of exquisitely presented food, a Bento Box Gift is a box full of the niftiest gift items you’ve ever seen, each nestled into its own compartment.

When your sister, friend, colleague or other gift-worthy person lifts the lid, she gets the same sense of discovery and delight that happens when a bento box (or, let’s face it, a dessert cart) is placed in front of you. There’s the “Ooh, can’t wait to try everything!”, and the “What’s this fabulous little thing over here?”, minus the raw fish, of course.

No more spending all day stressing about what to give your favorite people. Give them a collection of gifts with an unforgettable presentation and a gorgeous, reusable box made from cloth and recycled paper. Let your friend’s husband or mom give her the boring gift certificate. You can dazzle her with a Bento Box Gift.  They’re not just gifts. They’re an event.

Each season brings new Bento Box Gifts with new themes and colors.  Add your name to our mailing list for updates on what's new.

Due to discontinued or out of stock merchandise we may need to substitute an item in your box. Please be assured any new items will be equally nifty and we won’t substitute without your okay.
