#2: Custom & Personalized Gifting Takes Center Stage
Personalization continues to be one of the most powerful trends following into 2026. But it should go beyond just adding a name or logo!
For Individual:
Choosing gift box themes based on lifestyle or interests
Adding handwritten notes for a personal touch
Selecting products that feel thoughtful and elevated
For Businesses:
Custom corporate gift boxes designed for clients or employees
Branded packaging that feels refined, not promotional
Messaging that reflects company values and appreciation
What We're Doing: We always offer handwritten cards with a variety of designs to choose from and you can also add handmade dried floral bundles to your gifts to make them feel extra special. And this year we are rolling out the option to add printed photos to your gift and even frames for them to go in!
Below are custom gifts we created to promote a Netflix movie that included personalized dog treats and a framed photo of the recipient and their dog!
#3 Locally Made Gifts Are In High Demand
Another defining trend of 2026 is the desire to shop local and support small businesses. People want to know where products come from and who they’re supporting with their purchase.
Local gifting has become especially important for:
Community-focused shoppers
Real estate professionals welcoming new homeowners
Businesses wanting to support local makers
By choosing locally-made products and working with local artisans, gift boxes feel more meaningful and connected to place.
What We're Doing: Being based in Texas, we always have and always will support local small businesses and makers in our gift boxes. We have Texas-themed gifts to choose from and are always excited to source new products that our clients requests. We also offer custom local gifts for other cities and states! We've created beautiful gifts containing all local products for our clients hosting conferences and retreats in cities like Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Diego, Park City, Dallas, Austin and more!
