Gift Wrapping Services

You can now add gift wrap to any order under our ‘Extras’ section. We try to use our signature luxe boxes where possible but sometimes due to unusual dimensions of certain products, it is necessary to use alternative gift wrap. We will always wrap each order with meticulous care and attention. So, if it’s not one of our beautiful Kraft boxes it will be our exclusive quality wrapping paper with illustrated bees and florals.
