New Zealand largest online gift hamper retailer, Giftbox Boutique has recently released its range of isolation gifts for Kiwis recovering at home from Covid-19.

With Omicron moving through the community and other winter illnesses beginning to bite, many Kiwis are finding themselves in recovery mode, isolating at home.

“It’s no fun being sick”, says Giftbox Boutique Director, Katie Gray.

“With so many people currently isolating around the country, we decided to put together a range of care packages to help boost the morale of an isolating friend, family member or co-worker”.

Packed full of sweet and savoury gourmet treats, Giftbox Boutique’s range of isolation care packages are the perfect accompaniment for those currently couchbound.

“It can be quite stressful when we get sick”, says Gray. “It can be hard to shake the feelings of guilt that we should be getting back to work. It is great to see Kiwis take a responsible approach, protecting their friends and co-workers by isolating at home.”

“We hope our new range of isolation gifts can give those recovering a sense that they should rest easy and that their friends or co-workers are wishing them the best”

Giftbox Boutique’s isolation gift hampers are now available for purchase through their website. All gift hampers are delivered directly to the recipients door, throughout New Zealand.

The company is also offering the option to further personalise your isolation hamper by adding items from their single items collection.

Online gift retailer Giftbox Boutique has raised $17,864 for the I Am Hope charity through their pre-Christmas donation drive. Every year leading into the Christmas period, Giftbox Boutique runs their red ribbon campaign.

The red ribbon campaign offers customers the option to replace the standard black ribbon with a festive red ribbon for an additional $1. Giftbox Boutique then matches all these donations resulting in a $2 donation for every gift box that leaves their depot with a red ribbon.

This year the company set a goal to make this red ribbon appeal their most successful to date. They managed to blow last years’ donation out of the water, doubling their collection from 2020.

The 2020 red ribbon appeal saw an impressive $8,804 raised for the SPCA.

“We are over the moon with the results of our 2021 red ribbon appeal”, says Giftbox Boutique Director, Katie Gray. “Being able to double our donation from last year is a real testament to our supportive customer base”.

The 2021 red ribbon appeal varied slightly from past appeals. In the past, the company left it up to their Facebook followers to vote on the chosen charity for that year.

“We were a little worried that removing the voting aspect could hurt our chances of raising a large sum. After such a testing year, we wanted to contribute to a charity that contributed to supporting Kiwis with their mental health. I am Hope was the perfect fit”.

“We are so happy that our lovely customers felt the same way and really threw their support behind it”.

The next ribbon appeal from Giftbox Boutique will commence in the lead up to Mother’s Day and will be available on the purchase of all Mother’s Day Gifts.

Giftbox Boutique has launched its blue ribbon appeal, an initiative which will raise money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ.

The online retailer sells gift baskets and hampers and will be giving their customers the option of adding a decorative blue ribbon to their order for an extra one dollar. Giftbox Boutique will then match this donation, meaning two dollars donated to Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ for each gift basket purchased with a blue ribbon.

Occasions like Father’s Day are traditionally Giftbox Boutique’s busiest. So, the company run their charity drives around these occasions. Recently the company ran a pink ribbon appeal for Mother’s Day, an initiative which saw over $2700 raised for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

“Our customers have been very receptive to our previous coloured ribbon campaigns”, explains Giftbox Boutique Director, Katie Gray. “We expect this Father’s Day to be our busiest to date so we are extra excited to see how much we can raise for the Blue September Campaign”.

Blue September is an annual campaign by the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ to increase awareness, encourage men to get checked and fundraise to eliminate death and suffering from prostate cancer.

Each year, New Zealand loses roughly 600 men to prostate cancer. Many of these deaths are preventable if we detect the disease early. Too many men suffer in silence and only get checked when it is too late.

“Blue September is such an important campaign”, says Gray. “It encourages open conversations around prostate cancer and gets the word out about the dangers of the disease. The foundation relies solely on donations, so we are encouraging all our customers to get on board with our blue ribbon drive”.

A blue ribbon can be added to any order made on the Giftbox Boutique website between now and Father’s Day. The 2020 Father’s Day gift range is now available to purchase, and users can select their blue ribbon upon checkout.
