Request PricingSo...how do we actually help you do that?
To make this happen, you need a specialized team of corporate gift basket experts who understand your target market and will help you navigate your gifting initiative from start to finish. Whatever your marketing objectives, Minny & Paul has the expertise to help you meet your business goals with ease and efficiency.
Our experience
Since 2016, we have been living and breathing corporate gift boxes. Our founder Laura Roos launched Minny & Paul out of her duplex. What started in a single room is now operating out of a 7,500 square foot production facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. Thanks to these years of experience, we've developed the expertise to make your gifting initiative extremely high-impact. We have worked with clients across all industries, including General Mills, Best Buy, The Smithsonian, Target, the NCAA, Squarespace, and many more.
One gift helps support so many small business owners
We are proud to source exclusively from small, independently owned brands. This means your single gift brightens not only your potential client's day, but also the artisan’s whose dream you’re championing. We understand the complexities (and huge benefits) of supporting indie makers with high-volume gifting. We've proven that partnering with makers is a win-win for everyone. Our vendor roster of more than 200 artisans (and growing) allows us to craft the perfect gift for your specific needs.
How it works
We have three easy ways to send corporate gifts with us:
1. Online shop: Leverage our pre-designed gifts with no minimum quantities. Order on-demand as needed and create an account with us to track and organize all of your orders.

Yes! We offer retainer based gifting for our business clients. We ship gifts on-demand as needed. When you submit a request with the shipping address(s), we ship the gift(s) within 1-3 business days. We offer 3 month, 6 month and 12 month contracts. Reach out to hello@minnyandpaul.com to learn more!
How are your gift boxes different than the traditional gourmet gift baskets I see from Harry & David?+-
We love a wine gift basket or fresh fruit gift tower like the rest of them, but to break through the noise - a Minny & Paul corporate gift will stand out. Not only because everything inside the gift is from small makers you can feel proud to support, but because the packaging is elevated and eco-friendly. Clients have seen it all, they are looking for something unique that will truly make them feel appreciated.
Do you ship gifts internationally?+-
Yes indeed!
Can I leverage your studio pick up for larger gifts/volume gifting or corporate gift baskets?+-
Yes, indeed! If you are local to the Twin Cities continue on ;) Orders of 12 or fewer gifts will be available for studio pick up Monday-Thursday from 9:30 AM-4:30 PM. Allow two business days for pick up. For example, if you place the order on Monday, your gift will be ready by 9:30 AM on Wednesday (but possibly sooner!). You will receive an email once it is ready. Orders with more than 12 units are subject to a one-week minimum turnaround. A team member will contact you via email or phone should your business gift baskets need additional time for processing.
Does the title of the gift box or gift basket go anywhere on or in the box?+-
If you are shopping for business gifts from our online shop, the gift box name is included on the packing slip.
Do you include receipts in the packaging?+-
No way! We don't want to spoil the gift of course. As the gift giver, you will receive an email confirmation for orders placed online that can serve as a receipt. If you need something additional, please email us at hello@minnyandpaul.com. For business and custom gifts, you will have a copy of the invoice.
Can I send gift baskets for clients to multiple addresses?+-
Absolutely! If you are using our online shop, our "Multi Ship" tool at checkout makes it easy to send multiple gifts to various addresses. If you are ordering more than 25 units with our Online Shop with Branded Touch option, we will email you a .csv file to use as a template for your addresses. We will also provide you with the address template for Fully Custom orders. If you have any questions, you can always email us at hello@minnyandpaul.com.
What if our recipient has an allergy or another concern?+-
We are happy to accommodate any allergy concerns for your gift recipients. Simply let your gift design expert know during the consult phase.
What happens to a delivery when the recipient isn't there to receive it?+-
If the recipient is not available to receive their delivery, the gift will be left at the delivery location. Minny & Paul cannot be held liable for theft or damage of the gift, if the intended recipient is unavailable to receive their delivery.
