Ohio gift baskets

Since 2016, Minny & Paul has specialized in local. Since then, we have sourced high-quality products from small businesses and understand the complexities (and huge benefits) of supporting small makers through high-volume gifting.

Celebrating Ohio

We specialize in location-based gifting that highlights the businesses in your backyard. Sending a gift with no story behind it can get lost in the noise. Intentionally gifting artisanal products sourced from small businesses within your community allows your corporate gifts to truly resonate with your recipients. Plus, your brand will be able to show off its own values and alignment with the local community. A gifting win-win!

One gift, endless makers' dreams supported

Your single gift not only brightens your client's or employee's day, but also the local artisan’s whose dream you’re supporting. We can source a wide variety of products from makers based in Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Dayton, and more. Some of our favorite local partners include Maverick Chocolate Co., Roosevelt Coffee Roasters, Prospect Jam, Friendly Candle, and Lucca Workshop.

Just as we specialize in location-based gift, we can also design boxes that feature, for example, Asian- or women-owned brands, or businesses that give back. Our vendor roster of more than 200 small businesses (and growing) allows us to craft your perfect gift.

Our experience

Since 2016, we have been living and breathing gift giving. Our founder Laura Roos launched Minny & Paul out of her duplex. Since then, we have continued to grow and scale project by project. We have worked with clients across all industries including MI Homes, General Mills, Best Buy, Allianz, the NCAA, AT&T and many more. What started in a single room is now operating out of a 7,500 square foot production facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. We source, pack, and ship everything in-house. This allows our team to control the experience from start to finish for the highest level of care.

Tastefully branded Ohio gift baskets for any occasion

Working with Minny & Paul means you have access to all the best local products you will be proud to put your name on. We also recommend showing off your brand with the packaging- like a branded sticker seal, box band, or ribbon.

What our Clients are saying

We appreciate your curation and care with these gifts. The feedback has been wonderful! Looking forward to more work with you. Thanks for everything.

We have received an almost ridiculous amount of praise for the thoughtfulness and quality of the gifts from our clients and partners. Everything from the tree planting to female owned businesses to how great the snacks and treats are have been commented on. I look forward to working with Minny & Paul again.

I recently received a box from someone after my breast cancer diagnosis. It was such a sweet surprise, and a beautiful gift. I immediately knew this was what I needed to send to a couple of our employees who have some exciting things happening in their lives. Thanks again!

Any business gift order of 25+ units receives a custom card complimentary that includes your company's logo and a custom phrase of your choice. For orders under 25 units, our online shop includes a complimentary handwritten card with a message of 150 characters.

What are your gift minimums?+-

For a fully custom corporate gift order, we have a $4,000 overall budget minimum. Not you? Not to worry. You can leverage our "Online Shop with Branded Touch" option for 25 units or more. This option allows you to brand packaging elements. Lastly, our Online Shop has no minimums. The downside? No branding.

What is your gift lead time?+-

Online Shop (Ready-to-Ship Gift Collection): Once you place your order online, please allow 1-3 business days for processing plus transit time. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect your gift to arrive within a week of placing your gift order. Online Shop with Branded Touch: 2-3 weeks from contract signing. Fully Custom: 3-5 weeks from contact signing depending on branded elements included. For details on each of these options, see above to the first FAQ question.

Do you have an option where I can order a bunch of corporate gift boxes/baskets at once and you ship them out when I want?+-

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 - especially during the holiday season - 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, something that doesn't feel generic that will truly make them feel appreciated.

Do you ship gifts internationally?+-

We unfortunately do not ship our ready-to-ship online shop collection or corporate gifts internationally at this time. However, we do have gifting partners abroad that we partner with to create and send gifts to any of your international recipients.

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-Friday 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.

What is your return policy?+-
