Celebrating The Volunteer State
Make any special occasion memorable by sending tastefully branded Tennessee-themed gifts. With our years of experience and vast network, we can help you design the perfect gifts your recipients will love. Showcase your state's talent while simultaneously expressing your appreciation. It's a gifting win-win!
One gift supports countless small makers in Tennessee
Client gifts don't just bring a smile. They also help entrepreneurs across Tennessee continue doing what they love. Our curated roster of makers features brands from Memphis to Knoxville, Nashville to Chattanooga, and so many cities in between.
Your gifts can include products that will please everyone! Fill your boxes with items that show off the state’s culinary scene, like sauces to bring home the taste of Nashville hot chicken and Memphis barbecue. Or how about MoonPies, cornbread mix, or something for whiskey lovers? Your gift boxes will include all the best products Tennessee has to offer.
We can also customize your gifts to feature brands owned by women or minorities, for example, or businesses that give back. This ensures your gifts align with your values and support Tennessee artisans.
Our experience
Since 2016, Minny & Paul has been dedicated to the art of gift-giving. Our founder Laura Roos launched Minny & Paul out of her duplex. Since then, we have grown and scaled project by project. We have worked with clients across all industries, including General Mills, Best Buy, Allianz, the NCAA, and AT&T. 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, which allows our team to control the experience from start to finish for the highest level of care.
Tastefully branded Tennessee gifts
Whatever the occasion - celebrating the holiday season, thanking clients or employees, or honoring milestones - curated gifts let you express your gratitude while simultaneously helping you reach your business goals. We offer customizable options like branded stickers, box bands, or ribbons so you can proudly showcase your company alongside Tennessee’s finest offerings.
When you work with Minny & Paul, you're not just selecting a gift, you're curating an experience. Our Tennessee-themed gift baskets are thoughtfully designed to showcase the best of what the state has to offer, all through the lens of small-batch gifting.

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 business 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.
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.
