Create Your Own Gift Box

Oct 31, 2024Denisse Audrey Tenorio

Gifting doesn’t have to entail grandeur; a gift can be a simple pasalubong for your family after coming home from a trip, or a thoughtful gift box wishing someone well.

From simple housewarming celebrations to reunions with friends after so long, you won’t want to miss a chance to prepare or buy a present, whether big or small. It’s in our tradition to have something to give for any occasion—a fancy wine bottle to congratulate a friend, a box of baked goods for a cute picnic date, or a customized gift box for a special person in your life.   

When it comes to gifting, food is almost always your best option. And what’s better than personalizing it according to what they love? At Joel’s Place, we offer gift boxes in three sizes (small, medium, and large) perfect for housing all their favorites in one! 

For your adventurous food buddy  

For loved ones who do not shy away from trying new flavors, a curated gift box consisting of unique finds at Joel’s Place is your best way to win their hearts over. Fill a box with these fresh and exciting flavors!

  • St Dalfour: Traditionally made French fruit spreads in unique flavors like Blackcurrant and Apricot.

  • El Almendro: Indulgent crispy thins with the perfect marriage of sweet and salty flavors like their Caramel Chocolate with Sea Salt Thins.

  • Karma: Air roasted and lightly sweetened roasted cashew in fun flavors like Toasted Coconut.

  • Bela: Finest Portuguese sardines sustainably wild caught and hand packed. It’s MSC certified, Kosher, and good for your health too.

  • Freshé: All-natural gourmet tuna meal packed in a pocket-sized BPA-free tin with fresh olive oil, hearty vegetables and certified sustainable protein.

For experimental cooks in your life  

Whether your favorite person loves to whip up something extraordinary in the kitchen or simply loves having people around to feed with fancy charcuterie, you can find the perfect gift for them at Joel’s Place.  

Create a special box for them and start with a few of these items: 

  • Tartufi Morra: An ideal extra virgin olive oil dressing flavored with the intense fragrance of white truffle.

  • Maggie Beer: Fruity pastes in flavors like Fig & Gin or Quince perfect for charcuterie boards.

  • Random harvest: Australian made artisan dressings expertly crafted from the finest ingredients without additives and preservatives. Flavors like Lemon Garlic Dill and Kalamata Olive Mustard are must try!

Don’t forget some spices and throw in a bottle of Peppercorn Medley from Simply Organic or some classic paella spices from La Dalia.

For the snacker bestie  

Snacks are best enjoyed with someone you love. Whether you’re cozily hanging out with a long-time friend or planning a movie night with your besties, make them feel appreciated even on the most casual days by giving them a curated box of items they’ll love.  Add in a bottle of coffee, a bar or two of chocolates, and a bunch of healthy snacking options! 

  • Little Green Cyclo: Refreshing plant-based ready-to-drink Vietnamese coffee with condensed coconut milk.

  • TCHO: Quality chocolates with flavor notes depending on its origin. Enjoy fudgy single-origin chocolates like the Dark Duo or their smooth blend of hazelnut butter and oat milk chocolate for the Hazelnut flavor.

  • Valrhona: Captivating chocolate flavors ranging from bitter, fruity, to milky. The Jivara flavor, for example, is the perfect creamy chocolatey goodness with notes of vanilla and malt.

  • Patience Fruit & Co: Slowly dried fruits such as the Organic Whole Wild Blueberries bursting with flavor perfect for breakfast and snacks.

  • Daily Fix: Delightful bag of trail mix with premium nuts and fruits, a guilt-free indulgence perfect for snacking.

  • Simply Gum: Natural alternative to artificial chewing gums using natural, vegan, and gluten-free ingredients.

  • Kuranda Wholefoods: Healthy and delicious on-the-go snacks high in plant-based protein and low in carbohydrates.

  • Aura Bora: Herbal sparkling water with zero sweeteners, zero sodium, zero calories and zero sugar. It’s vegan and made from real herbs, fruits, and flowers.

A curated box of all the things they love makes a gift even more special. If time is not on your side, a Joel’s Place Gift Card is your answered prayer. Give your loved ones the gift of choice and let them choose anything they want with these special gift cards.  

It’s the thought behind gifting that shows how much we truly care and appreciate someone. When you want to show love and care, head over to Joel’s Place to pick up items they’ll love and create a gift box carefully handpicked especially for them.
