How to build the perfect stationery gift box

2 minute read

Whether you’re treating a stationery-loving friend (or yourself, I fully support self-gifting), nothing beats a thoughtfully curated gift box filled with joyful, useful, and very cute things. But if you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

Here’s your step-by-step guide to building the perfect stationery gift box, complete with my new gift wrap and card upgrade, so it arrives looking every bit as lovely as what’s inside.

Step 1: Pick a Theme (or a Vibe)

Is this gift all about motivation? Self-care? Pure stationery indulgence? Starting with a theme helps you build a box that feels cohesive and personal.

Here are a few ideas to get you going:

  • Productivity + Planning - Weekly planners, habit trackers, and motivational stickers.

  • Cheer Up Kit - A fun keyring, a colourful notepad, and a little treat.

  • The Busy Brain Box - ADHD-friendly tools like the reward chart, wipe-clean pads, and calm, encouraging stickers.

Step 2: Mix and Match Your Favourites

Think variety: a mix of practical and playful makes your gift box feel full and thoughtful. Some winning combos:

A keyring with personality and…
A notepad or planner pad they’ll actually use and…

A sheet of fun stickers to brighten their day!

You can also add:

  • A dot-grid notebook for journalling or sketching

  • A reward chart pad for fun goal-setting

  • Habit tracker pad to help build new routines

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches

Here’s where the magic happens.

Now, when you check out, you can upgrade your gift with:

  • My brand new wrapping paper in one of six joyful patterns

  • A handwritten card with your message

  • Everything wrapped and ready to give, no tape, no stress

It’s the kind of small detail that makes a big difference. And it saves you the hassle of doing it yourself!

Build Your Gift Box in Minutes

Whether it’s a birthday, a little thank you, or just because, the perfect stationery gift box is only a few clicks away.
