FOXY BOXY Staff Share Which Are Their Favourite Gift Boxes

Consumer NZ or a Google review search might be where you head for reviews when you want to buy a washing machine, but when it comes to great gift ideas there are only two sources you should trust: someone super close to the person you are buying the gift for; and the staff where you buy your gift.

Checking with a bestie or mum is a great place to start for gift recommendations. But when it comes to the details like the quality, taste or experience of a gift, you need the inside story from the staff.

At Foxy Boxy we spend a huge amount of time sourcing the best, most delicious, quality New Zealand products and curating the best gift box for any occasion, and our staff really know their stuff. So we thought we’d check in to see which gift boxes were their favourites.

Charlie’s Pick:
New Zealand Wine & Gourmet Nibbles Hamper

“Quality New Zealand wine always makes a fantastic gift, so my pick would be one of the wine gift boxes. The choice of exactly which wine to choose will depend on the giftee’s preference. Nothing says it’s a celebration quite like the POP of a bottle of bubbles, so for this reason, The FOXY Hamper is always a popular choice. Of all the wine gifts, the Central Otago Pinot & Nibbles or the Marlborough Sauv & Nibbles would have to be my favourites.

A great wine should always be served with delicious nibbles, which is why we’ve hand-selected the perfect mix of New Zealand made snacks and nibbles to accompany the wine. From the freshest local hazelnuts to Akaroa grown olives, to gourmet crackers and craft chocolate, to delicious fruit pastes and relishes; they are going to love FOXY BOXY wine gift boxes.

Wine hampers work well for both men and women, and also a great gift for couple to share as well.”

Georgie’s Pick:
Pampering Treats With Award-Winning Chocolate

“My pick would be the Whole Lot Of Love gift box. It’s a perfect gift for her, it smells divine, and works well for so many gifting occasions, PLUS I designed this hamper. I think it makes a lovely “thank you”, or a “happy birthday”, or a “thinking of you”, or “get well soon” present. I love all the products in this gift box and the fact that all these products are all produced locally makes them extra special. The milk hazelnut chocolate from Hogarth Chocolate Makers is incredible, it’s literally THE BEST CHOCOLATE EVER. The Living Light soy candle and luxury hand cream are exceptional quality that every woman will appreciate. The bath bomb from Botanical has the coolest eco-friendly packaging and these bath bombs are absolutely lovely. This gift box is an invitation to relax, light a candle, pour a bath and nibble chocolate.”

Holly’s Pick:
New Zealand Gin Gift Boxes

“Gin for the win! I think our gin gift boxes are some of the BEST. It is actually so, so hard to choose the best Foxy Boxy gift box, they are all so good. With so many birthdays and then Christmas coming up, the gift box I know I will be sending out quite a few of myself is Let The Evening Be Gin. The Dancing Sands craft gins are produced locally and have such fantastic flavours (they are all delicious), ideal for whipping up a special drink on a warm evening. Perfectly paired with locally grown and roasted hazelnuts and a stylish Japanese-style jigger ensuring the ratio of gin to tonic is on point. Add a sunset, and you have given someone a little taste of heaven.”

Melissa’s Pick:
Large Gourmet Hampers To Share

“We have designed so many different gift boxes, so it’s extra hard to pick just one favourite. I think our large foodie gift boxes would have to be my choice. First of all, the hampers are packed to the brim with tasty treats … and yes, we have taste tested EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT in those gift boxes and given it a collective “oh yum”. The gift boxes are really generous with plenty of gourmet snacks to discover, which makes them fun and impressive to open. Our Foodie Hamper is ideal if you’re struggling to find the perfect gift or don’t know the people too well. It works well for just about any gifting occasion and there’s enough for a whole family or an office gift. The Deluxe Family Hamper is another absolute winner, you know the kids are going to love all those sweet treats. The Entertainer gift box is a popular choice, just add your favourite cheeses and you can create an amazing tasting platter. Finally, all products in these foodie hampers are 100% New Zealand made which is great for our economy and the environment. ”

Regardless of which Foxy Boxy gift box you choose to gift, you know you are getting the very best local, high end products. If you are looking for a specific occasion or for someone with a particular passion, we have everyone from fishing fanatics to chocoholics covered in the Category section of our website.

Happy Gifting!
