Thoughty gifts are expertly designed and feature beautifully made, small-batch products. No need to worry about finding the perfect gift: just be Thoughty!

Thoughty puts great care into the presentation of every gift. Each gift is packed by hand, wrapped beautifully, and includes a handwritten note  to make the gift extra meaningful. Website photos are good representations of how your gift will look.  We want your gifts to be perfect, so we may take creative liberties when we wrap your gift to ensure a beautiful presentation. 

All gifts come with a complimentary handwritten note if you choose to include one.  Include your message in the space provided in the cart and we'll take it from there.. If you checkout without including a note and wish to add one, simply email us at hello@thoughtygifts.com and let us know what you want your note to say.

We never include receipts or packing slips in our gifts. Also, we never include the price except in the rare case that a price tag cannot be removed without damaging an item.

Accounts help to distinguish your information, such as your address, from the recipient's information.  This keeps our records clear. Plus, this will make it easier when you come back!
