Business Description:Custom gift packaging and gifting. Simple Elegance is a gift store with main focus on packaging and presentation. We make gifting a fun experience. We help create custom packaging for 1 or 1000, as the need may be. Gifts need not necessarily be purchased from us.
Fun and thought provoking, thoughtful and apt Corporate gifts that make great conversational pieces.
My store provides numerous options for packing and presenting of any gift of any size for any occassion, in any number, in a very elegent and exclusive way, using various mediums like paper boxes, paper bags, tins, paper, ribbons, fabric, stickers, die-cuts, etc.
Our best complaint from our customer is our best compliment: "Gifts packed at simple elegance are too beautiful to be opened and look much better than the gift inside".
On a typical day a customer walks in with some items to be packed for a special event. I come up with a look and feel and concept based on the customers budget and once the customer gives his or her approval to the mock up, we finish the packaging and deliver the same to the customer. We also provide courier service of packaged gifts to national and worldwide destinations, saving our customers from a lot of hassle.
