CUSTOM GIFT DESIGN VS. BUILD YOUR OWN GIFT BOX
Custom gift design and building your own gift box online are two separate services.
BUILD YOUR OWN GIFT BOX
You can conveniently build your own gift box using products available to you on the website. Select items from the shop to add your box and we will ship it directly to you or the recipient, based on the special instructions you leave for us.
CUSTOM GIFT DESIGN
Sparrow & Oak Custom Gift Design allows you to create a gift customized to your specifications by working directly with us. This is a great option for companies and corporate events, weddings and special occasions to name a few. Each custom project is designed to your specific gifting needs. Through communication and consultation, we will develop a sense of your vision in order to prepare something truly unique and memorable for the recipients. We will discuss appropriate timelines for project completion which includes design, product sourcing, assembly, and shipping to your destination.
Custom gift orders require a minimum order of 10 or more gifts to be considered custom and typically require sourcing unique products to suit your needs, that may not be available on sparrowandoak.com.
Larger custom projects typically require approximately 5-7 weeks from start to finish. We can accommodate rush orders in some instances depending on the products and materials sourced for your gift.
Please fill out our Custom Gift Design Form or email us at info@sparrowandoak.com to tell us more about your custom gifting needs and to get started on your project.
DO ALL GIFTS ARRIVE EXACTLY AS SHOWN ON THE WEBSITE?
If items shown in the pre-curated gifts on our website are no longer available, we will reach out to you with alternative options. If a substitution is required we will always select the most appropriate items for your special gift of equal or greater value.
When designing your own gift box, we will send you a photo of the finished product before sending it out. Our goal is always to exceed your expectations and to offer you beautiful quality gifts and excellent customer service.
CAN I ADD A PERSONAL NOTE/CARD TO MY GIFT?
Absolutely! Every gift comes with a handwritten, personal note to your recipient on one of our Sparrow & Oak blank cards. You may also choose to purchase a greeting card from our shop.
Add your personal message to the add personal message option or in the special instructions. Please indicate if you have purchased a greeting card to be used instead of our blank cards.
Be sure to verify the details of your message including the correct spelling of the recipient’s name. We will write the message exactly as shown.
If you forgot to add your personal note before ordering, please send us an email to info@sparrowandoak.com with your order number and note request and we'll add it!
