1. Make a photo album of your best and most memorable photos
   Guys – no one prints photos and makes albums anymore, which makes them super special. Add in handwritten notes about your favorite parts about those moments and photos to make this gift extra personal and special. Go grab a cute printed photos as CVS and done Google Photo books, both are so simple and easy and fun to make!

2. Get them a Cameo of their fave celebrity
   This is such a great birthday gift for the friend who doesn’t want more “stuff.” It is SO simple and so, so much fun. I did this for my sister’s engagement, and she freaked out! Cameo is a service where you can have a celebrity shout out to your friend, for a fee of course. Some celebs cost more than other but it is well worth it!
   
   
3. Make a gift bag full of themed items based on a hobby, interest, or where they are in their life, along with a sweet note.
   I have been known among my friends for making “kits” for gifts: I would make “30^th Birthday Survival” kits, “New Job” kits, “Med School Survival” kits, and even “Breakup Survival” kits – these were the OG Happy Boxes and are what inspired me to start the company! They are super simple to make, and if your friend has an obscure passion or hobby, even better! Find 3-5 things that will help them do their fave hobby or their new life moment better, throw them in a cute gift bag with some tissue paper and a thoughtful note and POOF: a unique, super personal gift that they will LOVE!
   
   
4. No time for #3? Not creative? Your BFF live far away? Welp, ladies, THAT’S why we created Happy Box: So you can build a custom care package full of unique items and ship it right to her door.
   It’s super simple: pick a box design (my favorite is our pastel gradient called “sunset”), fill her up with various gifts (I suggest adding the “Brunch” candle and some Raaka chocolate – these are best sellers!), pick a card, type in your note, and our team hand-packs and ships the box out to your friend’s doorstep or office. Start building a custom care package now, or take a look at our curated Happy Birthday Box full of some best- selling birthday gifts and goodies.

In the age of Pinterest, creating custom bridesmaid gifts and bridesmaid proposals  can be intimidating! You want to surprise and delight your bridal party with something custom, unique, personal, and that looks like it was DIY'ed by a Joanna Gaines-Martha Stewart Hybrid, #amiright?!

It's not impossible - and we're here to show some of our FAVE and best-selling gift items customers have put in their Bridesmaid Proposal and Bridal Party gifts using our box builder. 

1. Spa Items from Old Whaling Co.
We love the delicious scents of these quality bath and spa products from this female-owned company, and we know your girls' will too. Check out our box builder for various products and scents we carry, but pro-tip: French Lavender is to die for.

2. Unique & Ethically-Sourced Chocolate Bars
Our friends at Raaka chocolate are doing it right: they make their chocolate from scratch; with traceable, high quality, single origin cacao that is transparently sourced. And it. is. delicious.

3. Some GIRL POWER!
We are all about some women empowerment and love these fun best-sellers - an iron-on patch that says "girl gang" and a two-piece heart-shaped best friends necklace that says "best bitches." Love love love.
  

4.  Sheet Face Masks
These are some of our best-selling gift items, everyone loves a good face mask! Not to mention we keep introducing more fun seasonal favorites (hello, pumpkin!). Check out all of our scents on our box builder.

4.  Our Best-Selling "Brunch" Candle
This candle, made by the female-owned Wax Cabin Co. smells AH-MA-ZING, we wish this was a scratch-and-sniff. It has notes of rose, chardonnay, blood orange, and grapefruit.
