Why We Hand-Tie Every Ribbon Bow (and Never Use Those Plastic Pull Bows)
I have always believed that a gifts’ presentation should feel as thoughtful as what’s inside. That’s why you’ll never find the standard plastic “pull bows” on any of our baskets or boxes.
What’s a pull bow you may ask?
If you’ve ever seen a flat piece of shiny ribbon transform into a uniform loopy pre-made bow by simply pulling a string, that’s a pull bow. While convenient (for sure), they often look super generic, are usually out of proportion on large baskets, and don’t convey the sense of care that your beautiful gift deserves.
Why we hand-tie every bow:
I’ve chosen instead to hand-tie each and every ribbon ourselves, creating a bespoke finish that’s polished and elegant. This allows us to:
-
Choose the right width and texture of ribbon for each gift so it feels balanced and cohesive
-
Match or complement the colours of the items inside the basket or the company’s branding colours
-
Adjust the bow’s size and shape to fit the container & gift design perfectly
-
Present a more refined, upscale look that shows genuine and individualize care
When a recipient receives one of our gifts, the first impression is everything. We want the arrival and then unboxing experience to feel special—never mass-produced or generic – Ack, can you imagine. Our hand-tied bows are just one of the many details we obsess over so your gift always makes a lasting impression.
