To Build your own gift box, please head to the top menu of our website and click on “Build Your Own Gift".
Select your preferred budget (€40, €60, €80, €100) and select the quantity of boxes you want to send. There is no MOQ required. You can send as many boxes as you like to the same location. If you require sending the same box to multiple different locations, please proceed with building the box and request a quote at the end of the process, or contact us at business@thepaddybox.com
Start filling the box with your preferred items. You can add multiples of one item if you wish so. As you place items in the box, a progress bar will let you know how much more available space/budget there is in your box. You can add and remove items as you please, to get to your preferred item combination. Once you reach your max budget or your box starts to become full, some items will be greyed out, meaning there is not enough space/budget left in your box to add that particular item.
Once you are happy with the items in your box, proceed to select a greeting card, add a personal message and select a dispatch date. These two last steps are optional, so you can also skip them if you wish to.
