About us

Hello, and welcome to Given.

Given was founded in the beautiful Winterless North, Whangārei, with a simple idea - to make gifting feel thoughtful, effortless, and truly special.

Today, Given is proudly run by me, Jo. What started as a shared vision has grown into a business I continue to nurture with the same passion for beautifully presented, meaningful gifts.

At Given, every product is carefully selected with intention. I do the searching for you, handpicking quality pieces and bringing them together in one place, so you can create gifts that feel considered and unique. Each gift is thoughtfully curated and presented in boutique, luxurious keepsake packaging designed to be just as special as what’s inside.

I also work closely with local businesses to create bespoke gift boxes tailored to their brand. Whether you're a real estate agent welcoming clients into a new home, a builder celebrating a handover, or a business wanting to leave a lasting impression - I can customise gift boxes to include your branding, messaging, and specific product selections.

Supporting New Zealand brands remains at the heart of what I do. I source products that are made right here in Aotearoa. When that’s not possible, I choose to work with trusted New Zealand businesses that share the same commitment to quality.

The collection is always evolving, so there’s often something new and exciting to discover.

Because giving inspires giving…

Warmly,
Jo x
