Oh so much! Our gifts are about as local as it gets, sourced primarily from a 60-mile radius of our home base in Bellingham, WA. That means they don’t travel far to reach us, saving on packaging and transport emissions. Our items are mostly plant-based and/or organic, wildcrafted and/or sustainably sourced, small-batch and/or handcrafted. Individual product packaging is recyclable, reusable or compostable as much as possible. Our boxes are elegant in their simplicity (we do not double box!) with a focus on recycled and recyclable packaging and zero waste. $1 of every purchase plants trees around the globe to offset our carbon emissions. Oh, and did we mention we give 2% of sales of our Curated Gifts to local social and environmental causes? Rest assured that your gift from us will reflect your values.

Carbon neutrality means keeping your net release of CO2e (CO2 equivalent) into the atmosphere at zero. Basically, whatever CO2e is emitted in your business practices is canceled out by a process known as 'offsetting’. Offsetting is a financial contribution that helps support projects that reduce emissions, like regenerating precious forests or cleaning up our oceans. Madrona Gifts currently uses GoodAPI to help offset our carbon impact by planting trees with each purchase on our website.

That depends. First of all, sales tax is applied only to boxes shipped to a Washington State address, so if you are shipping outside of Washington State, your gift will be tax-free. (All the more reason to share far and wide!) Secondly, majority food-based curated boxes are tax free no matter where they ship. For all other curated and custom boxes, you will see a breakdown of applicable taxes at checkout.

If you’re wanting to gift four or more boxes, please call us to help you pull together a custom order. You may choose from our curated options, or we can help you design the perfect custom gift box. Depending on the numbers needed, we may require 1-2 weeks to secure inventory. Contact us for more information and help getting started.

We love working with local businesses and nonprofits! Corporate gifting offers a simple way to extend gratitude to clients, partners, and employees in a meaningful way. Our business clients are as varied as our products and include designers, manufacturers, schools, and real estate agents. Contact us to learn more.
