Our mission.

At boxthecity, we believe gifting should mean something. That a single box can spark joy and drive impact. That buying better creates a ripple effect — through communities, causes, and creators who deserve the spotlight.

From 2022 through 2024, over 40% of our products were made by nonprofits and social enterprises. In 2025, we're taking it further — with every gift purchased, a portion of profits supports local causes and the communities that make our work possible.

At the end of the day, our mission is simple: make gifting feel good — for the giver, the recipient, and the world.

Join us. Let’s change the game, one gift at a time.

This is what we stand for.

  • Giving Back.

    A portion of each of your purchases supports grassroots organizations and social impact makers. Annually, 40% of our products are gifts that give back.

  • Purposeful Sourcing.

    We partner with unique small businesses including women-owned, minority-owned, LGBTQ+, veteran-owned, and those with a give-back component.

  • Sustainability.

    We work closely with our vendors to prioritize eco-conscious materials and fair labor practices. Good for the planet. Better for people.

  • Play. And Playlists.

    We work hard and vibe harder. From early-a.m. brainstorms to late-night packing parties, we bring the noise - literally. Fun isn't a bonus here - it's the engine. (And yeah, the playlist slaps.)
