Giving a custom gift box of Italian spreads: how it works and ideas to steal

Why choose a custom gift box of Italian spreads?

A custom gift box of Italian spreads is far more than a simple gourmet present. It lets you give a tailor-made experience, matched to the person's tastes, for a birthday, a thank you, a company event or the end-of-year holidays. Each box becomes unique thanks to the choice of flavours - pistachio, Piedmont hazelnut, almond, cocoa hazelnut or bergamot - and the option to personalize the packaging, the card, or even to add a message.

By going for a build-your-own gift box, you create a present that means something, far from impersonal standards. It is also a chance to put Italian artisan tradition forward and to showcase recipes made without palm oil, from selected nuts.

For professionals looking for an original corporate gift, personalization makes it possible to convey a refined and thoughtful image, with a box that can carry the company logo or a dedicated message. For large volumes, it is best to get in touch through the professionals area.

How to build a custom gift box: choices, budget and tips

Choosing flavours and formats

The choice of flavours is the heart of a custom box. The essentials are:

  1. Pistachio spread - for its intense taste and unique colour
  2. Piedmont hazelnut spread - tradition and smoothness
  3. Cocoa hazelnut spread - the perfect match for chocolate lovers
  4. Almond spread - a delicate, lighter alternative
  5. Bergamot spread - award-winning originality, Épicures d'Or 2024

Each spread can be enjoyed on its own, on bread, on crêpes, or to finish a dessert. You can pick a set of five spreads to mix things up, or build a more focused box around what the recipient actually likes.

Personalization and presentation

Personalization comes through in the choice of packaging - a plain box, a terracotta gift bag, adding a ribbon, a card or a handwritten message. For an even stronger effect, you can go for a terracotta gift bag and slip a personalized card inside.

For corporate gifts or volume orders, personalization can go as far as adding the company logo or a specific message on the card. The minimum order for advanced personalization is 24 boxes.

Budget and occasions

The budget for a custom box depends on the number of spreads you choose, the type of packaging and the personalization options. You can put together a gourmet box from 20 €, with premium options for bigger occasions. The main occasions for giving a custom box:

  • Birthday gift
  • Thank you or congratulations
  • Corporate gift or professional event
  • End-of-year holidays
  • Wedding, christening, communion

Ideas for a box that works

Gourmet combination ideas

  • Discovery duo: pistachio and Piedmont hazelnut
  • Festive trio: almond, cocoa hazelnut and bergamot
  • Full box: five flavours for a complete tasting

Think about pairing the box with a gift card to leave the choice up to the recipient, or with a sun box that brings olive oil and spread together for a complete Italian experience.

The practical part: lead time and logistics
