Put a Bow — the gift you'd give in person

How it works

Three little steps. One big hug.

For the requester

Describe your loved one.

Their city, what they love, favourite colour, hobbies, current interests, what event we're celebrating — and even what you'd like to gift them.

For the fulfiller

A local hand takes it on.

Someone who actually lives nearby shops for your loved one's gift, wraps it by hand, and sends you two photos to approve — the gift itself, then wrapped and ready — before it goes anywhere.

A celebration

Delivered with a bow on it.

Delivered to your loved one. The address unlocks at the final step.

Start a gift

Tell us about them.

The more you tell us, the less it feels like a hamper and the more it feels like you. Takes two minutes — nothing is charged until you've approved the gift. You see it twice: the gift itself, then wrapped and ready.

About you

Your name Your email Your phone optional Only for time-sensitive moments — approving the photo of your wrapped gift while your wrapper is still in the shop.

Who it's for

Their name Who are we shopping for? Where they live

Which part of the city? an area, not their address Enough for a wrapper to judge whether they can get there — we ask for the full address separately, once you've approved the gift. How can we reach them on the day? optional Used only to arrange the handover — “I have a delivery for you, when are you home?” We never say who it’s from or what it is, so the surprise holds. Leave it blank and we’ll arrange delivery through you instead.

The gift

Occasion Budget for the gift USD Needed by optional

Something specific in mind? optional If you already know what you want, say so and we'll find it locally. Leave it blank and your wrapper will choose. What are they like? Their obsessions, the colour they always wear, what they'd never buy themselves. This is the bit that makes it land. Your note we handwrite this onto card stock

What happens to these details. Your request comes to Michelle at Put a Bow — not to a wrapper directly. We brief your wrapper with only what they need to shop and deliver, and we ask for the delivery address separately, once you’ve approved the gift. Your details are never sold or used for marketing.

No payment now. We'll reply personally to talk it through.

Put a bow on it.

We're opening city by city, and building the first group of wrappers now. Tell us — would you gift, or wrap, or both?
