Sugar Plum Gift Boxes, which trades as Best of Boxes, sells gift boxes filled with food and drink from artisan producers across the Bay of Plenty, from Katikati to Opotiki. Its distinctive feature is that every box is built around local products, and the business says it widens its search to New Zealand only where a product cannot be found locally. Boxes are wrapped in eco-friendly, recyclable or compostable materials made in New Zealand.
The range includes ready-made boxes and a build-your-own option. Boxes are sold for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, new mums and babies, fathers and mothers, thank-yous, get-well wishes and "I love you". Contents include chocolate, wine, candles and gluten-free treats. Corporate and custom gift options are also offered. The website says it ships across New Zealand, with free shipping on curated and build-your-own boxes over $89 as at 2026.
Alcohol is sold, so visitors to the site must confirm they are 18 or over. The business is run by a mother and daughter, Michelle and Charlotte, who say they want to spread joy through gift-giving and support local producers.
