If you're a regular around these parts you'll know how much I like to support small local businesses especially as I work with family myself so when I heard from new start up Tili I was more than game to share the love. Founded by two friends Danielle and Sarah who were tired of scouring the high street for meaningful, locally-made gifts for celebrations they decided to launch Tili (Thanks I Love It) an online gifting site where you can buy pre-packaged gift boxes full of harder to find, local brands without a questionable 'filler' gift in sight.
Now as someone who takes real pride in gift buying for my friends I did wonder how this brand would fit in with my love for searching for the perfect present and if it'd have all the markings of one of those beauty boxes but I needn't have worried. Everything from the packaging to the website and even the products themselves have been carefully thought about to ensure the gift you give is something you'd want to receive yourself. Tili kindly sent me The Treat box* which includes a red velvet flavoured lip balm, a beautifully designed notebook by Manchester based Lydia Meiying, some Doisy & Dam chocolate (which tastes absolutely incredible) and a bath bomb from Yorkshire Soap Co. At £24.50 I think this is pretty good value for money although I think this would be perfection with the addition of some snuggly bed socks instead of two beauty items but that could just be the nanna in me! If you've a bigger budget there's also The Glam and my personal favourite The Lush which features the most amazing canvas slogan tote.
I love how Tili have started small with three gift boxes, keeping the buying decision super simple and I cannot wait to see how they grow and discover which brands they'll work with next. With Christmas just around the corner I think a Tili gift box would be the perfect pick for the girl who has everything or for the friend who enjoys something a little more individual than your standard beauty gift set offering. Thanks team Tili, I love it.
What do you make of pre-packaged gift boxes?
