Gifts of Gratitude.

Don't Show Up Empty-Handed. The Art of the Thoughtful Host Gift.

The holidays are here, and your calendar is filling up with invitations from Friendsgiving feasts to cozy holiday gatherings. You've picked out your outfit and prepped your dish, but there's one small detail that makes a big impression: a gift of gratitude with a host gift.

In the rush of the season, it’s tempting to grab the first generic bottle of wine you see. But this year, let's make a more meaningful choice. When you bring a gift that supports a small, local business, you're giving two presents in one: a token of appreciation for your host, and a boost to your community.

At The Hug Box, we believe the best host gifts are a curated mix of comfort and delight. Forget the stress of searching multiple stores! We've hand-selected incredible items like artisan popcorn, gourmet chocolate, relaxing candles, soothing tea, delicious baked good mixes, and luxurious bath and body products – all ready to show your heartfelt thanks.

Whether you choose one of our ready-to-ship gift boxes or decide to build your own gift basket for a truly personal touch, we make it easy to be the most thoughtful guest at every party.

3 WAYS TO GIVE YOUR HUG BOX GIFT:
Ship it to yourself for hand delivery - we will include a blank notecard outside of gift box
Send it to their house before or after for a special surprise - be sure to send us message for notecard
Choose local delivery - if you or your host are in the Newnan, Georgia area. Place your order before 11am for same day delivery - be sure to send us the message for notecard  

COMFORT & JOY HUG BOX GIFT - This Hug Box holiday curation makes the perfect warm and sweet client gift, employee appreciation gift, and holiday gift for family and friends.

Our 'Comfort & Joy Hugs" gift box features holiday themed local artisan small batch goodies.

THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER HIGHLIGHTS:
Shop early and get ahead of the December rush. Give yourself more time to relax around the holidays. The Hug Box has easy-to-order, cozy and comforting gifts and for the hard-to-shop-for-person.

LOCAL ARTISAN BASEMENT BAZAAR. If you love shopping local and artists, be sure to mark your calendars for the upcoming Basement Bazaar on Friday, November 7 from 5-9pm and Saturday, November 8 10am-2pm in the basement of the Boyd Gallery in historic downtown Newnan, Georgia. A great evening to grab a friend, have some fun, snacks and beverages and grab some meaningful give-back gifts or something for yourself!

NOTE: If you place an order for a Hug Box prior to the event, you can pick up during the time of the event either day. Choose local delivery when you place your order and send a note when you will be picking up your Hug Box(es). You will be reimbursed for the delivery fee.

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY. Why Shopping Small Business Saturday Matters. It's that time of year when the big box stores can overwhelm shoppers and they are able to give bigger discounts, while small mom & pop shops can't so much - but they give back to the community even more - and think of a world without small shops. Supporting small is a way to say thanks to your neighbor and friends. Saturday, November 29 - 10am - 5pm.

HOLIDAY SIP & SEE.  Friday, November 21, Mainstreet Newnan, Georgia - 5-9pm. FREE EVENT.

NUTCRACKER. Saturday, November 29 & Sunday November 30, Southern Arc Dance, Newnan, Georgia. GET YOUR TICKETS.

The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Hug Box has been an advocate for healthy product gifting all along. It is one of the Hug Box's core values. One of the reasons the Hug Box was created was because a dear friend got breast cancer. I wanted to send her a nurturing gift. I couldn't find anything online that I thought was uplifting and healthy.. all natural. I decided to create my own gift basket and source locally with all natural products.
