We’ve all been there—wandering the aisles or scrolling online for hours, trying to find the perfect gift that feels personal, meaningful, and memorable.
At Nestled Gift Co., we believe gift giving doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, with the right formula, you can master gift giving every single time.
That’s where our 5 L’s of Gift Giving come in. It’s the framework we use for every gift we curate, whether we’re creating one beautifully wrapped box for a client’s closing gift or designing 200 custom packages for a corporate event.
When you follow these 5 L’s, you’ll never give a generic or forgettable gift again.
1. Local 🏘️. Why it matters: Local gifts tell a story. They connect the recipient to a place, whether it’s where you’re from, where they’re from, or where they’re headed. Plus, supporting local makers keeps small businesses thriving.
How Nestled does it: We source many of our products from talented Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts artisans, think small-batch gourmet treats, hand-poured candles, and locally crafted keepsakes. This not only supports our community but also gives our gifts a sense of place and authenticity.
2. Living 🪴 Why it matters: There’s something refreshing and soul-soothing about receiving something that’s alive or inspired by nature. Plants and nature-inspired gifts symbolize growth, renewal, and care.
How Nestled does it: From lush succulents tucked into a basket to bird feeders for the nature lover, we incorporate living elements whenever they fit the recipient’s lifestyle. Even if we can’t include a live plant (shipping logistics!), we add nature-inspired touches like botanical teas, herbal soaps, or earthy decor.
3. Luxury 🥂
Why it matters: Luxury doesn’t have to mean expensive, it means special. It’s that indulgent little extra the recipient might never buy for themselves but will truly appreciate.
How Nestled does it: Whether it’s a handcrafted chocolate bar, a plush throw, or an artisanal candle, we look for items that spark a little “wow” moment. These are the things that elevate a gift from “nice” to “memorable.”
4. Lifestyle ✈️ Why it matters: A truly thoughtful gift reflects the recipient’s personality, passions, and day-to-day life.
How Nestled does it: Before we curate, we ask: Do they have pets? Kids? Do they love travel, wine, golf, or cooking? We tailor every basket or box to reflect the recipient’s world, whether it’s a dog treat jar for a pet-loving client or a travel-friendly journal for a globe-trotter.
5. Love ❤️ Why it matters: At its heart, gift giving is about connection. The best gifts carry a message: I thought of you. I care about you.
How Nestled does it: We infuse every box with a sense of love, whether it’s your love for the recipient, or simply our love for what we do. We also offer personal touches like custom notes, monogramming, and keepsakes that become part of the recipient’s cherished memories.
Why the 5 L’s Set Nestled Gift Co. Apart

- Reflect the recipient’s story
- Support our local economy
- Surprise and delight with small luxuries
- Honor their lifestyle and passions
