A Gift That Grows: The Story Behind Sustaina Grow’s Corporate Gift Boxes 🌱

It started with a conversation.

One of our early customers told us how tired they were of receiving the same corporate gifts year after year. Another branded water bottle, another box of shortbread, another “thank you” that didn’t really say much at all. “What I really want,” they laughed, “is something I’ll actually use - and that doesn’t just end up in the bin.”

That comment stayed with us. At Sustaina Grow, we’ve always believed that small changes can make a big difference - in the garden, in the workplace, and for the planet. So we asked ourselves: what if a corporate gift could be more than a token gesture? What if it could tell a story, spark joy, and grow into something lasting?

From Idea to Box

That’s how our corporate gift boxes were born.

Each box was simple - just add water and grow a plant in a NZ wool pot. The magic was in the simplicity. 

More Than Just a Present

The first time a business sent our boxes to their clients, we heard back almost immediately. “They’ve never stopped talking about it,” the manager told us. “Weeks later, people were sending us photos of the plants they’d grown.”

That’s when we knew we were onto something. These weren’t just gifts; they were conversations, memories, and little reminders that someone cared.

A Greener Way to Say Thank You

Every box reflects what we stand for: sustainability, creativity, and connection. The packaging is recyclable, the products are natural, and the story is one of renewal and growth. For the companies who choose them, it’s a way to align their brand with values that matter - and for the people who receive them, it’s a gift that feels genuinely thoughtful.

Because a corporate gift doesn’t have to be something that gathers dust. It can be something that grows, nourishes, and inspires.

And that’s a story worth sharing.
