6 Gift Basket Seller Success Stories [2023]
A gift basket is typically a bundled gift filled with presents and delivered to the recipient at home or the workplace.
The gifting ritual is an old practice, and regardless of the occasion, people love giving each other gifts (and receiving them). According to data, the global gift market’s worth is estimated at $62 billion, with 62% of Americans preferring to give personalized gift markets over expensive items.
If you love unique gifting, starting a gift basket business could be a gratifying and fun business idea. Many gift basket shops choose to operate entirely online since an online business allows them to work from anywhere, while customers can also purchase at their convenience.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a gift basket seller:
1. Vowed Box Co. ($4.8K/year)
Lindsay Scholz (from Saint Louis, Missouri, USA) started Vowed Box Co. about 5 years ago.
I’m Lindsay Scholz, and I’m the founder of Vowed Box Co. – a line of curated, quirky gift boxes with non-traditional brides in mind.
Since the brand is still in its infancy and we’re still working through wholesale costs, my monthly income is roughly $600. For being a side business, I look at any profit as a win, but of course, the goal is to see this grow in 2019!
