The Full Story

Hi, I’m Amanda — the human behind the thread.

Gift Outside The Box started as a creative outlet, a way to bring personality back into the world of gifts and branding. What began with a few embroidery projects (and a questionable amount of trial and error) has turned into a growing shop for custom apparel, personalized gifts, and small business branding that actually feels personal.

The idea is simple:

You don’t need cookie-cutter designs or mass-produced merch to make a statement. Whether it’s a hoodie with your inside joke on it, a mug that matches your attitude, or branded gear that helps your business look sharp — I’m here to make something that feels like you.

Why a soft spot for “small”?

Because small isn’t just size — it’s soul. Every stitch, press, and print gets the kind of attention big box stores couldn’t dream of. When you shop small, you’re shopping one of a kind, not one of a million.

A little humor, a lot of heart.

You’ll find designs that make you smile, laugh, or say “yep, that’s me.” I believe in gifts that people actually want to keep — and business branding that doesn’t blend in.

So whether you’re treating yourself, surprising someone else, or growing your brand, Gift Outside The Box is here to help you do it with personality (and probably a little sarcasm).
