Here at Carver Gifts we have been doing our research to figure out how to make our gift baskets more earth friendly.
After lots of work, we will soon be launching our new eco-friendly boxes. You will have the option of using a eco-friendly gift box made of 67% post consumer waste, instead of our baskets. Inside the eco-friendly boxes you will find the delicious and high quality products we have always carried. You will also find some organic products as well that we are starting to carry. All the cellophane that we use to wrap our gift baskets is biodegradable. Our goal is to carry as much organic and eco-friendly products as we possibly can.

Over the holidays, Carver Gifts sponsored a local singing trio called “INSIEME ” for their Christmas Concert. It was the perfect hoilday outing and we looked forward to hearing their voices! To give back Insieme had a raffle where all the proceeds went to the Juvenile Diabetes foundation and ALS…this is where we come in. Carver Gifts created three beautiful baskets to be given away. Two of the baskets directly from Carver Gifts and one wrapped by Carver Gifts and the prize donated by “Picasso for Hair” Salon. I would like to mention how the hair basket was won by a gentleman with a shaved hair style…let’s hope he grew it out a bit to at least try the products. The raffle raised over $750.00 for both foundations, Thanks Everyone! By the way, for anyone holding a raffle, people love buying an arms length in tickets. The moral of this story is Carver Gifts loves to be a part of community events and we’re always looking for creative ways to give back. If you or your organization are holding an event and would like prizes, please feel free to contact us. We can review the request and see if it would a good fit for Carver Gifts!
