Our Mission

Gift giving with intention adds meaning and joy to both the giver and the recipient. It’s not just about what’s in the box. Thoughtful products that represent a mood, goal or a wish can ignite a remarkable feeling that can last beyond the moment they open their gift. We value perfectly curated collections as much as we do the memorable moments that are invoked. Our ready to ship gift box collections are meant to replace stress with joy when gifting to another, or oneself.

Our mission is to provide perfectly curated gift boxes that bloom remarkable moments for any occasion

Our Story

 

Welcome to The Rare Blooms! We are an artisan gifting business specializing in gift box collections for every occasion. We offer Gift Box single purchases from any of our collections. We also offer Club Blooms, a budget friendly seasonal subscription highlighting our current best sellers. Custom gift box and bulk order requests are available to order.

Founder Dana Garrett initially got the idea when she was often asked what to buy her daughter for her birthday. Her 9 year old, Alana Grace, is nonverbal and was diagnosed with Coffin Siris Syndrome and Autism at 4 years old. She began researching sensory disorder gifts and struggled to find what she envisioned would be the perfect gift for her daughter. In the meantime, she was seeking natural ways to stay calm and centered for her family. She realized surrounding herself with a supportive community blended with a luxe self care routine was her favorite recipe for balancing parenthood & life. Everyone deserves quality self care items that can transform everyday challenges into something encouraging. From an uplifting essential oil roller to a piece of inspirational jewelry, she wanted to offer collections to invoke a feeling of beauty and balance. For kids, she wanted to offer products that would spark creativity and exploration, for all abilities. 

In 2021, Dana began investing in US wholesale brands that offer high quality, intentional products for both women and children. Men's Collection coming soon!

Launched in the Fall of 2022, The Rare Blooms offers thoughtfully curated gifts online, an option to join the seasonal subscription mystery box: Club Blooms and will host Pop Up Shops locally.
