Case Study: SHAWOOD & DiJones Custom Gift Boxes

Client: 
Sekisui House, SHAWOOD & DiJones

Objective:
Our returning client, Sekisui House, wanted a premium settlement gift to express appreciation to clients moving into their new homes. The goal was to mark this milestone with elegance, quality, and a lasting impression.

Inspiration:
Japan has a long tradition of thoughtful gift-giving, where every item is chosen with care and intention. For SHAWOOD & DiJones, we created a refined gift box that blends tradition with modern elegance, each piece reflecting their dedication to quality and natural materials. Every item was carefully selected to showcase Japanese craftsmanship while conveying the warmth and comfort of home. Designed to honor their heritage, the box offers a luxurious and meaningful experience. Thoughtfully arranged with attention to aesthetics and sustainability, this curated selection embodies harmony and refined living. 

What’s included: 

  • Signature Tea Set – Tokoname, Japan. The RYO tea set by Saliu, handcrafted by master artisan Hirotaka Umehara. Made from iron-rich vermilion clay, each piece is carbonised for a deep black finish.

  • Pure linen, hand-loomed Fringe Throw in Khaki.

  • Candle with woody scent which evokes the warmth of timber homes. The vessel is finished with seeded herb paper and can be reused to grow herbs.

  • Australian Alpine Sencha Tea. Green tea from the Victorian Alps, inspired by Japanese artisan farming, with a fresh, pure flavour.

  • A sleek black matte candle snuffer, adding both function and sophistication to the gift.

  • A pine gift box with a custom engraving on the birch lid, designed to be kept long after the gift is received.

  • Mini bouquet, preserved to last

  • A warm welcome message printed on a premium linen card.

At Birch & Bow, we see gifting as an experience. Whether for corporate clients, special occasions, or brand collaborations, we create gift boxes that tell a story.

If you want a bespoke gift that fits your brand, we’d love to make something special for you.
