Crafting Custom Gift Boxes for Shawood: A Touch of Japanese Elegance
March 15, 2025 – Emma Kachurkova

At Birch & Bow, we take pride in curating bespoke gift boxes that reflect the essence of our clients' values and aesthetic. When Shawood, a renowned Japanese building company known for its precision, sustainability, and timeless craftsmanship, approached us for a custom gift box, we aimed to create something that would embody their brand ethos - harmony, quality, and refinement.
The Inspiration Behind the Gift Box
Japan has a deep-rooted tradition of gift-giving, where every item is chosen with thoughtfulness and intention. For Shawood, we designed a sophisticated gift box that blends tradition with modern elegance, ensuring each item resonates with their brand’s dedication to excellence and natural elements.
A Curated Selection of Exquisite Items
Each item in the gift box was meticulously selected to reflect both Japanese craftsmanship and the warmth of home.

Custom Teapot Made in Japan
The centerpiece of the gift box is a beautifully crafted teapot set ( YUI by Saliu), made in Japan in a historical 1300-year-old production center. Symbolizing tranquility and hospitality, this teapot offers a daily ritual of calm and connection. -
Japanese-Style Towel
Known for its lightweight yet ultra-absorbent texture, the traditional Japanese towel is both practical and elegant. It embodies the simplicity and functionality that define Japanese design. -
Candle with a Woody Scent
Inspired by Shawood’s emphasis on natural materials, we included a candle with a rich, woody fragrance. Its aroma evokes the warmth of finely crafted timber homes, making any space feel inviting and serene. -
Black Matte Elegant Candle Snuffer
To complement the candle, we selected a sleek black matte candle snuffer - both a functional tool and a statement piece that adds sophistication to any home.

Jasmine Organic Tea
A delicate and aromatic organic jasmine tea adds a touch of relaxation. Sourced from the finest leaves, this tea provides a soothing experience, perfect for moments of reflection and mindfulness.
A Gift That Reflects Craftsmanship and Thoughtfulness
Every element of the gift box was chosen to honor their Japanese heritage while creating a luxurious and meaningful experience for the recipient. Thoughtfully packed with an emphasis on aesthetics and sustainability, this curated selection embodies harmony, relaxation, and refined living.
