Holiday Gift: Gift Boxes from Calico in San Francisco

December 9, 2010

Ordinarily, we like to create our own locavore gift boxes. That is, until we stumbled upon these gift boxes from Calico Gifts, a new venture from San Francisco musician Kathryn Anne Davis. Davis assembles boxes of reclaimed wood filled with local products and vintage finds; after you unpack the wares, you can plant a save-the-bees wildflower garden inside with the enclosed seed packet.

"I wanted to create one-of-a-kind assemblages of products from friends and small producers; everything is super local," Davis says. "The boxes are a no-waste situation; each element is savable, usable." Among the local products Davis sources: coffee beans from Sightglass Coffee (owned by siblings and Blue Bottle alums Jerad and Justin Morrison), bath products from Berkeley-based Jane Blankenship of Captain Blankenship, specialty salts from Marin County-based All Star Organics, spirits from Sutton Cellars in Napa, Cocoa Absolute artisan chocolate by San Francisco-based Jewel Zimmer, and more. Go to Calico Gifts to place an order.
