We have writers in major cities all over the world scouring local areas for trusted gift shops and services.

OUR TRUSTED GIFT REVIEWERS
They may come from different walks of life, but the special thing our reviewers have in common is they’re all thoughtful givers!
Whichever city they land in, they know just where to look for reliable gift stores—whether you want flowers, artisan crafts, or novelty gifts.

HOW WE REVIEW GIFT STORES
We trust the locals to lead us in the right direction. Our research begins by asking local residents where the best gift shops in the area are.
We narrow down our selections using criteria made to ensure quality products and reliable service. The criteria are explained in every list.
HOW WE KEEP OUR SITE RUNNING
You, our readers, help keep our site up. We may earn a commission when you order an item through a link on our website.
But this doesn’t mean we sell our reviews. We write independently and give our honest opinions of the products and services we feature on our lists.
WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU
We’re all ears, whether you have a recommendation, query, or disagreement! Reach us through the form on our contact page or our email: [email protected].
Who We Are?
Hello, I’m Jack, the founder of Trusted Gifts. I actually ended up making this site because of a problem (or what I think is one of the best problems a man can have): I have a ton of friends and family spread out all over the world and constantly have to search for gift shops in their area just to send them something nice on special occasions.
This is harder than most people think. It’s not like sending gifts to my mom, who lives a few minutes’ drive away.
I know all the gift stores that deliver around here and I know which ones I can trust to drop off truffles to my mother without squishing them. But I can’t say that of the gift shops in my brother’s area, as he now lives in the UK.
Things like that matter when you’re sending something to a loved one. Eventually, I realized other people were probably dealing with the same problem. Time to do something about it!
That’s how Trusted Gift Reviews came to be. We have people in each major city or area reviewing the most trustworthy or major gift review shops and services. All to help people figure out the best options when they want to do something nice for their loved ones.
So if you want to send someone you love a little token of appreciation, check out our list of trusted shops for their area first! That way, you know that the gift will be delivered with the same love and care you’d show yourself if you were the one presenting it to them in person.
Keep giving!
