General Questions
What exactly does Secretly Gifting do?
We are a gift concierge company based in Washington DC specializing in bespoke and creative gifting solutions for individuals and corporations. We source specialty items from our diverse network of global vendors in order to connect every client with the perfect gift for every occasion. Working with both individuals and companies large and small, we are best known for impactful gift giving that begins with the presentation. The gift budgets range greatly from $50 to $50,000 +. Individuals can work with us on a single gift or purchase a “package” which entitles them to our services for 3, 5, or 10 gifts. Businesses work with us to create custom gifting programs that foster the relationships that matter most. This could mean internal team appreciation gifts or client gifts to ensure lasting and fruitful connections. We help companies cut their gifting costs while streamlining and elevating their gifting programs.
How long before I receive my gift options?
We generally ask for two full business days. This allows us adequate time to research unique gift ideas and source them from our extensive network of vendors. We can work off of an abbreviated timeline in extenuating circumstances, but do not recommend this for most clients.
How can I learn about Secretly Gifting special events, sales, collaborations, and new product drops in The Gift Vault?

What if I am not satisfied with the gift options presented to me?
Each client’s complete and utter satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. If a client is not happy with the initial gift concepts presented, we go back to the drawing board and present additional items until we get it right! To avoid situations like this, our process for every client begins with a thoughtful and comprehensive Q&A. This helps us understand the client’s objectives and concerns, while relaying important details about the tastes and preferences of the recipient, as well as important timeline and budget information.
Do I have to pay extra for wrapping?
We take great pride in the presentation of our gifts and our acclaimed gift wrap is included with our fees for individual gifting. This includes everything from wrapping paper, boxes and the finest ribbon that will accompany the gift. Corporate orders incur an additional wrapping fee based on the scope of the project. This is accounted for in each client’s initial quote.
What do I pay in addition to the cost of the gift?
Each client pays a special fee to retain our services. This covers the cost of our time spent researching and procuring your gift(s), as well as custom wrapping, delivery, and supplies. Our services begin at $150 for one gift. This fee includes two gift options that you can choose from. Take one and save the other for later! Individual clients receive a tiered discount for gifts purchased in “packages” (for more information on our available packages, email us at info@secretlygifting.com). Pricing for corporate clients is custom, based on the size and scope of the project.
Is there a minimum price for the gift itself?
No. The gift concepts we present to you will reflect your objective and budget, as well as the recipient’s preferences. We’re prepared to present gifts that cost anywhere from $50 to $50,000+ and we do not charge a minimum.
