One of our biggest priorities at BOXFOX is to pack our boxes with thoughtful and non-disposable products that can be used and appreciated for weeks/months/years to come. And nothing stands the test of time quite like a great book (we see you, The Bible). One of the joys of receiving a great book as a gift (besides getting a bomb new conversation starter for your coffee table) is being able to read it time and time again, always finding something new in the story.
In the spirit of gifting books and sharing stories, some of our team here at BOXFOX HQ sat down to talk about their favorite reads.
GRACE / CORPORATE BUSINESS LEAD
What’s your favorite book of all time?
Without a doubt the Harry Potter series (can that count as one book? haha). I told our co-founder Chelsea just last night that my kids will have HP required reading and discussions before they can watch the movies!
Which book that BOXFOX currently carries is your favorite?
The Lost Guides: BALI. My best friend and I were glued to it during our Bali trip - it contains the best recommendations for the millennial traveler.
Who would you gift it to?
I would gift Danielle her own copy as a memento of our amazing trip together, and maybe even inspiration to go back!
JENNI / CMO

SABENA / COO
What’s favorite book of all time?
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (ever heard of him?). Such a beautiful story of a complex family.
Which book that BOXFOX currently carries is your favorite?
Milk and Honey! I’ve been a fan of Rupi Kaur for a while, so when we were thinking about Valentine’s Day products to carry, that book came to mind immediately (plus, we just love the minimal cover design). She is such an amazing writer and her poetry is just so moving.
Who would you gift it to?
I’d give it to a close girlfriend — maybe someone going through a tough time, because the book is all about rising above the pain of everyday life to find the beauty.
CHELSEA / CEO
What’s your favorite book of all time?
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. Got to love that sweet, sweet revenge.
Which book that BOXFOX currently carries is your favorite?
Stephen King's On Writing. Both me (and our Head of Fulfillment Rachel...because we went to high school together!) were assigned this the summer before junior year. His writing style is so clear, well-crafted and concise that it inspires a whole new way to communicate.
Who would you gift it to:
I have given this to so many people, but I'd probably gift this new edition to my best friend Michael. He's a talented and aspiring writer (who also went to high school with me, and loves this book).
