About Ribbon and Crate

Hi! I’m Kristen, the heart behind Ribbon + Crate Co.

What began as a love for thoughtful gifting and creative projects has grown into a shop full of bundles made to spark joy, connection, and a little fun in life’s everyday moments.

It all started with a 30-page gifting guidebook I created to help people plan themed, intentional gifts—without the stress. That guide became the spark for what Ribbon + Crate is today, and it will be available soon so you can have that same inspiration at your fingertips.

The name Ribbon + Crate came after many iterations (and maybe a little overthinking!). In true “if you let it go and it comes back, it’s meant to be” fashion, this one stuck. I loved the contrast: Ribbon—delicate, detailed, and beautiful—and Crate—strong, structured, and foundational. Together, they capture the essence of great gifting: meaningful details wrapped in something thoughtful and lasting.

I created this store to help people gift better—with intention, personality, and charm. Whether it's a themed tag bundle for a cozy night in, a new driver, or a proud pet parent, each set is designed to make giving (and receiving!) feel special. Every tag is made to order so we can stay flexible and thoughtful as we learn what our customers love most.

     

We currently have over 20 additional themes to add soon, sure we will come up with more, so check back often—we’re just getting started! Our future plans include expanding into gifting containers and other handpicked details to help make your gift-giving journey even more meaningful.

As a mom of one, a maker, and a memory-keeper, I know how important it is to slow down and celebrate the people we love. This shop is my way of sharing that joy with you.

Thanks so much for being here—and happy gifting!

And a heartfelt thank you to my family, who have been my sounding board from the very beginning—offering ideas, honest thoughts, and endless support that helped shape and improve the very first Gift Tag Bundles.

P.S. Don’t toss your tag! Our wooden gift tags make adorable holiday ornaments, keepsake bookmarks, or a sweet little reminder tied to your favorite basket or tote. Thoughtful gifting and a second life? Yes, please.
