Send a Hug Through the Mail

We all love the thrill of opening up packages or handwritten letters. Something magical happens when we feel the paper under our fingers and hear the tear of the envelope or package tape. Our curiosity is piqued to see what’s inside. That moment of anticipation is fun, and it allows us to process the gift or letter in a slower, more appreciative way. Digital mail just can’t compare. 

Why delivered gifts make an impact
Sending a gift through the mail instead of presenting it in person doesn’t have to diminish its impact. In fact, choosing the right gift online can make a lasting impression. It’s all in the presentation.
 
At Barktique + Meow, our goal is to make every delivery a delight to open. For us, packaging the customized gift is top of mind, and we don’t want to sacrifice the experience of opening it, either. After all, first impressions really do matter.
 
When a person receives a gift by mail, they can choose when to open it. We often wait to open a package until we have a moment to really look at it. They're a few quiet minutes that the recipient gets all to themselves, without digital ads or pop-ups.

Who has time to rewrap?
When ordering a gift online, we have choices in a variety of shapes and forms, coming in all sorts of random packaging—which frankly, doesn’t feel “gifty”. When this happens, we have to unwrap the packaged gift, then rewrap it so it presents more like a gift. That feels unnecessary.
 
If you’re short on time or you don’t want to rewrap a gift when it arrives, your presentation can still have that “wow factor” if you shop with a business that packages their mail order gifts for a special unboxing experience.

Send it right the first time.
When you send a pet welcome or memorial gift from Barktique + Meow, the recipient receives a package so beautifully designed that the simple act of opening it feels like a hug from you. The fact that the gift is personalized with their pet’s image and name and includes a custom message makes it even more special.
 
Sometimes half the thrill of receiving a great gift is in how it’s delivered. Even a gift purchased in a hurry can be the one they’ll still be talking about years from now. Choose a company that keeps the packaging presentation top of mind when sending your gift directly to your loved one. It will make all the difference.
