What is the minimum order for custom gift sets?
20 sets for standard designs, 50 sets for custom branding/packaging. Lead time: 2-4 weeks.
Can gift sets include fresh/frozen items?
Yes, but frozen items (wagyu) require cold chain shipping. We offer both ambient-only sets (easier logistics) and mixed sets with proper cold packaging.

Yes. We can ship individual sets to multiple addresses with personalized gift cards. Popular for corporate holiday gifting programs.
