The Eco-Kitchen Box (Abundance)
For the home cook whose kitchen is the heart of their home — and for the person who loves them enough to give them the whole kitchen.
You know the one. The friend who insists on cooking when you come over. The partner whose Sunday meal prep is a small Sunday meditation. The family member who's been quietly swapping plastic for glass and paper towels for cloth. The person who just moved into their first real kitchen and is figuring out how they want to live. The friend who's said yeah, I should probably stop buying paper towels and never actually has. They don't need another gift card to a big-box store. They need the considered objects that match how they already live — or the gentle introduction to a way of living that they haven't yet started, but might love.
The Eco-Kitchen Abundance Box is for the moments when you want to give the complete plastic-free kitchen. It includes everything in the Essential Box — and expands with the apron worth looking forward to putting on, the matching measuring spoons, the floor cleanup, and the soap dish tray that gives the Dish Block a real home.
What's inside
Everything in the Essential Box, plus:
- Hand-Woven Guatemalan Apron — a vivid, hand-woven cotton apron made by Guatemalan artisans in a fair-trade cooperative. Colorful, durable, machine washable, and the kind you'll actually want to leave hanging on the hook. Fair Trade, Nonprofit, Handmade.
- Wooden Coffee/Tea Measuring Spoons & Scoops by Craft House — handmade walnut, designed to live alongside the Essential's utensil set. Woman-Owned, Handmade in Vietnam.

Includes free in-house laser engraving on the wooden box — their name, a meaningful word (home, gather, nourish, table), or a phrase that matters, laser-engraved. The box becomes part of the gift — something they'll keep on the counter as a reminder of the kind of kitchen they're building.
Every box is curated in our Alexandria studio and ships gift-ready with a handwritten note in your own words. Contents may vary slightly based on availability.
A thoughtful gift for: housewarmings, first apartments, cross-country moves, recent graduates setting up their first real kitchen, wedding gifts, anniversary milestones, friends transitioning to plastic-free living, the partner who keeps meaning to start, parents teaching kids about sustainability, and the home cook who deserves not just the start of a plastic-free kitchen — but the whole thing.
