The bespoke service is the brainchild of Singaporean self-made entrepreneur Rubina Tiyu, who had to pivot her business from wedding planning to e-commerce gifting. The idea has also given her the opportunity to work with some of her favourite retail shops.
“Inside the Knot was a successful wedding planning and events company, but when COVID-19 struck, I was stuck with a warehouse full of props and no weddings to plan. I had to quickly come up with an idea that would not only be meaningful, after all we’re in the business of creating moments and experiences, but also appeal to people during this crisis.” said Tiyu.
There are currently over 20 options for curated hampers of baked food and drinks, including the Butter Cake Bundle (S$58) consisting of butter cake (choice of plain, almond, orange or cranberry) and four muffins along with sparkling tea by The Gryphon Tea Company, and The Tea Party Set (S$188) - featuring scones, mushroom quiches and croissants by Patisserie G, Basque burnt cheesecake by Aitor, cranberry pecan cookies, jams, fresh berries, Gryphon Tea and flowers.
Gifters can choose preselected food and drink hampers under Munchies, omakase flowers (no two designs are the same) under Petals and Foliage, and bundled pampering gifts (look under Lifestyle). They can also order ala carte items under Marketplace at www.knotsandgifts.com. A 48-hour notice is required for all orders.
