About Us

Gift Wrapping PassionGiving a gift is a way of expressing thoughtfulness, appreciation, love, and your emotion. Your presentation should say the same thing. After all, it is the first image of your gesture.
Our name crown+branch comes from a union of symbolism we believe to be at the root of all gifting. The presentation of a gift, embodies a timeless tradition of giving selflessly from the heart. Our crown represents giving, glory and royalty, as well as referring to the “branches” on top of a tree. Our branch represents strength, growth, family and the origin of paper. crown+branch presents the royal treatment to you, enrobing your treasures in lavish paper and opulent crowns of ribbon. All of our wrapped masterpieces are crested with our signature gold crown and natural branch, signifying your imperial gesture contained within.
