How to Choose a Gelato Gift Box
Updated October 2026: delivery and ribbon details in this guide now reflect our current options — complimentary delivery every Wednesday and Sunday on four tubs, or same-day across Metro Manila when you order by 3 PM.
Choosing a gelato gift box comes down to four quick calls: how many tubs, which flavors, ribbon or clean, and what the note should say. The shortcut: a four-tub box is the sweet spot — the gift box is on us, and delivery is complimentary every Wednesday and Sunday. And you're not limited to our pre-made sets: pick any four tubs and we'll build a custom box with the same packaging and gift treatment. Here's how to decide in under a minute.
1. How many tubs
Two tubs is a warm, right-sized gesture for one person or a couple; our two-tub sets include Cheeseology, Nostalgée and Child's Play. Four tubs is the move for a household or a proper occasion — a ready-made set like The Ballerina, or any four flavors you choose yourself. Four is also the threshold for the complimentary box and Wednesday and Sunday delivery.
2. Which flavors
Pick for the recipient, not yourself. Crowd-pleasers travel well; one adventurous flavor makes it memorable. Building your own four-tub box gets the same gift packaging as a pre-made bundle — so a custom set never looks "lesser." Stuck on flavors? See our gift-matching guide.
3. Ribbon or clean
Our box looks like a gift on its own. A ribbon (+₱25, in the colour you choose) adds the bow-moment for birthdays; skip it for understated gifting.
4. The note
Every order includes a printed gift note, on us — never handwritten. A line or two is plenty.
"The custom box people ask for most has pistacchio in it — for the discerning ones, it never misses. Messy Chocolate is the quiet surprise: it looks plain, then they reach the smooth chocolate truffles inside. We've even sent Lemon Sorbetto all the way out to Ayala Alabang for a few restaurateurs and regulars — and that one keeps us honest, because we churn each batch from real fruit, so its sharpness shifts a little with the lemons themselves."
