Best Unique Gifts for Any Occasion: Inbebo Guide To Winning at Gifting

How many of us have accepted an invitation to gatherings where a gift was needed? Yes, we are excited to celebrate, but the thought of buying the host or hostess the perfect gift can be stressful. 

Inbebo curation expert Iris shares the struggle, “I’m easily going to a baby shower, a family birthday, or a wedding almost every weekend. I feel like I used to endlessly scroll trying to find the best gift that would give my friend a unique experience—not just a run-of-the-mill item” 

She continues, “The endless scrolling through reviews to find long-lasting gift items that are befitting was so taxing”. 

It is for reasons like this, that we built Inbebo. Taking from the Korean tradition of gift-giving as an art; our team of expert curators only select products we would actually buy or give to our family and friends. Think of us as your in-house testers. If we don’t like it, we won’t sell it. We’re not afraid to say no—you shouldn’t be either. Stop scroll and start loving what you buy.  

The Ultimate Gift Guide: 
Our curators Iris and Nick have selected some of their heavy-rotation picks. Unlike other giftshops, we opt for uncommon goods that give us a sense of wow! Because gift-giving is an experience best shared. 

A Gift of "Calzone" - Ultimate Foldable Plate and Storage Pouch. 
Gift best for: Eco-Friendly Friends, Kitchen-Gadget Lovers, & Hikers! 
Unfold Possibilities! Go beyond plastic-free and gift the award-winning foldable plate and storage pouch. Calzone is earth’s best-kept secret.  
Calzone, named after the yummy foldable pizza dish, is endlessly reusable and made of 100% platinum silicone--a superior quality heat-resistant surgical grade silicone. Making this eco-friendly product a must-have item for eco-friendly kitchen swaps.  

“The wow factor for me is the fact I can run it in my dishwasher. Unlike other reusable pouches where you have to wash it by hand and awkwardly dry it, the Calzone is so simple. I just unsnap the lock and pop it in the dishwasher. Easy.” – Verified Customer Cheryl S. 

Iris shares, “When thinking about what makes a truly memorable gift—is something that is super unique my friend has never seen before and even better—a gift that saves my time, money, or gives me no headache. We all have a million things to do—a gift that decreases that to-do list by 1? Sign me up!” 
And we’re not the only ones saying it. Inbebo’s Calzone won the iF design competition in 2021and again in 2022. The Calzone was awarded not only for its unique build and patented technology but also for its multi-functional use.  

The Calzone is an all-around item and kitchen staple.  Moms can use it as a snack pouch for kiddos, Co-workers can pack a great lunch, and Spouses can use it as a fridge space saver!

It could also serve as a sleek and secure pouch for your travel essentials. The BPA (Bisphenol A) free product which is present in most plastics unfolds completely and lays flat like a pizza allowing easy access to whatever you wish to store in it.

“I love to take my calzone with me on my camping trips. It is very lightweight and packs great in my backpack. I cook on my skillet over a flame and then use my calzone to eat off as a plate. If I don’t finish what I am eating I simply fold my calzone for later. On the last trip I did this and got back to my leftovers later that night in my tent. This neat product is perfect for someone like me that is always on the go and snacks constantly”

Our selection criteria: 
Inbebo is dedicated to a triple bottom line - planet, people, and profit. We think about the creators and the people who use their products in all our decisions. We select WOW gift products that meet high standards. Products are selected using several criteria – are they effective, do they enhance productivity, are they accessible, do they deliver value? This is all rooted in a dedication to sustainability practices and involves taking a broad – somewhat elastic - view of what makes a product ’sustainable’.

The curation team asks a series of interrelated questions. Does the product solve a problem? In other words – is it useful? Is it durable, is it made to last? Does it save energy, or support health and wellness? Does it help people? These elements, taken into consideration, make a product truly sustainable because it is useful and enduring.
