Maison Soirée Gifting FAQ
​
Everything you didn’t know you needed to ask — answered with a little flair.
​
How does Maison Soirée gifting work?
Every project begins with a conversation — never a catalog. We’ll learn about your recipient (or recipients), the occasion, your goals, and the emotions you want the gift to evoke. Then we design one-of-a-kind concepts built around them, not around trends. Once you approve, we create, wrap, and deliver your masterpiece.
​
How far in advance should I reach out?
The earlier, the better. For custom gifts or commissions, we recommend a minimum of 3–4 weeks, though we’ve been known to perform miracles on tighter timelines. Large corporate gifting programs or immersive experiences may require 6–8 weeks (and a bit of champagne-fueled brainstorming).
​
​
What’s the price range?
Our gifts begin at $100 per recipient and go up from there — all the way to “no limits.” Each project is fully customized, and pricing depends on scale, sourcing, craftsmanship, and presentation. Please note gift wrapping and shipping are an additional price.
How does payment work?
After our consultation, we create a gifting proposal — a detailed outline of your concept. It includes your project’s creative direction, design elements, timelines, and pricing options. You’ll have the opportunity to review and refine before we begin.
Once your proposal is approved, a 50% deposit is required to start production, with the remaining balance due 7 days prior to completion, delivery or shipment. For larger or recurring corporate programs, we can accommodate custom invoicing and retainers.
We accept all major forms of payment.
​
​
Do you handle both personal and corporate gifting?
Yes. And we take both equally seriously.
Personal gifting celebrates relationships, milestones, and memories.
Corporate gifting celebrates gratitude, loyalty, and shared success.
The difference is tone, not thoughtfulness.

​
​
Can all the gifts be the same, or can each one be different?
Completely up to you. We can create uniform gifts for a group (perfect for events or client programs) or entirely individual pieces — each tailored to its recipient’s personality, story, or preferences.
​
​
Do you handle wrapping, shipping, and delivery?
Absolutely. Presentation is everything.
We offer full packaging, note-card design, and local or international delivery. We can even hand-deliver when discretion or timing matters most.
​
​
What should I prepare before contacting you?
A few details help us start:
-
When you need the gift(s) by
-
How many you’ll need
-
Whether they’ll be the same or unique
-
Your approximate budget range
-
Who the gift(s) are for
-
The tone: celebratory, emotional, apologetic, thank-you, “just because,” etc.
From there, we take it and turn it into something unforgettable.
​
​
Can I see ideas before committing on a final gift?
Of course. After your consultation, we’ll present a curated selection of concepts. Once you choose your direction, we refine the details until it’s exactly right.
​
​
What makes Maison Soirée gifts different?
Every piece we create tells a story.
We don’t source from shelves — we source from sentiment. Our gifts blend emotion, craftsmanship, and artistry to create experiences people remember long after the wrapping paper is gone.
