our mission
Paloverde is dedicated to curating, customizing, and delivering luxuriously crafted gifts for the nature lover in your life. When you’re giving a gift, every detail matters, and we’ve got you covered every step of the way. We curate unique gifts direct from independent businesses, artists, and creators, not the same cookie-cutter products you find repeatedly at many other gift box brands. We’re in the business of gifting (plant-inspired) happiness and creating memorable moments for the ones you love featuring products whose design and intention are inspired by the beauty of nature.
promise
We promise to deliver joy in a box. To think of every detail. To make the gift-giving process easy, fun, and fulfilling, whether you’re gifting one box to a friend or loved one, or gifting 500+ boxes for your company’s holiday party. We promise that your gift will arrive beautifully packaged, thoughtfully designed, and filled with love, from our home to yours. We pride ourselves on sourcing gifts from other women-run businesses and indie creators and artists based in the US (many local to California!), and most of our packaging elements are also made in the USA.
Essence
At our core, PALOVERDE operates on creativity, inclusivity, originality, and the beauty of connections between humans, celebrating those we love and sparking joy every day and any occasion, no matter how big or small. We love art, bespoke and small-batch items, and stepping outside the typical gift box for a one-of-a-kind experience for the gift giver and their recipient from start to finish
Vibe
PALOVERDE is the crazy plant lady next door who loves making to-do lists for fun, is forever expanding her houseplant + cactus jungle, and 9 times out of 10 has an iced coffee in hand. We live and breathe (and gift!) plants and products that celebrate natural beauty, and can’t wait to share that with you.
At Paloverde, we specialize in curated and customizable gift boxes filled with plants and botanical treasures for nature lovers. Our journey began in 2018, inspired by a cactus-themed wedding in the vibrant setting of Palm Springs. While searching for unique gifts for our bridal party, we realized that many gift box companies offered generic, mass-produced items that lacked a personal touch.
We envisioned something more—a personalized, modern, and design-forward approach that draws inspiration from the beauty of nature, which plays a pivotal role in our relationships and memories. Whether it's the crispness of an early morning desert hike, the crackle of a fire in a cozy mountain chalet, or the lush foliage of a garden, we distill these experiences into thoughtfully curated and luxuriously designed gift boxes. Each box is packaged with care, finished with a handwritten note, and crafted to celebrate life’s moments, important relationships, and sacred milestones, whether shared in person or from afar.
In June 2020, amidst the global pandemic, we officially launched Paloverde. We are honored to have played a role in connecting companies and individuals with their loved ones, friends, coworkers, and clients during such a challenging time. In 2022, we expanded our offerings by creating our own line of decorative plant accessories, sparking joy through plant decor is what inspired our inception so it only felt right to design our own products that could do the same.
Nature is a gift, and at Paloverde, we celebrate it with every personalized gift box we craft and send. To show our gratitude and give back to our beautiful planet, we plant a tree through One Tree Planted for every gift box sold. These trees contribute to reforestation efforts in our beloved home state of California.
our founder
Jillian is seasoned Event Director, where her previous role in talent hospitality led her on a constant search for the perfect gift for VIPs and event attendees. What she found was an abundance of monotonous gifting businesses, a lot of the same (dated!) gift items, and a serious lack of unique gifts for sophisticated plant lovers and those inspired by the beauty of nature. So in 2019 she set out to change that.
Jillian grew up in Solana Beach, CA, and came to LA to attend UCLA. With over 12 years of experience in music & event production, experiential marketing, and talent hospitality under her belt, launching Paloverde felt like the perfect next step to further build on her passion for design, experience, and celebrating life’s best moments. Jillian loves cozying up with her three Maine Coons cats (Finn, Maeby & George Michael), exploring the world for perfect longboarding lefts, and of course, tending to her ever-evolving indoor houseplant menagerie.
