Each laurelbox is shipped in our signature packaging, which includes crinkle paper and a gift message inside our high quality beautiful shipping box (no receipts or billing information is ever included!). Gifts purchased individually are shipped in one shipping box per order.

Please note that we do not offer the option to put a laurelbox inside a separate shipping box, so your gift will be packaged in the laurelbox shipping box that has gone through your postal service. But rest assured... that shipping box is beautiful and part of what makes laurelbox special!

Most laurelboxes ship after a processing period of:

  • 1–3 business days for standard orders
  • 7–10 business days for international orders

Our offices are closed—and do not ship—on Federal Holidays.

Shipping time begins after your order has been processed. Once your package leaves our office, carriers deliver on the approximate timelines below:

  • Standard Shipping & Hand Packaging: 4–8 business days
  • Priority Shipping & Hand Packaging: 2–5 business days
  • International Shipping & Hand Packaging (Direct Duties Paid): 8–14 business days

Please note that once orders are in transit, carrier delays are outside of our control. Even if a package arrives later than expected, we know your recipient will still feel deeply remembered by your gesture. If your package is lost in transit, our shipping insurance fully covers a replacement laurelbox.

Each and every laurelbox includes a complimentary card. During checkout, you can add a gift message. Please note that we only offer one card per order. Additional cards are available for $3 per card. If you need help writing your gift message, send us an email at info@laurelbox.com and we will help guide you in what to send and write in your card.

Beautiful way to send a message

Laurel box holds a special place in my heart. I was introduced to Laurel box by a friend who gifted me a candle during a very difficult time in my life. I remember loving the gesture and feeling loved. If you are thinking of someone and want them to feel your presence, this is the way.

Perfect sentiment

Love this as a gift and reminder to those who need to remember there is hope. Agree with other reviews that say the imagery is a bit deceiving in that it is more of a votive size. But the packaging and sentiment are gorgeous

Looked bigger

This is a lovely candle but I wished I had noted the size. It is a votive, rather than a candle. Other than that, I loved being able to send my friend an assortment of lovely things after her mom died. So special.

Just Perfect!

This was the perfect way to let my friend know I was thinking of her and to send her some comfort after the loss of her mother. Sometimes we don't know what to say or do so this was perfect.
I got a phone call from my friend and she was so happy to have received the beautiful candle that was packaged so beautifully and smelled wonderful. Even if for a moment she was happy and felt a bit of calm it was worth every penny and more!
I have always loved the quote that's on the candle which is why I chose it. We all need light when things are going dark. Thank you for creating these wonderful gifts. This will be my go to place to shop when I need to send light or comfort someone.

Just what I was looking for

Bought this for a family friend going through a difficult time. I haven't heard from the friend yet, but it arrived much faster than I expected according to the tracking! I am always thankful for Laurelbox in moments like this, and they continue to be wonderfully efficient and excellent at what they do!

Perfect!

I sent this candle to a very dear friend of mine and I couldn't be happier with it. I could customize my message in a complementary card and the package was beautiful. My friend also told me that it smells incredible and she really appreciated the message written inside the box as well. Perfect gift to let somebody know that you're there to support them and that they are part of your thoughts.

This gift gave a grieving person in my life some hope...and they said it smelled great!

The person who received this was so grateful to receive this. They said the packaging was beautiful, the smell of the candle was amazing, and the message was wonderful. I'm going to be purchasing again, because clearly, it made a difference and I was happy to bring a little light to someone's dark day. Shipping was also quick. I like this company!

Perfect Gift for Friends

I ordered this for a friend who lost two loved ones within a week of each other. I thought the message was so perfect as she was also in the process of moving to bring some light to her new home. Once I ordered my LaurelBox it was quickly shipped and arrived promptly with the other items I selected. She loved them.

A beautiful and appropriate gift to receive and also give

I received this candle when my father passed away on 1/14/2021 from my very dear friend. The candle and notecard were so beautifully packaged and it really comforted me knowing I would have this to remember my dad each time I light it.
I decided to send this unique gift to my two sisters so they could treasure this beautiful gift as I do. Johanna was most helpful and quick to reply to my call & emails regarding possibly customizing my gifts. She was very accommodating, kind and also very compassionate. The gifts were sent very quickly via priority mail and received in just a few days. My sisters love this candle as I do. LaurelBox is a unique business run by women that I will recommend and also use again to send to grieving family and friends. Thank you!

A beautiful, unique gift

I was struggling to find the perfect gift for a close friend who lost their father, flowers seemed too cliche, and then I stumbled upon laurelbox, and I’m so glad I did! The candle, among many other items available, are such beautiful and unique gifts to help a loved one suffering through a hard time. The packing was perfect, shipping was so fast, and the overall message of the gift was greatly appreciated! I’ll definitely be recommending and using laurel box in the future!

Subtle way to say, "I'm here."

This was a great gift to send to friends going through a dark time and it was a subtle way to remind them that they had support all over. The feedback was that the candle smelled amazing! Thank you for your quick shipment.

A perfect gift for a grieving friend.

Fast shipping. Wonderful product! This was the perfect gift to send a friend of mine who has experienced great loss in her life and recently. She was so grateful to receive the Light in Dark Places candle.
It’s important to take care of our grieving friends and family. It’s so easy to feel completely alone in the depths of losing a loved one.
Thank you Laurel Box for creating such a wonderful service to provide a little bit of comfort in the dark places.

A Beautiful Tribute

The sentiment behind this candle is lovely, plus it smells wonderful and looks beautiful on my table. My husband’s memory is kept alive when we light this at our family time with my four daughters or when I sit with my morning coffee. Great quality and it arrives quickly.
