The Change

Our Story

We help companies build relationships meaningfully through corporate gifts that say more than 'thank you'. All the products and packaging we create has a story for all things good, good for health, good for community, good for the environment. It's Saul Good!

While working on his MBA in sustainable business Saul saw an opportunity in the gift basket industry and knew there was a better way to appreciate clients, employees and stakeholders than with junky baskets full of crappy products filled with wasteful packaging, wrapped in cellophane and adorned with a large bow. Originally financing the business using his student line of credit Saul Good Gift Co. was born.

Through the design of 100% recycled cardboard gift boxes and filling them with locally sourced (within BC) organic, artisan, fair trade and social enterprise products, Saul Good gift baskets tell a values based story into your businesses relationship development investment.

Founded in 2006 Saul Good Gift Co. is now located in the Strathcona Green Zone, a progressive business area addressing social and environmental issues in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
