How somethingfor.me works
somethingfor.me is a gift box shop built on a poem and an idea. Every box follows a rhyme that begins (something you want, something you need, something to write, something special indeed), and every line represents a hand-picked gift for a special friend or family member or you!
1. Choose your box. Pick The Just a Sprinkle, The Mini Treat, The Little Something, The Something More or The Giftapalooza. You can also choose the items in each gift box for yourself. Just choose Build Your Own Gift Box with 3, 5, 7, or 10 gifts. Tell me the occasion, and share a few favorites (and anything to skip) on the questionnaire at checkout.
2. Complete the questionnaire at checkout. When you add this box to your cart, a short questionnaire will pop up. Tell me a little about your person (favorite colors, what they love, anything to skip), and I'll use it to pick from each ribbon so their box feels made just for them. Or for Build Your Own Gift Box, choose the exact gifts you want to include in the box!
3. I pull the ribbons. Each line of our poem has its own wrapped gift box full of ribbons. For every line, I pull a ribbon — and at the end of each ribbon is a tag naming the treasure that goes in your box. Watch the pulls on Instagram or Facebook!
4. I add the sprinkles. Little extras tucked in for good measure: one in The Just a Sprinkle, two in The Mini Treat and The Little Something, four to five in The Something More and The Giftapalooza.
5. Wrapped with care. Each gift carries its rhyme tag so the poem guides the unboxing. Every treasure is tied with the very ribbon I pulled.
6. On its way. Your box ships to you or straight to your favorite person, with your gift note tucked inside. Local to Fort Collins? Pick it up for free!

How somethingfor.me came to be
Hi, my name is Dana. I've been a singer and voice teacher my entire career, and I still love both. But I have another great love: giving gifts and celebrating special moments and seasons with fun surprises that bring joy and remind the people I love just how much I love them.
Every major holiday was a chance to build a special box for each of my children. I curated every one around their tastes, hobbies and wishes, and I loved wrapping each gift. To me, the presentation was just as important as the gift itself. The tradition began with my own mother, and I've carried on her legacy, with maybe a bit more extravagance.
We all have people and moments worth celebrating, but not everyone loves choosing the gifts as much as I do. That's why I started somethingfor.me: to help you send the perfect gift box for any occasion, and maybe pick out a little something for yourself.
The name says it all: somethingfor.me… and you… but also me. Send a box to someone who deserves a little joy, and don't forget to treat yourself, too.
Thank you for being here. I can't wait to pull some ribbons for you!
— Dana
