THE NICE GIFT LIST™

The season of giving is here and we're here to help you GIVE NICE ™  


The NICE GIFT SHOP⁠ ™ by PARO STORE is the place to get special, handmade, planet-friendly gifts made with love by small brand owners.  And when you're passionate about supporting businesses that care about the planet, there is nothing worse than receiving a gift you don't like, you don't need,  or is from a place you don't want to support (no more bucks in billionaire Jeff Bezos' pocket pleeease!).  So how do yo make sure GET NICE too?


The only sure fire way to make sure you're getting what you want is to let people know what that is. Make a list, send links, and don't forget to send your sizes!  We asked Cathelijne Blok, Michelle Amo and Jason Tjon Affo to share their NICE GIFT LIST™ full of their favourite things in PARO STORE that they'd like to get this holiday season. Have a browse through our responsibly made products and make your own NICE GIFT LIST ™ that you can share with your nearest and dearest.
