A few of our favorite things...

We love a soft, unbelievably cozy Pine Cone Hill robe and steaming hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows in front of the fire after a long hike in the woods.

We love the vibrant, contemporary flair of French Bull Melamine plates, bowls and accessories for parties, or a backyard barbeque for two.

We love the astonishing luxury of Niven Morgan Velveting Body Lotion after a candlelit bath at the end of a fully committed day.

Most of all, we love the expressions of pleasure from a beloved friend when they open the perfect gift.

Let us share our love of simple gifts that make life extraordinary with you and those you love.

Simply Giving

It's the little surprises and delicious moments that truly put a spring in our step. The same goes for gifts. We've combed the markets to find goodies that add a serious hit of fun to each and every day. All our products are fresh, contemporary and easy to integrate into your life. From a divine artichoke pesto that makes your taste buds sing to a cozy robe for a frosty winter night, we only sell gifts that we absolutely love. If we wouldn't wrap it up for our best friends, it won't make the cut.

Packaged With Care

Planning, shopping, packing, sending, tracking. Who's got the time? Giving a fabulous gift shouldn't mean you have to book a personal day. Relax and hand over your to-do list. We've already done of the heavy lifting. Every gift you order from Give Simple will arrive at its destination in our crisp, feminine signature packaging. No sloppy recipient cards. Your gifts will always be beautiful.

Giving Back

We have a powerful belief in giving back.  We give a portion of our sales to causes we love.   We also give of our time to help make a difference.  Some of our favorite causes are:  Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, The United Way, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, Houston Area Women’s Center (providing support services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault), The Houston Zoo, and animal rescue.
