Let’s get one thing straight: Chivilla Bay isn’t just a gift shop.

We’re the place you come when you don’t want a boring gift, a last-minute panic buy, or something that feels mass-produced and forgettable. We help people give gifts that feel personal, fun, and genuinely thoughtful — without overthinking it.

Here’s what makes the Chivilla Bay experience different.

Gifts That Feel Personal (Without Being Complicated)

One of the biggest reasons people shop with us? Personalization that actually makes sense.

From custom drinkware and apparel to one-of-a-kind gift ideas, we help turn everyday items into meaningful keepsakes — whether it’s:

a name
a phrase
a joke only they will get
or a design that fits their personality

Personal doesn’t have to mean over-the-top. It just has to feel right.

Experiences, Not Just Products

We believe the best gifts create moments — not clutter.

That’s why so many of our most-loved offerings are experience-based:

Frannie & Friends Create-a-Cuddly, where kids (and adults) build their own plush
Cooking & flavor experiences with Olivelle olive oils, balsamics, and seasonings
Curated gift sets designed for connection, not convenience

Gifting should be fun. We lean into that.

Funny, Feel-Good Gifts That Get Used

Not every gift needs to be serious — some of the best ones make people laugh every single day.

We’re known for:

Funny drink tumblers and mugs
Lighthearted, relatable gifts
Items that bring personality into everyday routines

Because laughter is a love language.

Curated, Not Overwhelming

We don’t try to be everything to everyone — and that’s intentional.

Every product you see at Chivilla Bay is:

Carefully chosen or designed
Something we’d actually gift ourselves
Easy to mix, match, and bundle

No endless scrolling. No decision fatigue. Just really good gift ideas.

Real People. Real Service. No Corporate Vibes.

We’re a small business with a big personality — and our customers notice.

People come back because:

We’re approachable
We’re honest
We actually care if a gift lands well

Whether you shop online or visit us in-store, you’ll always get help from a real human who wants your gift to be a success.

Thoughtful Choices, Even Behind the Scenes

We do our best to be mindful where we can — including reusing packaging materials whenever possible. It’s a simple way we reduce waste and keep costs down, and it aligns with how many of our customers shop: thoughtfully, not wastefully.
