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

We’re the place you come when you want a gift that feels thoughtful, fun, and actually gets used. Not boring. Not mass-produced. Not a last-minute panic buy that ends up in a drawer.

Chivilla Bay exists to make gift-giving easier — and a whole lot more enjoyable.

Here’s what makes the Chivilla Bay experience different.

Thoughtfully Curated Gifts (So You Don’t Have to Overthink It)

We don’t believe in endless scrolling or overwhelming choices.

Every product you see at Chivilla Bay is intentionally selected or designed because it serves a purpose — whether that’s making someone laugh, bringing people together, or helping you show up with a gift that feels just right.

Our collections are built around five core pillars that guide everything we offer:

Gourmet Gifts that turn food into an experience
Snarky Drinkware that adds humor to everyday routines
Funny Tees that people actually wear (and get compliments on)
Easy Gifts that work for any occasion or budget
Frannie & Friends, an experience that creates lasting memories

No clutter. No filler. Just good gifts.

Gourmet Gifts That Go Beyond the Kitchen

Food is one of the most universal gifts — and when it’s done right, it creates moments.

Our gourmet gift offerings are designed for real life, not just display shelves. From Olivelle olive oils and balsamic vinegars to comfort food mixes, dinner kits, and curated gift sets, these are gifts meant to be shared, enjoyed, and remembered.

Whether it’s a host gift, a thank-you, or a “just because,” our gourmet gifts make it easy to give something that feels elevated without being intimidating.

Good food. Simple joy. No guesswork.

Funny, Feel-Good Gifts That Get Used Every Day

Some of the best gifts aren’t sentimental — they’re practical, honest, and funny.

Chivilla Bay is known for snarky coffee mugs, funny drinkware, and graphic tees that speak the truth in a way people instantly relate to. These aren’t novelty items that get laughed at once and forgotten. They’re the mug someone reaches for every morning. The shirt that gets worn on repeat.

Because laughter is still one of the best gifts there is.

Easy Gifts for Every Occasion (and Every Budget)

Not every gift needs a big explanation.

Our Easy Gifts collections are built for real-world gifting:

birthdays
holidays
thank-you moments
people who are “hard to shop for”

From charms and keepsakes to gifts for kids, food treats, and seasonal favorites, these are items that work — without stress, pressure, or second-guessing.

If you need a solid gift fast, this is where you start.

Experiences That Create Real Memories

Some gifts are about more than the item itself.

Frannie & Friends Create-A-Cuddly is one of our most loved experiences because it turns gifting into a memory. Kids (and adults) get to build their own plush friend, creating something personal without complexity — and walking away with a story, not just a product.

It’s joyful, hands-on, and completely unique to Chivilla Bay.

A Small Business With Real People Behind It

We’re not a big box. We’re not corporate. And we don’t want to be.

Chivilla Bay is a small business built on relationships, community, and actually caring whether a gift lands the way you hoped it would. Whether you shop online or visit us in-store, you’re dealing with real people who genuinely want to help.

Behind the scenes, we also try to be thoughtful where we can — including reusing packaging materials when possible to reduce waste and keep things practical and responsible.
