A Little Bit About Us
Welcome to Ribbon & Blues!
We’re thrilled you have found us, and we’re excited to share a bit about our story and what makes us tick. Ribbon & Blues is a New Zealand business celebrating 30 fabulous years of spreading joy through supplying gift wrapping supplies and packaging. We took the reins in 2018, bringing fresh energy and a touch of our personal flair to this already well loved business.
I’m Jane Francis, and before diving into the world of gift wrapping, I spent my days immersed in fashion and importing. It just felt like the perfect fit when my husband Tim, who comes from a food industry background, and I decided to purchase what was then named Ribbon n Blues. The idea of bringing joy through gift-giving and transforming ordinary packages into something special felt like the right next venture for us.
While I might not have been a gift-wrapping guru right off the bat, my love for styling and fashion, coupled with a passion for product sourcing, drives us to offer the widest range of wrapping and packaging options available in New Zealand. Our goal is to make your gift presentation as amazing and memorable as possible, whether you’re wrapping a single present, in charge of the corporate gifting, or creating the image for your brand.
Our team is equally passionate about everything aesthetic, and we’re here to help inspire you. Check out our “Be Inspired” gallery for ideas that are both stunning and surprisingly easy to achieve—no glue guns necessary! We’re all about making beautiful, stylish wrapping accessible to everyone on any budget. If you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to contact us as we’re always eager to help and expand our range to meet your needs.
Sustainability is important to us too. We’ve introduced trust icons on our products so you can shop with confidence, knowing that you’re choosing eco-friendly options.
In addition to our wide range of high-quality products, we’ve made it our mission to be accessible to everyone, not just wholesalers. Drop by our showroom on Auckland’s North Shore without an appointment during our opening hours, and if you happen to visit in November or December, don’t miss our annual Xmas pop-up shop. For those who have been in, you’ll probably recognise Leo, our office dog, who’s always here to greet you with a wagging tail.
Thank you for choosing Ribbon & Blues. We can’t wait to help you find your style and add that special touch to your gifting and we hope you come away loving the customer service and products we offer.
