Rachel Silberman, Luxjoy and Comfort (Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Radio, Episode 26)

Rachel Silberman of Luxjoy and Comfort joined host John Ray to discuss her company’s unique gift boxes for personal, corporate, and holiday gifting. Luxjoy and Comfort offers a wide variety of themed gift boxes, such as LGBTQIA+ Pride, Gourmet Foodie, and Baby and Kids, as well as custom gifting. Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Radio is produced virtually by the Minneapolis St. Paul studio of Business RadioX®.

Luxjoy and Comfort

Luxjoy and Comfort was founded in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, by Rachel Silberman in 2019, with the goal of fostering connection and bringing joy and love to people of all ages.

Gift boxes are the perfect way to say, “I’m thinking of you,” bringing a smile to someone’s face, while encouraging them to slow down and take some time for themselves.

She was inspired by monthly subscription boxes and the excitement of getting a surprise full of special items that make us feel pampered and unique, offering a moment of joy to escape into. Luxjoy and Comfort expanded on that idea, putting the focus back on connections and relationships. The end result? Beautifully and thoughtfully designed gift boxes that are customizable and wonderfully unique and special for every giftee.

They specialize in gifts of all kinds – from spa baskets to foodie bundles, to luxury executive gifts, to tea and novels for that special bookworm sister-in-law – you name it, they’ve got you covered!

Choose from dozens of pre-designed gift boxes or shoot us a message to make your box truly unique. Everyone needs a little pick-me-up now and then, and Luxjoy and Comfort is here to bundle up the goodness with care & love.

Rachel Silberman, Owner, Luxjoy and Comfort

Rachel has a degree in web design and experience in the digital marketing arena. After a stint in New York City, she returned to Minnesota to find a business that interested her.

When she was unable to find any LGBTQIA+ gift boxes for her orientation, she decided to make customized gift boxes for anyone’s orientation so they feel loved and included.

She has developed that concept through Luxjoy and Comfort, and with each box contributes to a chosen nonprofit.

Rachel started Luxjoy to offer a full range of customized gift boxes and hopes in the future to offer subscription boxes.
