Our Story
We believe the best gift is the one with the biggest impact
Our Mission
We believe the simple gesture of a gift from a small business can make a sizable impact in the neighborhoods we call home.
Our Vision
We strive to simplify corporate gift giving while providing unique gift options that celebrate products made locally.
We started by
Being good neighbors
Founded in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sarah Richardson and the team at Neighborly Creative felt the need to help fellow business friends as doors were forced to close. From a simple idea, to a website developed over a weekend, a small group of people successfully sold and safely distributed hundreds of gifts from local businesses – with all dollars staying local.
Then our gift sales grew
From hundreds to thousands
By doing the Neighborly thing, our operation quickly grew from selling thousands of gifts – thanks primarily to the support of Mayo Clinic. In early 2021, we transitioned from a seasonal-only ‘project’ to a year-round gift-giving business with vendors and restaurants across southeast Minnesota.
Today, we are
Extending our impact
In 2022, we changed our name to Neighborly Gifts and moved into a 5,000 sq. ft. building in downtown Rochester. Our small team now works with businesses in five states – shipping gifts across the country while helping strengthen the neighborhoods we represent.
