Welcome to The Gift Box
Located in Syracuse, New York
Owner: Jan Strodel Constas

Jan Constas worked for years in the corporate arena, but always dreamed of owning a gift shop. After several corporate buyouts and company layoffs, she decided to do something that she really enjoyed. Luckily, a local store came up for sale and she was able to purchase it. Seven years later, she has created a thriving business that her customers love.

The Gift box carries a tantalizing collection of primitive, colonial and American gifts and home accents. It took a few years to figure out what her customers were seeking, but she realized that you must buy what your customer base desires; it’s not always about what she likes.

The shop has a warm, cozy atmosphere with an antique country flair and radiates a familiar, welcoming feeling that envelops you the minute you walk through the front door. It reminds us of the simplicity of yesteryear.

The owner and her staff take pride in top quality customer service to make each person who enters feel special.

The Gift Box carries some of the following items:

Collectibles: Willow Tree, Williraye Studio, Heartwoodcreek by Jim Shore

Candles & Tartburners: Pilgrim Candles, LastingLite electric candles by CR-Designs, Irvin’s Country Tinware, Sassy Primitives – handcrafted candles – “A candle in a candle”, Orla Soy Candles

“This is more than a gift shop – it’s a relaxing oasis. Just visiting this shop gives me a little mood pick-me-up. I’ve also received helpful decorating advice and loved the results of my shopping here!”

“This little comfort zone always has unusual items for every season. You can feel the love the owner puts into gathering all the items for all of us to purchase for others and of course, ourselves.”

“When I visit The Gift Box it is not only a place where you get a gift to give, but you also receive a gift of conversation joy and a sense of home. It is an experience you won’t forget and you will always have the desire to want to go back, because The Gift Box is certainly a “gift”.
