Beyond baby gift boxes
Unique baby gifts with unwavering support for adoptive families
Our shop is more than baby gift boxes. Behind Hello Duchess is a family who’s walked the winding, emotional road of adoption—and who knows, deeply, how layered that journey really is.
The waiting.
The wondering.
The hoping.
The heartbreak.
It’s a process full of paperwork, vulnerability, and so many unanswered questions. One minute you’re picturing your future with a child you haven’t met yet. The next, you’re sitting in silence, questioning if it will ever happen.
For adoptive parents, the journey is often marked by rejection, long stretches of waiting, and a constant feeling of being evaluated.
Every form you fill out feels like an exam.
Every conversation feels like an interview.
You try to prove you’ll be a good parent, even when your heart already knows you will be. And even when a match is made, there’s still a quiet ache—because the baby you’ve dreamed of doesn’t become yours until a birth mother makes one of the most selfless, heartbreaking decisions of her life.
Personalized baby gifts that uplift and acknowledge the adoption journey
At Hello Duchess, we hold space for the complexity of it all—with deep empathy for birth parents making impossible choices, and for adoptive parents navigating a system that often feels overwhelming and opaque. We know the courage it takes to keep showing up with an open heart, and we believe families built through adoption deserve to be celebrated, supported, and seen.
That’s why giving back is at the heart of everything we do. With every purchase we’re committed to helping other adoptive families feel less alone in the process—and reminding them that their story, with all its twists and turns, is full of purpose and beauty.
The faces behind our unique baby gifts
Hello Duchess is a family-owned business, and these are the faces behind our custom baby boxes.
Trixie, is the owner and founder, and proud mom to one incredible little girl—and her husband, Matt—the steady force behind the scenes and the heart that keeps things moving for his girls.
Their journey to parenthood wasn’t easy. Like so many adoptive families, Trixie and Matt navigated a path filled with uncertainty, vulnerability, and waiting. But through all the ups and downs, they held onto hope. And when they finally welcomed their daughter home—their very own little duchess—their world changed forever.
What began as a deeply personal experience grew into something more: a way to give back, celebrate the joy of new life and honor every kind of family. At Hello Duchess, every small batch of unique personalized gifts for baby is hand-selected with love, every gift box is thoughtfully curated and every order carries the spirit of their story.
Because every baby deserves to be celebrated. And every parent—no matter how they got there—deserves to feel seen, supported and showered in joy.
