Company Description
At Tokki, we’re revolutionizing the gift wrap category – making gifting more meaningful and sustainable. That’s why we enable users to gift more memorably by attaching videos and photos to their gift using a unique QR code. Paired with our gift bags made out of recycled water bottles, Tokki Eco-Gifting Sets (QR card + gift bag) are designed to be reused over and over, reducing waste with each gift given. Our secret sauce is our unique digital + physical gifting experience, which is why we have 10 patents filed and pending to protect our intellectual property. We launched our core product line in June of 2022 on Tokki.com, and have since achieved distribution with over 260 independent retailers across the country.
Key Deal Facts
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: Tokki is reinventing gifting by combining reusable gift bags with a proprietary digital QR Card experience that can be added to over and over (endlessly!). We make it easy for gift-givers to create and attach personalized photo/video cards to their gift bags – right from their smart phones (no app required). To protect this unique intellectual property, Tokki has 10 patents filed and pending in the United States, Europe, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, and Australia. We believe our portfolio of patents forms a protective moat around our current product and future innovations.
MOMENTUM IN LARGE MARKET RIPE FOR INNOVATION: The average American gives 8 gifts a year, and 1 in 3 is looking for a more eco-friendly alternative. Gift wrap and greeting cards are a $35 billion dollar market that we feel is ripe for innovation – and we believe that the response to Tokki from retailers large and small shows that they agree. Since launching our core product line just this summer, we opened over 260 new accounts across the country and became an approved vendor for an international, publicly traded retailer for the 2023 holiday season.*
