Breadwright Box
Breadwright Box — Real Bread, done the right way. Simple Ingredients. Delivered to Your Door.
Looking for a thoughtful and delicious gift this holiday season? Meet Breadwright, a Massachusetts-based company bringing exceptional, slow-fermented artisan bread directly to homes across the country.
Breadwright was founded by two longtime friends, Gagi Stamenkovic and Mo Saeed, who shared a simple vision: make extraordinary bakery-quality bread accessible to households everywhere.
A second-generation bakery professional, Gagi spent more than a decade at his family’s bakery, Pain d’Avignon, supplying artisan breads to some of the Northeast’s finest chefs and restaurants. Mo brought the vision to life digitally, building the Breadwright platform and making it easier than ever to enjoy exceptional artisan bread at home.
At the heart of Breadwright is a commitment to real bread made the traditional way. The collection celebrates slow fermentation, simple, natural ingredients, and clean-label baking, without unnecessary additives or artificial preservatives. Slow fermentation allows dough to develop naturally over time, creating exceptional flavor, beautiful texture, and improved digestibility compared with commercially produced breads sold at supermarkets.
Breadwright believes that great bread shouldn’t require a long list of ingredients. It’s about time, craftsmanship, and quality.
The Signature Artisan Bread Box features six carefully selected varieties, including Country Sourdough, Cranberry Pecan, Multigrain Pullman, Pane Francese, Seeded Sourdough, and Demi Baguettes. A seasonal standout, the Cranberry Pecan loaf is especially perfect for Thanksgiving tables and holiday feasts, pairing beautifully with roasted turkey, festive cheeses, and cultured butter.
Each loaf arrives fully baked and frozen, helping preserve freshness without relying on added preservatives. Simply thaw and enjoy, or warm in the oven to restore that irresistible fresh-baked crust.
For the holidays, Breadwright also offers gift collections and specialty additions featuring Ploughgate Sea Salt Cultured Butter, single-origin Colombian coffee roasted by Pain d’Avignon, and a delicious 2-pack of Bavarian Soft Pretzels made in collaboration with the iconic Iggy’s Bread of the World.
Whether you’re shopping for a food lover, a busy family, a holiday host, or someone who seems to have everything, Breadwright makes a unique and memorable gift that everyone can enjoy together.
Offering free shipping throughout the continental United States, Breadwright makes it easy to share the experience of exceptional artisan bread with friends and family, near or far.

Bevel & Bond: End-Grain Maple Cutting Boards, Made in Oregon, USA
Bevel & Bond is a small American cutting board company started in 2025 by co-founders Jeff and James. We make one thing and put everything into it: a thick end-grain cutting board, built in Oregon from US-grown hard maple.
The Bevel & Bond End-Grain Maple Cutting Board ($139.99, free US shipping)
Our signature board measures 17 x 13 x 1.75 inches. That’s big enough to carve a holiday roast or break down a whole chicken, and at over 10 pounds it stays put on the counter while you work. It’s built end-grain, which means the wood fibers face up like the bristles of a brush. Your knife slips between the fibers instead of slicing across them, so it’s gentler on knife edges and everyday cut marks are far less noticeable. Hard maple is the classic butcher-block wood: dense, tight-grained and easy to care for.
Why it makes a great holiday gift
- Made in Oregon, USA, from US-grown hard maple
- Arrives in a gift box, ready to wrap
- Backed by a 5-year warranty
- Free shipping anywhere in the US
- Engraving available on request for a personal touch
Board Balm Cutting Board Conditioner ($19.95)
A wooden board stays at its best with a little regular care. Our Board Balm is a simple blend of mineral oil and beeswax that keeps the surface conditioned and looking rich. Add a tin to the board for a complete gift set.
Who it’s for
Home cooks, newlyweds, new homeowners, weekend grillers, and anyone who appreciates something made in America that gets used every single day. It’s the kind of gift that’s still on the counter years from now.
