Prezzybox was founded in 2000 by Zak Edwards - just as the dot.com bubble was about to burst – great timing!! From a tiny rented office in an Industrial Estate in Leicestershire the team - Zak, Mom, Dad and Girlfriend Bianca (a real family affair eh!) busily began beavering away to create a gift site which was full of delightful products together with a number of features to make gift buying a breeze.
The site launched in 2001 with a raft of tasty products and features – such as the gift wizard, wish list feature and referrals scheme – and has gone from strength to strength.
On the way to 2006 Prezzybox has outgrown it’s offices (twice) and is well on the way of out growing its current home. The site has had two redesigns and some great new members of the team have been acquired – including Polly (head of security).
Throughout this growth the same ethos has always be been maintained – to sell a great range of goodies, with a fun and friendly approach, whilst maintaining a strong customer focused service. If this ever changes and the Prezzybox standards slips, please contact a member of the team and let them know.

Thank you for the swift delivery of the above order. As a BFPO address we normally have problems getting items delivered in 'real-time' and I am pleased to say that your company has excelled itself! It makes a nice change to send congratulations instead of complaints!
I will ensure that I 'advertise' your website within my circle of friends.
Once again, thanks. Nicky.
