First Impressions

When I opened the beautiful packages from Flamingo Estate, I actually gasped a little. The packaging is that pretty — thick, luxe boxes in gorgeous greens with a dark olive ribbon that makes it feel high-end but in an intentional way that’s not over the top. And the smell? Earthy and clean, like you’re about to open something naturally magical. Inside? Total perfection. Nestled in dark olive confetti, each item is individually placed, so the entire package feels thoughtful and special.

These gift boxes are luxurious in a grounded, connected-to-the-earth sort of way. Essentially they’re perfect for gifting to anyone who appreciates the natural world, whether they garden, cook, cultivate a cozycore aesthetic, or just try to live sustainably.

Every product Flamingo Estate makes is rooted in nature — there’s honey from the LA mountains, olive oil from the farms of Ojai, candles inspired by gardens on the estate — and it’s all sustainably made. Celebrating the beauty of nature with evocative scents like Rosemary, Sage, and Heirloom Tomato, these gifts transport you to sunlit pathways and aromatic orchards.

Discover The Collection

Ahead you’ll find some of the best Flamingo Estates has to offer — these covetable everyday essentials are gorgeous gifts prepared to bring joy through the season and beyond.

1. A Candle That Smells Like It Was Plucked From The Vine

If you’ve ever picked a truly fresh tomato off the vine, you know it has a uniquely green scent: It’s a musky, grassy sort of smell that is pure summer garden magic. I’m not sure how Flamingo Estate captured that fragrance in this soy-wax candle, but it involves wild-harvested tarragon from Oregon and black pepper oil from Madagascar. This candle burns with a subtly earthy, fresh fragrance that transports you to a thatch of sun-drenched greenery.

2. Olive Oil Made From Centuries-Old Olive Trees

Flamingo Estate’s Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pure California gold, made by fourth-generation olive farmer Philip Aquith in the sun-soaked groves of Ojai, where hand-picked olives from centuries-old trees are pressed at peak freshness. The result is a vivid oil with bold, peppery notes, balanced by a hint of soft fruit, and high smoke point.

3. All-Natural Rosemary & Sage Hand Soap With 6 Times The Essential Oils Of Other Brands

This award-winning hand soap is a little slice of garden luxury, made with hand-harvested ingredients like rosemary, eucalyptus, and lavender that create an intoxicating, all-natural scent. Packed with nourishing oils like babassu and rosehip, it has a velvety, honey-like texture that leaves your skin clean, moisturized, and totally refreshed — without a single synthetic ingredient in sight.

Beautifully boxed with a grosgrain bow, it’s the ultimate gift for novice to pro chefs alike, elevating everyday meals into something unforgettable.
