About Us
Thoughtful Collection was born from a love of visiting gift shops on vacation, friends who give special treasures, a career spent making people feel appreciated and a spirit of hygge. Hygge is feeling warm, secure, together with friends and family, and present in the moment. It's the feeling you get when you are surrounded by beautiful things, spending time with gorgeous souls or picking out something you just know is going to make someone feel special, loved and seen. We hope our collection makes you think of your friends and family and the ways you can show you care. Showing up for yourself matters too...so don't be shy about treating yourself to something too.
Now located in Woodcroft Shopping Center in Durham, NC. Thoughtful Collection and Packaging Express have joined forces (hey, we're family) to bring you amazing gifts, shipping and printing. Check more things off your list in one place!

Robyn Soffera, Founder
Robyn has spent 20 years in fundraising and communications for non-profits. She believes in the handwritten note, spreading kindness and being there for people in small, quiet ways when they need support or have reason to celebrate. In 2024, she merged her online gift shop with the amazing collection at Packaging Express in Woodcroft Shopping Center in Durham, NC so her customers could stroll, browse and experience products in person and have a convenient pick up location for online orders.
