Why Edible Bird's Nest Makes a Meaningful Gift

It has been given for generations as a gesture of care and respect, not an everyday present. Presentation is part of the message: whole, long strands in a proper gift box read as considered, which is why the boxed 250g white nest is the form most people picture.

Bird's Nest Gift FAQ

What's a good bird's nest gift for about $300?

At that budget, give a whole-nest 100g gift box: 5A White 100g ($220), Red Label White 100g ($280) or Blue Label White 100g ($320). A 250g box starts at $375 for Broken Nest, or $450 for whole 5A.

Whole dried nest or ready-to-drink bottles?

For a gift, whole dried nest is the more prestigious choice and lets the recipient prepare it fresh. Bottles suit a casual or sampling gift.

How much bird's nest is a good amount to give?

250g is the standard gift size. 100g is a smaller complete gift. For a larger or shared gift, sets of 2, 4 or 5 boxes scale the same nest up.

Does it ship gift-boxed, and where?

Every whole nest comes in Ten Lei Yen's own gift box. We ship within the United States, with free shipping on orders of $70 or more.
