Shalini’s Story

From My Desk to Yours

For as long as I can remember, I've been a crafter by passion. What started as making birthday cards and tiny handmade gifts as a child became my way of celebrating every milestone, honoring every relationship, and making people feel truly special.

Over the past two decades, I've designed countless event themes, hosted gatherings for every occasion imaginable—from whimsical children's parties to elegant soirées—and discovered something beautiful: the magic is always in the details. A perfectly chosen color palette, a handmade decoration, a gift crafted with someone specific in mind—these are the touches that transform ordinary moments into memories people carry with them.

MentoBox is where this lifelong passion comes to life for you. It's my way of sharing what I love most: curating personalized gifts, creating hands-on experiences, and designing celebrations that feel as unique as the people they're for.

Open scrapbook with multiple photos of social gatherings and friends inside, some of which are pixelated, with handwritten and printed text including a quote about friendship and a caption about a trip to Dubai.

What I Bring To MentoBox

I don't just create gifts—I listen to your stories and turn them into one-of-a-kind treasures. I don't just run workshops—I create spaces where people slow down, connect, and make something together. And I don't follow templates—everything is tailored to the occasion, the recipient, and the emotion you want to convey.

From personalized photo albums and surprise boxes to dream catcher workshops and festive team-building activities, every MentoBox creation carries a piece of my heart and a whole lot of thoughtful creativity.

What clients say about working with me: Patient. Thoughtful. Creative. Open to every idea. And genuinely excited to bring your vision to life.
