New Year, New Chapter: What's Ahead for Boxiki Group
Every January, I sit down with a notebook and try to write out what the year ahead might look like. Some years, the page fills up with ambitious plans and wild ideas. Other years, it's quieter—more focused. This year, it's both.
2025 was a transformational year for us. We rebranded to Boxiki Group, launched two new brands, renewed our ClimatePartner certification, expanded our charitable giving to seven countries, and crossed 300 products in our collective catalog. If I'm being honest, some days I still can't believe we got here from a single bamboo cutting board.
But the question that matters now is: what's next?
300+ Products and Growing
Across our twelve brands, we now offer over 300 individual products. That's a number that used to seem impossibly large—and now it feels like just the beginning. In 2026, we're planning new product launches across nearly every brand, with particular focus on Okami Blades (expanding into specialty knives), Bambiya (adding toddler furniture and play sets), and Boxiki Kitchen (new sustainable materials).
But growth for us has never been about having the most products. It's about having the right products. Every item we launch goes through the same process: Is this something we'd use ourselves? Does it solve a real problem? Is it made with materials we're proud of? If the answer to any of those is no, it doesn't ship.
Expanding Our Giving
Last year, we crossed $800,000 in total product donations across seven countries. In 2026, our goal is to reach $1 million. That milestone means a lot to me personally—not because of the number itself, but because of what it represents: tens of thousands of products in the hands of families, children, and communities that need them.
We're also working on a more transparent giving report that we'll publish quarterly, so our customers can see exactly where their support goes. Accountability matters, especially when trust is involved.
New Markets, New Opportunities
We've been primarily focused on the North American market, with growing presence in the UK and EU. In 2026, we're exploring opportunities to expand into new markets where our products can make a real difference. The details aren't final yet, but the ambition is clear: if there's a family somewhere in the world that could benefit from what we make, we want to find a way to reach them.
Gratitude
I don't take any of this for granted. Building Boxiki Group from a single product idea to a twelve-brand portfolio with over 300 products, tens of thousands of five-star reviews, and nearly a million dollars in charitable giving—that's not something one person does. It's something a team does. It's something a community does.
To our customers, our team, our manufacturing partners, and the charitable organizations we work with: thank you. You make this possible. Every day.
Here's to 2026. Let's make it count.
