Perceived value premium
Gift set pricing works best when the retail price reflects the perceived value of the collection, not just the sum of individual component retail prices. A well-curated set with strong gift packaging can command a 15–25% premium. This calculator is a planning tool — test your price point with real buyers before committing to large production runs.
