Cheers Actor Now Heads Pet Subscription Box Companies


For 11 seasons John Ratzenberger delivered laughs as mailman Cliff Claven on the iconic TV series Cheers. Now the actor is delivering happiness to both people and pets through a recently launched subscription box company.

Giving our pals with paws a reason to anxiously await the arrival of their neighborhood postman, The GiftBox.com offers two monthly postal presents for our pals with paws– the original Pet Giftbox and PawPack:

Available for both pups and those who purr, the Pet Giftbox features toys, treats, chews and fun accessories. Past theme boxes for dogs have included a Memorial Day Boot Camp box stocked with a military fatigue bandana, a new recruit crinkle toy, a camp knotted ball and more; and an NFL Party pack complete with a football toy and a bottle of doggie “beer.”

The PawPack includes hand-selected, all natural treats and chews for the canine connoisseur, as well as treats in the form of toys and unique accessories.

As well as providing joy to the members of our fur family, TheGiftBox.com is also giving the present of a better future for shelter dogs, as customers can choose Pets for Patriots, a non-profit which partners dogs in need of a forever home with veterans in need, as the charity which will receive a portion of the proceeds from their monthly subscription. Subscribers also have the option of choosing another of The Gift Box’s philanthropic partners to benefit from their purchase– Family Reach, which offers financial assistance to families with children who are fighting cancer, and Music Drives Us, which provides musical instruments and classes to all segments of society.

Speaking about the new endeavor, David Polinsky, the co-founder and chairman of The Gift Box stated, “We have made our first acquisition in the pet industry with the purchase of PawPack.com and have launched our newest internally developed box with the launch of SweetsGiftBox.com. We wanted to create an online platform where customers didn’t have to search the internet looking for just the right gift box or have to subscribe to multiple boxes on different sites. We’ve created a business model that will continue to expand into hundreds of categories, making it easy, fast and convenient to give or get truly unique, fun and affordable gift boxes– all available on one site at TheGiftBox.com.”
