Corporate gifts – with extra meaning

Corporate gifts conjure up images of a branded pen, desk calendar or umbrella – all well and good in the right circumstances… But, if you want your colleagues or clients to feel truly appreciated then you need to offer something a bit more meaningful.

Whether it is a thank you to a hard working team, a starter pack for new employees or a new year gift to a valued customer we have personalised gifts that will stay in their memories for the right reasons.

Check out some of the options below and scroll to the bottom of the page to see some examples of our recent work.

No minimum order
Because we can personalise them you can order one, or one hundred – or any volumes in between! The world is your oyster! We can send parcels out individually – direct to their door – or to you to distribute when needed.

Especially for you
Each brief we undertake is designed for you, we have a series of items we can personalise – listed below – and you can add to these if you wish, or ask us and we’ll help source items if we can (we’re always up for a challenge or trying something new!).

This stretches to producing branded boxes that contain cards – these could be self care tips (great if you are working from home), your company values, achievements or goals – a great way to get all your team on board and feel appreciated.

Dual branding
We can also add your logo to our existing boxes. Whether it’s self care, a retirement gift (popular with financial planners) or a date box we can add your corporate colours and branding to the lid. Inside you can use our existing content or change the cards to suit (there is an extra cost if the cards are to be inserted and sealed in envelopes).

Items we can offer include:

  • Acrylic blocks
    15cm x 10cm x 2cm deep, perfect for awards or recognition plaques. Freestanding, can be printed with a full white/colour background if preferred. Personalised and supplied in a black gift box.
  • Personalised Inspiration Boxes
    Black or kraft box printed full colour to the top with logo and name (if appropriate). Filled with 24 x A6 postcards to meet your design.

Customer testimonial, from Jodie Hill, Thrive Law:
“I wanted to get something personal for everyone that reminded them how good the year had been despite the pandemic. Everyone had done so well and I wanted to celebrate the wins we had as a team and for each staff personally.

So I create the bespoke box for each person and personalised bottles, hand sanitisers, face masks, note books and a coaster for their home working space with chocolates and other goodies. My favourite part was creating the year of dates box…

Reflecting on everything we had achieved was the most enjoyable part of putting this together and then each person had golden cards with personal feedback from colleague and clients.

To top it off we had surprise award ceremony with awards for the team to celebrate each and every person’s individual contribution.

I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of Kate and her team. The process was seamless and personal. She even personally delivered them!

Thank you so much the team were blown away”
