    For Pineapple Productions, a pineapple-themed gift was a no-brainer! We not only found the most on-brand products but also chose them strategically — something the client could enjoy right away (the delicious Sugarfina gummies), something they would actually use (the custom logo candle by NEST New York and custom matchbox) and something the client could keep forever (the branded tumbler). There's nothing quite as sweet as pineapples mixed with strategy!

    When it comes to event gifts, understanding your customer is key. Think about your recipients and how you can get them excited for the event. Take Lessonly, for example. After their annual Yellowship conference went virtual, they came to us for curated corporate gift boxes to send invitees to connect with customers and help boost attendance. For Lessonly, this meant designing a gift around coffee so attendees could enjoy a cup while at the conference. Talk about creating a buzz! 

    The gifts included a tastefully branded mug, the most delicious coffee from Tinker Coffee Co. (a local Indianapolis coffee roaster) and fun stickers featuring the Lessonly llama. Packed to perfection, this gift came wrapped in a branded gift box sleeve with a custom design we made just for the event!

    Best of all? The custom event gift basket did exactly what Lessonly hoped it would do: Attendance was through the roof, with more than 1,000 people joining virtually!

Sending creative custom event gift baskets is a great way to maintain connections with prospects after the conference. Make it extra thoughtful by including items from local businesses where the conference took place.

    Take it from Paycor — that's exactly what they did after the 2022 SHRM conference in New Orleans! What better way to stay top of mind with potential new customers than by following up with a thoughtful corporate gift box inspired by the French Quarter's bold flavors?! ⚜️

    Best Corporate Gifts 2023: Experience Gift Ideas

    Sometimes, the most unforgettable thing you can give isn’t a physical gift at all, but an experience. That’s especially the case if you don’t know which products to choose or your recipients already have it all. 


    On the other hand, experience gifts can help your team bond, create conversation and break the routine. Here are some unique corporate gifting experiences to consider.

We crafted a juggling-themed gift that included a branded card insert with a thoughtful message from the CEO and a QR code that linked to a video of him learning how to … juggle!
