The proof is in the unboxing.
Real projects. Real brands. Really good gifts.
We could tell you we create elevated, fully custom gifting experiences that make people feel something. But honestly, the work says it better than we ever could. Browse our case studies – from large-scale holiday sends and influencer mailers to onboarding kits and executive gifting – and see exactly what’s possible when gifting is done right.
HOW WE WORK
This is what we’ve been up to.
Every project in our portfolio started with a brief, a brand, and a goal. Some were large-scale holiday sends for household names. Some were wellness kits for growing teams. Some were influencer mailers built to break the internet. All of them were handled completely – from first concept to last doorstep delivery.

LUXURY & FULLY BRANDED
Wall Street Journal
The Goal
First-class event gifts that made a virtual event feel like a luxury red carpet moment.
The Gift
Elegance that catches every eye and makes a statement — all-black matte meeting metallic detail, the art of the luxury gift box fully finessed. Each element of the WSJ Innovator Awards box was branded head to toe: white-labeled popcorn and candy bars in WSJ’s signature font, the Innovators issue of WSJ Magazine, an event program, and a branded tee — all enclosed in a high-gloss black keepsake box with magnetic closure and a black foil logo sleeve. A true class act.
The Outcome
Virtual attendees still felt like part of something elegant, despite the remote setting. These were some of the most luxe boxes recipients had ever seen — the red carpet, delivered to their door.
CLIENT APPRECIATION
Gong
The Goal
Client appreciation for the people who showed up as volunteers and deserved more than a generic thanks.
The Gift
A “Thanks a Latte” coffee-themed send that leaned into the pun fun and then delivered on it — small-batch Sight Glass coffee beans, Willa’s shortbread cookies, a sleek travel mug, a notebook, and a pen. Simple, cohesive, and genuinely delightful from the get-go.
The Outcome
A thank-you that actually felt like one. Specific enough to make recipients smile, polished enough to reflect well on the brand — and proof that a tight theme executed beautifully beats a random assortment every single time.
WELLNESS THEMED
Smart Health
The Goal
A gift built around the four pillars of client health — physical, emotional, social, and financial.
The Gift
A self-care box curated product by product to highlight each pillar, custom color-matched to connect every detail back to the brand, finished with a personal note on wellness.
The Outcome
SmartHealth got the elevated, on-brand polish they wanted. Recipients got something that felt like genuine self-care, not a promotional item. That’s exactly the balance SmartHealth is always after, and it’s a big reason they keep coming back.
ONGOING GIFTING PROGRAM
Veterans United
The Goal
A library of ready-to-send gifts for one of life’s biggest milestones — closing on a home. Veterans United knows their clients well enough to know exactly which gift fits, the moment a deal closes.
The Gift
A full lineup of premade, on-demand “new home” gifts built around real-life households — family game night kits, welcome-home essentials for the kitchen, baby gifts, gifts for older kids, even options for the family dog or cat, plus grilling gifts for the new backyard. Every option ready to go the moment a client’s keys are in hand.
The Outcome
A gifting library that turns “congrats on your new home” into something that actually feels personal — without Veterans United having to build a single gift from scratch, every time. Just pick, send, and let the celebration begin.
THEMED & BRANDED
Vail Resorts
The Goal
Holiday gifts that felt like Vail Resorts — mountain adventure, not mistletoe. Festive without leaning into typical holiday clichés.
The Gift
A lineup of high-end, branded adventure gear and essentials — practical enough for the slopes, polished enough to feel like a genuine celebration. Custom branded packaging tied every option back to the Vail Resorts look and feel.
The Outcome
Gifts that felt warm, premium, and unmistakably on-brand. Proof that holiday gifting doesn’t have to mean red and green to feel like a celebration.
