Custom Gifting

Some gifts call for something beyond what's already on the shelf. A branded activation for two hundred conference attendees. Welcome bags for a wedding weekend. Holiday gifts for your clients, your team, or your whole family. A milestone gift for a leadership team that actually reflects your culture. A recurring program that needs to feel considered every single time.

Our custom process is a fully guided partnership, start to finish, whether you're planning a corporate program or a private celebration. We help you think through the details, source products that fit your style (or your brand) and your budget, and manage every part of production so you're never doing this alone.

Already know exactly what you want? Wonderful. Starting with a rough idea and a deadline? That works too. Either way, we start with a conversation.

How It Works

Step One, A Consulting Call. We start with a short call to learn about you or your company, your people, your budget, and the occasion. This brief conversation shapes everything that follows, so your proposal never feels generic.

Step Two, A Custom Proposal. From there, we build a proposal specific to your project: product recommendations, presentation options, and pricing based on your quantity and budget. You'll see exactly what we're proposing before anything is finalized.

Step Three, Review and Refine. Your feedback shapes the final version. Swap a product, adjust the packaging, revisit the price point, whatever needs to change. We refine until it feels right.

Step Four, Production. Once approved, we handle sourcing, custom notes, branded touches, and packing by hand in our Charlotte studio. Every detail executed seamlessly.

Step Five, Delivery. We coordinate local Charlotte delivery or nationwide shipping.

FAQ

Do you only work with businesses, or do you take on weddings and personal events too? Both. Most of our custom work is corporate, but we build the same guided process for weddings, holidays, showers, and other personal celebrations. If you have people to gift and an occasion to mark, we're glad to help.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before reaching out? Not at all. Many of our best projects start with a rough idea and a deadline. Part of the consulting call is helping you figure out what will work.

Is there a minimum for a custom project? There's no strict minimum. We happily build proposals for teams and orders of every size, always working within the budget you share with us. The one exception is a project that calls for us to source brand new products or vendors specifically for you. Those start at a $2,500 minimum, simply because building new sourcing relationships takes real time and care on our end. We're always glad to talk through what your project needs before anything is finalized.

How long does the process take, from first call to delivery? Most projects move from consulting call to delivery in six to eight weeks.

Can we brand the gifts with our company logo or colors? Yes. Custom gift tags, logo stickers, and other personal touches can all be built into your proposal.

What if we need this to be an ongoing or recurring program? We can absolutely set that up. Once we understand your cadence (quarterly client gifts, monthly new hire welcomes, and so on), we build a standing process so future orders move quickly.

What's the difference between this and your Ready to Ship gifts? Ready to Ship gifts are pre curated and ready to order right away, ideal for quick turnarounds. Custom projects are built from scratch around your style or brand, budget, and occasion, corporate or otherwise. Not sure which fits? Just reach out. We're happy to point you in the right direction.
