And we're digging a bit deeper to share with you the behind-the-scenes details on how these holiday business gifts came together.

Elevated, Thoughtful and Unique

Our goal with for their holiday business gifts this year was to deliver an elevated and thoughtful holiday gift that followed their brand aesthetic, and incorporated special and useful contents for recipients to enjoy, but was completely different from holiday gift designs we've done in the past.

For this year's gift, we wanted to deliver a heart warming and interactive gift set that their clients could open up and use right away during the holidays, and reuse again and again throughout the year. With the company’s core values in mind, it was also important to source gift items to represent local businesses, minority owned and small businesses from cities the client's offices are located.

Let’s see the inside details of the gorgeous and unique business holiday gift sets with a charcuterie board theme! 

Branded Yet Interactive

To deliver on the company's holiday gifting goals, we started with an on-brand luxurious blue keepsake gift box finished with a signature gold satin ribbon tied in bow and a gift tag with the client's business logo. 

This client wanted to create a connection with their best clients through their holiday gifts this year and impress recipients with a thoughtful and intentional gift that stood out from the crowd during the holidays. We created an memorable gift and an experience with a charcuterie board gift set.

This gift theme was elevated and sophisticated, and also provided an interactive experience that gift recipients could enjoy and reuse over and over again.

Core Value Inspired Design

Inside each custom holiday gift set was array of useful gift items sourced from small and women owned businesses local to the client's offices. We pulled together the perfect mix of salty and sweet gourmet foods they can't shop anywhere else, as well as a high-end kitchen tools to bring their charcuterie board theme gifts to life. 

We started with an acacia wood cutting board from a small women owned business based in San Diego paired with a high quality matte gold stainless steel cheese or jam spreader. We included a bottle of 100% organic Greek extra virgin olive oil from a local Baltimore-based small businesses that was founded by Peruvian natives who focus on modern ingredients that are ethically sourced.

For a savory snack - which is a requirement for any self-respecting charcuterie board - we included a handmade power berry nut mix from a Washington, D.C. area company that is a woman and black-owned small business. We included an all-natural artisan salami that was sourced from a Seattle-based women and Latino owned business. To pair with the salami, we included olive oil and sea salt dipping crackers that are handmade from an Atlanta-based women owned small business. 

To provide contrast on their charcuterie boards, we included a variety of sweet treats, and dried orange slices to add an additional pop of color. We included an organic assorted chocolate truffles made from a San Francisco-based Asian American and women owned business. We also added a sustainably grown blueberry preserve made from a Los Angeles-based business that is women and AAPI owned.

The branded gift notecards inside each holiday gift were the perfect opportunity for the company to express their gratitude, wish everyone a ‘Happy Holidays,’ and take the time to explain the women owned and small businesses behind the gift items incorporated in their curated charcuterie board holiday gift pack.
