Corporate Gifts

Welcome to our Corporate Gift Department

 For 25 years, we have been creating imaginative corporate gifts, business gifts, and diplomatic gifts. Our clients have ranged from the President of the United States, to royalty, to leaders from the diplomatic and corporate world. We strive to create thoughtful and appropriate gifts, beautifully giftwrapped, on time and on budget.

Why Gift?

The corporate gift is a tremendous opportunity to communicate with your partners and clients. The gift can "say" we appreciate the business, we respect you, we look forward to developing the relationship. The same goes for diplomatic gifts as well.

The corporate gift is also an opportunity to "say" something about yourself: We are thoughtful, we are considerate, imaginative, respectful. We are people of good judgment.

The corporate gift is a very important aspect in every culture, from Asia to the Americas to the Middle East. Why is that? We believe it has to do with the building of trust and relationships. In countries that do not, historically, have robust legal systems, where contracts and property laws are unreliable, trust rules.

How does one evaluate trust and respect? By reputation, by research, and by what you observe of the other party. It is in this realm that the gift plays an unexpected role. For it gives one an opportunity to observe personal behavior and choices. Is this person generous or cheap, thoughtful or disinterested? Did they arrive in their corporate jet, stay at the best hotel, eat at the finest restaurants, and then give as their gift a corporate promotional item?

In understanding this, it is exciting to discover that there is a golden opportunity to create positive impressions and build trust by just simply paying attention and not spending a lot of money!

We are here to help you get this right, help you enjoy it and help you reap the benefit!

We believe in thoughtful, personalized and on-budget gifting.

This includes:

• - Executive Gifts that are presented to heads of companies or heads of state. 
• - Cultural Corporate Gifts that are taken abroad and given as a sign of respect and acknowledgement of that company's culture
• - Business Gifts that are given as a token of appreciation to one's clientelle or employees - from $10 dollars and up!
• - Anniversary Gifts that mirror the many years of hard work and success - (i.e. something truly special and affordable without a promotional feel)
• - Diplomatic Gifts that bridge the cultures and friendships between the gifter and the side receiving the gift
• - Event Gifts for events that reflect and enhance the importance of the occasion

The Process

We look to engage you in a conversation about your company, looking to find key elements that we might incorporate into the suggestion. We then research the gift recipient looking for further clues. We ask about the event or meeting setting and think about what you want the gift to "say." For at the heart of the process, the best gift is a vehicle for non-verbal communication. Once the budget is set for the gift , we can focus on what materials we can use (sterling silver, leather, etc) and what satisfies all aspects.

Lead times are important. We can never be late! So the tighter the deadline, the options are determined by which of our suppliers can respond accordingly. We always look to recommend "appropriate" solutions, taking into account cultural, political and legislative considerations. This rational, researched and logical approach has served us and our clients well. We look forward to working with you!
