CASE STUDIES
EMPLOYEE WELLBEING: DWD GREAT OUTDOORS GIFT
A gift was required to replace the shared experience of the annual walking and spa trip the team would usually take. We sourced and supplied a premium gift hamper which included a range of items to encourage recipients to get outside and take some time for themselves with treats to enjoy once home. The pieces where possible, were British sourced and made.
EVENT ENGAGEMENT: CHRISTMAS INCENTIVE TRIP TEASER CAMPAIGN
Crown BC tasked us with creating a premium ceramic Christmas bauble for Virgin Media Business’s incentive trip to Finland. With a tight two-week deadline, we designed a white bone china bauble featuring a hand-drawn reindeer, event branding on the reverse, and a 24ct gold top with red grosgrain ribbon. The baubles were wrapped in black tissue and placed in a natural kraft box to reflect the Nordic theme. The client and recipient feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the design and quality.
CLIENT APPRECIATION: WILLS & TRUST CHRISTMAS GIFT
Gilded Bee was asked to create personal yet professional Christmas gifts for Wills & Trusts' family clients. The gifts needed to embody the company’s family values without corporate branding.
We designed a bespoke baking set featuring a personalised recipe book with favourites from the Wills & Trusts team, complete with custom illustrations. The set included a bread bag and dough scraper, all elegantly wrapped in black and gold. Each gift was finished with a gold ribbon and a custom gift card.

Yes, certainly! You have the option to brand your gifts. When ordering individual gifts, we provide branded labels and handwritten gift cards. For higher volume and value gifts, we offer a fully customisable and branded option. It's worth noting that our approach to branding differs from many corporate gifting suppliers. We believe in the principle of"less is more" and advise against overly saturating your gifts with branding. We understand that excessive branding can detract from the sentiment of the gift.
