CASE STUDIES
EMPLOYEE WELLBEING: DWD GREAT OUTDOORS GIFT
A gift was required toΒ replace the shared experience of the annual walking and spa tripΒ 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.Β 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 Businessβs 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 companyβs 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.
MEET EMILY, FOUNDER OF GILDED BEE
βI started Gilded Bee because I believed gifting should be more meaningful.
Too often, corporate gifts are generic, forgettable and disconnected from the people receiving them.
Today, we help organisations create thoughtful gifting experiences that strengthen relationships, celebrate achievements and leave a lasting impression.
Every project is approached with creativity, care and a focus on delivering genuine value for both the sender and recipient.β
"They LOOOOOOOVED them - like absolutely EVERYONE raved about them."

"Working with Gilded Bee was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The attention to detail was brilliant and when the client says things like 'fantastic' and 'an absolute roaring success' you know you made the right decision."
Tracy Phillips, Dellar Davies
"We were delighted with the final result, a smart, elegant and thoughtful gift for our clients, which were very well received."
Ocado
"If you're looking for a premium gift experience, Gilded Bee are great. They 'get' premium gifting (+ packaging) and communications were smooth and easy. Can recommend."
"The response we got from all of those clients was incredible. We received responses such as βexquisiteβ, βthoughtfulβ and βbeautifully presentedβ. The exercise generated so much goodwill amongst our clients"
