Behind the Box: What Actually Goes Into Custom Gifting

When people think of corporate gifting, they often picture the final product: a polished gift box with a branded ribbon, a thank you note, and neatly arranged items inside.

But what they don’t always see is what happens before the box gets tied with a bow.

At Kentucky Curated Co., the process behind every gift is equal parts logistics and love.

Step 1: Sourcing Kentucky-Made Products

We start by finding the perfect items from small businesses across the state, from bourbon barrel-aged coffee to handcrafted leather coasters. We look for quality, story and alignment with your brand values.

Step 2: Branded Elements

From laser-etched glassware to custom candle labels, we weave your logo and brand identity into the gift in subtle, elevated ways so it feels intentional, not overdone.

Step 3: Personal Details

Every gift includes a handwritten note. Not a printed insert. Not a generic message. A real, human, pen-to-paper moment that adds warmth to the experience.

Step 4: Fulfillment & Presentation

Whether it’s five boxes or five hundred, we handle everything: packaging, assembly, quality checks, and delivery logistics so our clients don’t have to lift a finger.

The result? A gift that feels effortless to send, but unforgettable to receive.

Final Thought

Behind every Kentucky Curated gift is a team of small business owners, artists, farmers and craftspeople—plus a whole lot of planning and care.

When you want to make a statement without adding more to your plate, that’s where we come in.

Let’s give gifts that feel like more than a formality.
