Corporate Gifting, Reimagined: How to Make Your Gifts Memorable (Not Generic)
What comes to mind when you hear “corporate gifting”?
For many, it’s a mass-produced item with a company logo slapped on it, something that gets tossed in a drawer or left on a desk.
At Kentucky Curated Co., we think it’s time to raise the bar. Because when gifts are meaningful, they do more than mark a moment, they create a lasting impression.
Here’s how we’re reimagining corporate gifting—one thoughtful, Kentucky-made box at a time.
Branded Tumblers Alone Don’t Cut It
Don’t get us wrong—we love a useful branded item. But if that’s all your gift includes, it’s missing an opportunity. Generic gifts can feel transactional.
Memorable gifts feel personal.
The goal isn’t just to put your name in front of someone, it’s to make them feel something. Appreciation. Celebration. Excitement. That’s what sticks.
Storytelling Through Product Selection
Every item in a Kentucky Curated box tells a story. The bourbon honey aged in real Kentucky barrels. The hand-poured candle that supports local animal shelters. The bourbon balls made with a legendary KY distillery’s recipe.
When you choose local, small-batch products with heart, you’re not just sending “stuff.” You’re sending something people talk about, post about and remember.
Building on Brand Tone, Milestones & Audience
Gifting should feel aligned with your company culture and your client or employee experience. We tailor each proposal to:
Match your brand voice (buttoned-up or playful? luxury or grassroots?)
Celebrate specific milestones like promotions, anniversaries, or major wins
Connect with your audience, whether that’s new hires, loyal clients or top performers
Want to include a product in your brand’s colorway? We’ve got options. Want the card to match your marketing tone? We write it just for you.
It’s the Little Things That Make It Big
From custom packaging to handwritten note cards, these “small” details are often the most memorable. Some of our favorites include:
Custom printed wrapping paper
A personalized message on the gift tag
Box inserts that explain the story behind the makers
These extras don’t just look great, they make your recipient feel seen and valued. And that’s the whole point.
Gifting That Leaves a Mark
Corporate gifting isn’t a box to check—it’s a chance to connect. Whether you’re onboarding a new employee or thanking a top client, your gift can reflect your brand’s values, personality, and care.
We’re proud to create gifts that are meaningful, locally sourced and unforgettable.
