You Did Derby Gifting Wrong This Year, Let’s Fix It for 2026

You flew in your best clients.
You secured the box seats.
You poured the bourbon and planned the perfect Derby weekend.

And then… you handed them a gift box filled with mass-produced items that could’ve come from any event, in any city, with your logo slapped across each one like an afterthought.

We see it every year. Companies spend thousands creating memorable experiences—only to hand out forgettable gifts.

Now imagine this instead:

Your out-of-town guests arrive to a beautifully wrapped gift box sitting at their seats. Your company’s branding is subtle, elegant—woven into custom wrapping paper.

Inside is something that stops them in their tracks:

• A handcrafted mint julep cup, laser engraved with your company name and the 2025 Derby date

• Locally made bourbon barrel-aged honey

• Engraved leather coasters with your logo, made by a Kentucky artisan

• A forged horseshoe bottle opener—equal parts charm and craftsmanship

These are not one-time-use promo items. They’re gifts with weight. Gifts they’ll take home, use again, and remember. Every time they pour a drink into that julep cup, or pop open a bottle, they’ll remember the incredible experience your brand gave them in Kentucky.

That’s the difference between checking a box—and curating something that makes an impression.

Why It Matters

Corporate gifting isn’t just about the items in the box. It’s about how those items make someone feel. It’s about connection. Memory. Brand alignment.

Kentucky Derby weekend is already full of tradition, storytelling and legacy.
Your gifts should be too.
