The Problem

You know the spreadsheet.

The one with the birthdays in it. The reminder that fires after the anniversary passed. The 4 p.m. scramble when someone's father dies and the team wants to send something today that does not look like it was bought at 4 p.m.

Companies have systems for payroll, recruiting, and customer data. Appreciation, the thing that actually keeps people, still runs on memory and good intentions.

It is not a gifting problem. It is a systems problem.

340 hours
per year

That is what managing employee and client gifting by hand costs a 200-person company. Roughly 450 occasions, 45 minutes each. More than eight full work weeks, hiding inside someone's real job.

How It Works

Recognition becomes infrastructure.

A managed program, not software your team operates. We run the calendar, curate the gifts, print the cards, and ship everything from our own facility. The right gift reaches the right person at the right moment, every time.

1

We build your gifting calendar

Employee and client milestones, key dates, and standing occasions, mapped in one 45-minute planning session.

2

You approve the gifts

A curated selection for each occasion, matched to your people and your budget, refreshed seasonally.

3

We handle every send

Assembly, personalized cards, multi-address shipping, and delivery tracking from Edina, Minnesota.

4

You hear about it from your people

The thank-you messages come to you. The logistics never do.

The Gifts

Better gifts. Less waste.

40%

of traditional corporate gifts go unused, unwanted, or discarded.

Curated collections. Fewer, better options from 250+ small American makers.

Recipient choice. Gift of Choice lets people pick what fits their life.

Premium presentation. Beautiful boxes and personalized cards, every send.

So gifts get appreciated instead of discarded.

Why A Program

Why companies move to a program model.

Most organizations do not miss recognition because they do not care. They miss it because it relies on memory, spreadsheets, inboxes, and already-busy employees. A lifecycle gifting program creates a repeatable system for employee milestones, client appreciation, referrals, sympathy, and service recovery, without adding work to your team.

Milestones run on a calendar, not on memory.

Fit

Who this is for.

BEST FIT

  • 50 to 500+ employees
  • HR and People Operations teams
  • Executive Assistants who own gifting
  • Customer Experience and Client Success teams
  • Organizations with recurring recognition moments

NOT IDEAL

  • One-time holiday gifting only
  • Promotional swag programs
  • Low-volume gifting needs

If the second list sounds like the need, we will say so on the first call, and our corporate gifting projects may be the better fit.

What Teams Are Saying

Real reviews from corporate buyers.

“Even as the one who placed the order, I was blown away on the delivery date. Our gifts were talked about for months after.”

“Giften made corporate gifting unbelievably easy. We sent over 500 branded gift boxes to clients across the country, and every one arrived perfectly packed and on time.”

Lisa K., Marketing Director

“I was concerned about the stress of it all, and the process has been nothing but enjoyable. Exceptional working with their team.”

Stefanie, Operations Lead
FAQ

Frequently asked.

Is this software we have to manage?
No. There is no platform for your team to learn. We run the program; you approve the calendar and the gifts.
How is this different from gifting platforms?
Platforms give you a tool and a marketplace, and your team still builds and manages every send. Giften is a managed program. The work moves to us.
What does a program cost?
Programs typically begin at $25,000 per year, set by your headcount, occasions, and tier. The conversation starts with your calendar, not a price list.
Can gifts include our branding?
Yes, tastefully. Branded notecards and inserts on every program, with select custom options depending on volume and timeline.
How do as-needed gifts work, like sympathy or service recovery?
A one-line email from your team triggers the send. The gift, card, and shipping are handled the same day wherever possible, with the collection you already approved.
Do you ship to home addresses?
Routinely. Multi-recipient shipping to dozens or hundreds of addresses is standard for us, and Gift of Choice can collect recipient addresses for you.
Does this work with gift-value policies in regulated industries?
Yes. Per-gift values are fixed by tier, every send is documented, and recipients receive consistent values, which is exactly what a gift policy wants to see.
What if we only need holiday gifting?
We do that too, and many program clients started exactly there. Holiday projects book in summer; programs make the rest of the year automatic. See our corporate gifting page.
