Corporate gifting carries a long tail of small decisions. How many, who's on the list, what goes in the box, where it all ships, whether anything needs a name on it. Every one of those gets harder the closer you get to the holidays. Sorting it now means the gifts are ready when you need them and avoids the last-minute holiday panic.
Here's how we'd approach it.
Artisan Food Holds Up Well as a Corporate Gift
A gift that gets used gets remembered.
Everything we make comes out of our Louisville facility and starts with bourbon barrels and Kentucky ingredients. That gives a corporate gift two things that are hard to buy: a sense of place, and a flavor most recipients haven't had before. Somebody who opens a bottle of Bluegrass Soy Sauce is going to cook with it, and think about where it came from every time they reach for it. That's a longer runway than most gifts get.
It also solves the taste problem. You don't have to know what your client collects or what size they wear. Most people cook, and everybody eats.
Start With a Number and a Date
Before you look at a single box, pin down three things: how many gifts, roughly what you want to spend per person, and the date they need to arrive.
That last one matters more than people expect. Shipping times move with quantity, and a hundred boxes going to a hundred addresses is a different job than ten going to one office. Our corporate gifting process runs in order: schedule a call with our gift specialist, set a timeline, select the gifts, sort shipping or pickup, then fulfillment. Starting in October gives you room to breathe.
For the Client You Want to Keep
When the gift is going to somebody whose business you'd like to hold onto, send something with range.
The Smoke and Flavor Gift Box pulls together our barbecue sauce, Kentuckyaki, and a run of smoked blends, covering the grill and the kitchen at once. The Grill Lovers Gift Box leans harder that direction, with Bourbon Smoked Chef's Blend, Chili & Coffee Rub, Togarashi, and Smoked Sugar alongside our Bourbon Barrel Aged Worcestershire and Henry Bain's Famous Sauce.
For the client who'd rather taste something they can't find elsewhere, the Barrel Aged Soy Sauce Full Line Gift Box puts all four of our soy sauces side by side. It's the closest thing we have to handing somebody the story of the company in a box.
For a Team, at Any Size
Team gifting has a different problem. You need something everyone will like, and you need a lot of it.
Everybody has a spice drawer. The Bourbon Smoked Spice 3-Pack is our steady answer. Sea salt, pepper, and paprika, smoked low and slow over staves that spent at least four years soaking up Kentucky bourbon.
The Bourbon Smoked Spices Miniature Trial Set provides some extra variety, with six blends in mini tins so people can find a favorite. If your group leans toward mornings, the Brunch Collection covers barrel aged maple syrup, pancake mix, biscuit mix, and black raspberry jam. And for the sweet-leaning crowd, the Kentucky Crafted Curry and Cocoa Holiday Box pairs curry peanuts and smoked curry with bourbon smoked cacao chocolate and caramel sauce.
When You Want It Built From Scratch
If none of the standard boxes fit, we'll build one.
Pick two to five items from our lineup, or bring in partner brands like Woodford Reserve® and Old Forester®, and our team works with you on packaging and presentation. Every box is packed by hand. That's the piece that most wants lead time, so it's worth raising early in the conversation if that’s the direction you’re going.
Shipping to a List
One of the more common headaches in corporate gift giving.
Our checkout handles multiple shipping addresses, so the whole list goes out in one order instead of thirty. Local orders can be picked up at our Story Avenue facility if you'd rather hand them out yourself.
