Holidays It’s no secret that the giving season is all about pretty packages and spreading joy. The holidays are an ideal time to acknowledge your colleagues, give thanks for your friends and family, and share your appreciation for customers with the perfect gift. Why not send a curated box of cheer that inspires that “Christmas morning” excitement, gives a fun “dreidel” spin to your gifting, and lights up your recipient’s doorstep like a Kwanzaa kinara? Any occasion warrants a thoughtfully curated box to reach your target audience.

Whether your event is in-person or virtual, there are ways to augment the traditional sponsorship opportunities of the past. For example, mid-morning and late afternoon snack breaks are a staple of in-person events, necessary to keep participants happy and attentive. By sending a designed snack box to attendees beforehand, the attendees can take a stretch break and reach for an assortment of delicious snacks with supporting materials that tell the sponsor’s brand story. For in-person or site-specific events, you can even spread regional love by selecting products that show the local flavor — for example, this Chicago box shows off some Windy City favorites and this Austin-themed box brings Texas BBQ to your backyard!
