GIFTING WITH CHOICE
How we make it happen
Finding the right gift doesn’t mean giving the same item to everyone. By offering them a choice, you ensure everyone receives something they will love, frequently use, and remember who gave it to them. The best gifts make people feel included, valued, and appreciated as individuals.
When you gift with choice, your investment in gifting goes further and generates a Return On Appreciation™ that everyone benefits from.
OLUKAI COLLECTION
Strut-worthy sandal styles
OluKai sandals deliver appreciation your recipients will feel in their soles. Offering a blend of luxury, comfort, and sustainability, an OluKai gift experience will put a spring in their step and align with any company’s values.
PREVIEW THE COLLECTION
Gifts for every touchpoint
What you give is a reflection of you and your company. Whether you send gifts with your event announcement, surprise them with a room drop, or send them home with a bonus touch, we’ll help you raise your gifting game to so it always reflects well on your company.

TICKET PROGRAM
The more, the merrier
What’s better than inviting people to select one gift of their choice? Inviting them to select multiple gifts across a variety of ticket values! People get a set number of tickets to spend however they’d like. They can use multiple tickets to select a few gifts. Or, they can select one gift equating to the same value. Either way, the choice is theirs.
EXPERT ADVICE
When to buy & the benefits of planning ahead
To make the most of your gift program, timing is crucial. Why plan early? Here’s our take:
The earlier you book, the better the chance you’ll be able to get the brands, products, and styles you want.
Maximize your budget, avoid rush shipping charges, and take advantage of/ have access to our top programs that bring you significant savings.
We know budgets and headcount change; the sooner a program is in the works, the better we can anticipate your evolving needs.
Start planning your events and conference gifting strategy at least 2-3 months ahead. Need a rush order? Had the best intentions but found yourself up against the wire?
We can deliver on-site programs in as little as 10 days!
Partnering with Cultivate
From engaging, inspiring, and planning activities that accommodate the entire group, there are many elements that take your full attention to execute during an event. With so much to consider, it’s easy for gifts to be overlooked by opting for generic onegift-fits-all or company- branded swag. As the Gifting Experts, we know these shortcuts leave far too much opportunity on the table (or in the trash, with 1.3 million tons of unwanted gifts and promotional products ending up in landfills yearly.)
Instead of letting gift planning be a daunting task, partner with Cultivate! Your dedicated Gifting Expert does far more than get signatures on the bottom lines, they are your trusted partner in making your gift program go off without a hitch. Their industry knowledge and years of experience give them real-life data on what gifts people love and the best way to present them to maximize impact.
Whether you want a hands-off approach that still wows people (while you get all the credit!) or you have an idea in your head and need help executing it, we are real people helping you every step of the way — no AI chatbots or algorithms necessary. We are your behind-the- scenes gifting gurus who will help make your event unforgettable.

Our in-house sourcing experts select every product in our collections, removing the guesswork for you.

It’s this dedication to thoughtful curation that allows us to help you build stronger relationships and create moments of genuine appreciation.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What do you mean by turnkey service?
A: We handle the details, so you don’t have to — from securing inventory and delivering impressive displays to On-site Staff, logistics, distribution, and beyond.
Q: Where are your staff from?
A: No matter where you are, our experts are close by! Staff are strategically positioned in domestic and international event hot spots to keep costs to a minimum.
Q: How many programs do you do a year?
A: Our Gifting Experts keep busy year-round! On average, we deliver 600+ programs per year and appreciate over 135,000 people annually.
Q: What's the newest or most popular on-site experience?
A:
Our program types are ever-evolving to fit your needs and goals. One of the newest and most popular programs is our Sneaker Studio, the On-Site Dual-Brand Design Experience with Diverge and Nike By You. Your recipients get to choose a style and design their own unique pair of custom sneakers on-site, and then we deliver them after the event ends.
Q: Will there be a line?
A:Event Coordinators work with clients to understand what the event and gifting flow will look like on-site. With that information, we make sure to staff appropriately. Our Gifting Experts create a 1:1 experience with each person to make it feel like a rewarding experience. This can cause lines, but we move through people as quickly as possible without sacrificing the experience. Plus, a small line can help generate buzz and excitement!
Q: How much extra inventory do you bring? What happens when you run out of something on-site?
A:
40% is the standard we use as a starting point, but in a lot of cases, it fluctuates based on the need and the team's judgement based on the program specs.
What happens when we run out is a bit tricky - there are some categories where we can send the guests a code if they cannot find something on-site that works for them, although we cannot guarantee that the exact same styles be available. For other categories, our team on-site does their best to steer them to one of the other available options. When clients ask this, we really lean into the fact that because we send in multiple styles and overage, we are almost always able to get their guests something on-site while still offering a choice. We are technically also able to offer them a code to our Online Collection of the same value (explaining that different categories of gifts would be available).
Q: What if it rains?
A: In the event of weather, the dedicated Event Coordinator and Lead Gifting Expert on-site will work with the client to find an indoor location for gifting. Once the new location is determined, our on-site team of Gifting Experts will handle moving/getting everything set up in the new location.
Q: Do you offer gift bags?
A: Yes! Bags are provided for all On-site Gifting programs.
Q: Can the gifts be branded?
A: There are specific Pre-event and Room-drop gifting options that can be branded. In addition, branded accessories like shoe bags and sunglass cloths are customizable, affordable add-ons that complement our Collections and reinforce your appreciation.
Q: Can you deliver On-site Gifting programs internationally? What are the estimated costs for taxes, duties, shipping, etc., to do so?
A: Yes! Our Gifting Experts are able to meet you almost anywhere in the world. Logistics, including taxes, duties, and shipping costs, are dependent on the program. To receive an accurate estimate, connect with a Gifting Expert.
