I want to share a story about corporate gifting that stuck with us. A procurement manager called us last October. His exact words - We want gifts that don't end up in the bin by November 5th. We sent samples. He ordered 200 hampers handcrafted banana fiber bags, cork wallets, packaged without a single piece of plastic. Three months later he called again.
Not to reorder. Just to tell us that two employees had separately messaged him asking where the bag came from because they were still using it daily. That's the bar we're trying to hit with every order. Not a gift that gets appreciated once. One that sticks around.

If anyone's responsible for corporate gifting at their company and is thinking about Diwali early we do bulk orders from 50 units. Happy to share details if useful.
And if you have stories about gifting that actually landed well would love to hear them.
