A well-known lifestyle brand looking to make a special impact during the holiday season by offering its employees gifts that would be both personal and useful for the holidays. They wanted gifts that employees could use during the holiday season, enjoy with their families, and cherish for years to come. The goal was to design something beyond the usual corporate gifts, something that would resonate with their employees.

The company needed a holiday gift kit that was:

• Holiday-themed: Bright, exciting, and festive
  
• Functional: Something employees could use with their families during the season
  
• Unique: A gift that wasn’t the typical corporate giveaway
  
• Discreet branding: The company wanted the logo to be subtle so that the gift felt personal rather than purely corporate
  

They came to GiftAFeeling to find a solution that would make a lasting impression on their employees, while still remaining within the bounds of corporate gifting norms.

TSSL (The Shared Secrets Lab) recommended a combination of practical, lifestyle-driven items that employees could enjoy with their families during the holidays. These items needed to be functional, exciting, and subtly branded to maintain the holiday spirit.

GiftAFeeling curated 75 holiday gift kits for the employees, each containing:

• Rechargeable milk frother: For enjoying hot coffee, chocolate milk, or festive drinks over the holidays
  
• Custom tumbler: To carry their drinks on-the-go during the season
  
• Recipe book: Filled with fun and festive ideas for the holidays, encouraging employees to get creative in the kitchen
  

The kit design balanced festive cheer with a touch of elegance, so each item carried holiday-themed prints on one side and the company logo on the other, subtly placed to keep the corporate branding low-key.

The kits were shipped directly to employees across Canada and the US, and everything was completed within 3 weeks, from design to delivery.

The response from employees was immediate and warm. People weren't just pleased, they were touched. The kits arrived in homes, not offices, which meant families experienced them together. The frother made it onto kitchen counters. The tumbler made it into morning routines. The recipe book made it onto shelves.

For a lifestyle brand, the message landed perfectly: we live the values we sell.

The culture win was undeniable, employees felt genuinely seen, not just ticked off a HR checklist. And the client felt it too. What started as a one-off order became something more. The holiday gifting programme is now a recurring fixture in their employee experience calendar, with GiftAFeeling retained to deliver it year after year.
