Corporate Gifts

Acknowledging clients, customers and employees is an important component of building relationships through appreciation.

We approach each new client with an open mind. We listen to understand the purpose of the acknowledgement, the profile of the person(s) receiving the gift: age, gender, race, geographic region of the country and the business they are providing. We customize the gift to honor the profile. We explore expected outcomes, timeframe of delivery, budget, shipping and any other individualized needs such as personalized notes with each gift. We offer prototypes of suggested products and presentation and have the agility to adjust the gift to ensure that each gift reflects the corporate values.

We recently provided crates of product from Moxie Bread Company for a holiday gift of gratitude to each of their customers. See other corporate gifts we created around the holidays, below.

Moxie Bread Co. and E&J Designs enjoy a successful partnership that fuels the creative process! 

Moxie May Day Pop Up Faire:

Moxie Bread Co.

The gift crate shown here was created as a thank you gift for a real estate client. The rustic wood crate includes Posole Soup, Farmhouse Bread and Chocolate Chip Cookies…we have many different Moxie products to use in these gift crates!

We hand select each piece of wood from the sawmill on Highway 93 in Boulder County. We enjoy the rough edge cuts as it allows for a design unique to our presentation. Each board is cut in thirds and hand sanded. The corner support posts are meant to soften the crate to allow for multiple functions after the gift is used. 

Our bistro boards were created to accent the locally sourced charcuterie products from Moxie Bread Co. They can be repurposed for table trays, mini bars and other unique ways to present wine, cheese and bread, etc.
The gift crate was "presented so beautifully and the most creative gift she’s ever received.”

Kiosk

A local technology manufacturer with international customers.

As a returning client, we offered new branded gift crates handmade from wood from the local sawmill, a welded knife from students learning welding, and branded barn wood coasters with a holder.

Their customer base changes yearly. Knowing about their new customer base helps us identify the Moxie Bread Co products that reflect the profile of their customers.

The CEO personally customized crates of gifts for her leadership team to say ‘thank you’ for all they did during the journey through the pandemic.

Kiosk is a company with heart and a commitment to locally owned small businesses. We are thankful for their continued support of our ideas.

Curtis Hotel Window Displays

E&J Designs has been delighted to design and create window displays at the Curtis Hotel in downtown Denver. See additional pictures of Curtis Hotel window designs on the About E&J page.
"The Curtis Hotel worked with E&J Designs to procure items and design gift baskets for our client holiday gifts. They worked with Moxie Bread Company to exceed our expectations and vision for the project. E&J Designs was creative, thoughtful, collaborative and was able to be flexible to meet our budget and deliver the items on time at a busy time of year."

First Bank

Starting in August, we met with the local First Bank President to explore the profile of their customers and to share the new product ideas from Moxie Bread Co. to honor their customers.

Over the course of a month we were able to confirm the intent of the gift, the presentation, products and expected outcome. They were a terrific business to work with during 2020!

First Bank contacted me to create a unique gift to be given to a client at their mortgage closing. These rustic crates make a nice presentation of two wine glasses, opener and a bottle of wine.
"We appreciate Fran, Paula's and Andy's work with our holiday appreciation gifts! Their commitment towards supporting our local small businesses makes the gifts mean that much more to us and our customers."

We used E & J Designs for holiday gifts for our clients. Not only were Fran and Paula knowledgeable and helpful, but they were also a joy to work with and made the entire process so easy. The products they source are so unique and thoughtful, everyone who received one was thrilled. We are excited to work with them on upcoming projects.

Sum Up

A woman owned start-up business located in the region.

The owner contacted us late in the holiday season to ask for a quick turn around of 35 handmade crates. We appreciated the new client and worked creatively to deliver their crates on time!

We were thrilled that Sum Up selected us to design and create their corporate gifts in 2020!
