Corporate gifts for employees

We've lived through a few rough years, and an increase in remote work opportunities mean people now have so many more options to switch jobs. That means employee recognition and retention is more important than ever.

Why the average gift basket doesn't work

At Minny & Paul, we've crafted the winning formula for great gifts guaranteed to brighten the days of your employees. In our initial consultation, we work with you to bring your ideas to life. We make sure your employee gift is personalized to your company. Whether you are gifting for the holiday season or celebrating the completion of a special project, our team will help you design the perfect gift.

Here's what makes us different than other corporate gift baskets:

Quality

At Minny & Paul, we source exclusively from small, independently wned businesses. Our artisans care about quality and so do we! We carefully test each product before adding it to the Minny & Paul family. When you partner with us, you know your gift is crafted by caring hands from start to finish.

Packaging

Many gift baskets come wrapped in wasteful cellophane with a one-size-fits-all approach. In fact, many gift baskets are designed only for a single use. It's time for a better, more eco-friendly approach.

All of our gifts are consciously packaged with planet-friendly materials. Unlike the average gift basket, our packaging supplies are recyclable, our packing peanuts are biodegradable, and all of our gift vessels are specifically designed for reuse after unboxing.

Longevity

We believe gifting is an investment and we care about your ROI. Our vessels are designed to be reused around the home, our leave-behind items are high-quality products your employees will actually use, and our small-batch treats always leave a lasting impression. When you gift with us, your employees will feel the benefits long after the gift has been opened.

What our Clients are saying

We wanted to send something special to all of our employees to mark the one-year anniversary of everyone working remotely. We wanted something thoughtful and unique - something more than a gift card. The entire process was a breeze. The team at Minny & Paul was absolutely wonderful to work with. Very responsive. Very helpful. The product was perfect. Our employees LOVED the gifts and I have been singing their praises ever since.

Shantel O'Meara, Leer, Wagner & Kohl, PA

We have received an almost ridiculous amount of praise for the thoughtfulness and quality of the gifts from our clients and partners. Everything from the tree planting to female owned businesses to how great the snacks and treats are have been commented on. I look forward to working with Minny & Paul again.

The attention to detail from Minny & Paul is unparalleled. From the initial inquiry to the final packing and shipping experience, each aspect of the process is handled with professionalism and first-rate customer service. Every time I work with this team, I get all of my questions answered thoroughly and quickly, and I end up with solutions that exceed my expectations while meeting my budget. We may be in a pandemic, but Minny & Paul makes my job so much easier. They are a rare find in the gift marketplace.

In the meeting and event world we are always looking for new ideas to surprise and delight our attendees. Minny & Paul helped us find the perfect gift by creating and curating custom gift boxes for our VIPs so that we could give them a truly memorable experience.

Our most common corporate gift prices we see are $50, $75 or $100. We also see $150-$250 as a common price range for VIP clients.

Can I customize my gift message or include a personalized message?+-

What are your gift minimums?+-

For a fully custom corporate gift order, we have a $4,000 overall budget minimum. Not you? Not to worry. You can leverage our "Online Shop with Branded Touch" option for 25 units or more. This option allows you to brand packaging elements. Lastly, our Online Shop has no minimums. The downside? No branding.

What is your gift lead time?+-

Online Shop (Ready-to-Ship Gift Collection): Once you place your order online, please allow 1-3 business days for processing plus transit time. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect your gift to arrive within a week of placing your gift order. Online Shop with Branded Touch: 2-3 weeks from contract signing. Fully Custom: 3-5 weeks from contact signing depending on branded elements included. For details on each of these options, see above to the first FAQ question.

Do you have an option where I can order a bunch of corporate gift boxes/baskets at once and you ship them out when I want?+-

Yes! We offer retainer based gifting for our business clients. We ship gifts on-demand as needed. When you submit a request with the shipping address(s), we ship the gift(s) within 1-3 business days. We offer 3 month, 6 month and 12 month contracts. Reach out to hello@minnyandpaul.com to learn more!

How are your gift boxes different than the traditional gourmet gift baskets I see from Harry & David?+-

We love a wine gift basket or fresh fruit gift tower like the rest of them, but to break through the noise - a Minny & Paul corporate gift will stand out. Not only because everything inside the gift is from small makers you can feel proud to support, but because the packaging is elevated and eco-friendly. Clients have seen it all, they are looking for something unique that will truly make them feel appreciated.

Do you ship gifts internationally?+-

Yes indeed!

Do you include receipts in the packaging?+-

No way! We don't want to spoil the gift of course. As the gift giver, you will receive an email confirmation for orders placed online that can serve as a receipt. If you need something additional, please email us at hello@minnyandpaul.com. For business and custom gifts, you will have a copy of the invoice.

Can I send gift baskets for clients to multiple addresses?+-

Absolutely! If you are using our online shop, our "Multi Ship" tool at checkout makes it easy to send multiple gifts to various addresses. If you are ordering more than 25 units with our Online Shop with Branded Touch option, we will email you a .csv file to use as a template for your addresses. We will also provide you with the address template for Fully Custom orders. If you have any questions, you can always email us at hello@minnyandpaul.com.

What if our recipient has an allergy or another concern?+-

We are happy to accommodate any allergy concerns for your gift recipients. Simply let your gift design expert know during the consult phase.

What happens to a delivery when the recipient isn't there to receive it?-+-

If the recipient is not available to receive their delivery, the gift will be left at the delivery location. Minny & Paul cannot be held liable for theft or damage of the gift, if the intended recipient is unavailable to receive their delivery.
