Custom corporate gifts, conceived, designed, sourced, packaged and fulfilled by Abovo.
Anyone can put your logo on something.
We’d rather give people a reason to remember who sent it.
Abovo creates custom corporate gifts for companies that want to do more than select an item from a catalog. We combine strategy, creative concepts, copywriting, design, sourcing, custom packaging and fulfillment to create gifts that feel personal to your company and worth receiving.
Whether you need 12 gifts or 12,000, we can take care of as much of the process as you need.
You bring us the occasion. We’ll make it memorable.
Something Uniquely Yours
There are thousands of companies that can sell you a tumbler, barbecue set, blanket, backpack or box of chocolates. We can source those things too. What makes you stand out is what we add.
We find the idea inside the gift. The concept. The story. The unexpected detail that makes someone open the package and immediately know it could only have come from your company. That may mean creating an original theme around a product you already chose. It might mean developing custom packaging, naming products, writing copy, producing printed collateral or completely reimagining how everything comes together.
Or it could mean starting with nothing more than: “We need to send our clients something great.”
We like that one, too.
Two Ways to Start
1. You Already Know What You Want to Give.
Maybe you found the product. Maybe your CEO has an idea. Maybe your company has given the same type of gift for years and it needs new life. Bring it to us.
We’ll learn about your audience, your company and what you want the gift to accomplish. Then we’ll develop the creative direction around it.
That can include:
Gift theme and concept
Naming
Headlines and messaging
Custom packaging
Inserts and printed collateral
Graphic design
Product customization
Additional complementary items
Assembly and kitting
Shipping and fulfillment
2. You Have No Idea What to Give.
Also perfect.
We’ll start with discovery. Tell us who you’re giving to, why you’re giving, what matters to your organization, your budget and what you absolutely do not want to send. Then we get to work curating the perfect custom corporate gift.
We develop a focused set of original gift recommendations specifically for your company. Once you choose a direction, we build out the concept, messaging, products, design, packaging and fulfillment.
No scrolling through 700 pages of promotional products. No wondering whether everyone else received the same thing. No settling for your logo slapped on whatever happened to be available.
The Gift Is Only the Beginning
A great corporate gift is rarely about the object itself. It’s about the idea surrounding it.
For one client, an ordinary barbecue gift became something completely proprietary by creating custom branded spices to accompany it. For another project, that extra layer might be a custom coffee blend, original packaging, an unexpected message or a concept that connects the gift directly to the company giving it. We look for the element that turns a gift into your gift.
Because if your competitors could send the exact same thing, we’re probably not finished yet.

The best client gifts don’t feel like marketing. They feel thoughtful.
They surprise people. They make someone laugh. They tell a story. They create a moment. They might even earn a permanent spot on someone’s desk instead of a permanent spot in the promotional-product drawer. That’s the goal.
We create gifts for:
- Client appreciation
- Holiday gifting
- Employee recognition
- Executive gifts
- Board gifts
- Customer milestones
- Company anniversaries
- Events and conferences
- New employee onboarding
- Sales prospects
- Partner appreciation
- Special campaigns
- Grand openings and launches
And occasionally for reasons that don’t fit nicely into a bulleted list.
Those are usually fun.
From 12 to 12,000
You don’t need to be ordering thousands of gifts to make something extraordinary. And you don’t need to be ordering a dozen.
We work across quantities, budgets and levels of complexity. What matters most is whether there’s an opportunity to create something worth remembering.

FAQS
Can Abovo help us come up with custom corporate gift ideas?
Yes. You do not need to know what you want to give before contacting us. We can learn about your audience, goals, budget and occasion and develop original corporate gift concepts for your company.
Can we come to Abovo with a product we've already selected?
Absolutely. If you already know what you want to give, we can develop the creative concept around it, including messaging, design, packaging, supporting items, assembly and fulfillment.
Does Abovo sell promotional products?
We can source promotional and branded products, but our corporate gifting work goes beyond selecting merchandise from a catalog. Our specialty is developing original concepts and experiences around the products we source.
Can you create fully custom corporate gifts?
Yes. Depending on the project, customization can include custom products, private-label items, proprietary blends, packaging, printed pieces, naming, copywriting, design and other original elements.
Can you handle corporate gift fulfillment?
Yes. We can assemble, package and ship gifts directly to recipients.
What if our company cannot share customer addresses?
We can accommodate projects where privacy, compliance or internal policies prevent a company from providing its mailing list. Gifts can be completely assembled and prepared so your organization can handle addressing and final shipment internally.
How many gifts can you produce?
Projects can range from approximately a dozen gifts to thousands of gifts. Scope, budget and production requirements vary by project.
Do you work with companies outside your local market?
Yes. Abovo works with companies on corporate gifting projects regardless of where they are located. Product sourcing, creative development, production and fulfillment can all be coordinated for organizations across the country.
Can you design the packaging and write the copy, too?
Yes. That is a significant part of what makes our approach different. Abovo is a creative agency, so the concept, words, design and presentation can all be developed together rather than treated as separate pieces.
When should we start planning holiday corporate gifts?
The earlier, the better. More lead time creates more options for sourcing, customization and original production. If your timeline is tighter, contact us anyway. We can determine what is realistically possible and develop ideas accordingly.
