Gift guide

The corporate gifting guide

Three ways to use our sweet jars, cones and fudge boxes as business gifts: client thank-yous, event favours and gifts for the team.

Client thank-yous

A personalised sweet jar with your client's name on the label. Choose the Thank You Corporate label design.

Events and conferences

For delegates, a 4-piece fudge favour box or a personalised sweet cone is small enough to carry home. For speakers or a VIP table, there is the 970ml keepsake jar. You can price all three on the favours page, with volume savings and a written quote.

Gifts for the team

A sweet jar with a Thank You label, or a fudge box with a Well Done sticker on the lid, for each person.
