Surprise & Delight
A shot of "surprise & delight" with a chaser of ingenuity.
For the 10th College Football Playoff championship game, we designed and created this trunk-like box that opened to display 3 sections; shelves to hold custom figurines and memorabilia, a gold foil scratch-off art print, and a display holder for their hand-painted football. Guests were invited to scratch-off elements of the print to personalize the box to their own CFP history.
Racing stripes on the go! For Daytona 2024, NASCAR gifted these faux-leather laptop pouches fully printed with the design in full color. Raceday guests could choose from 3 different art options and have their initials embroidered in NASCAR colors. We love gifting that has layers of interaction–selecting from multiple options and adding personalization makes gifting special to the recipient.
How do you maximize anniversary excitement? Mini-memorabilia! This year’s CFP box included a “showcase” area to house guest’s memorabilia gifted for the 10th CFP championship game. Custom shelves and velcro make the area customizable so guests can add items collected over the years. 10th anniversary items included: mini felt pennant flag, custom gold coin, chenille patch, enamel “megaphone” keychain, 2024 enamel pin, mini foam finger, custom 3D sculpted Perry the Pylon figurine, & mini helmet.
For the Beaches "Girlfriends’ Getaway" event, we created this illustrated map of the event’s activity locations throughout the resort. We included drawings of the iconic building styles of the different villages to represent the resort layout. To make the map specific for the weekend, we marked event activities and locations with playful graphics and characters. After the weekend concluded, this map became a keepsake piece of artwork to remember the event festivities.
Hey besties! Beaches Girlfriends’ Getaway guests were greeted by this “postcard” itinerary when they arrived to the resort. The itinerary was designed as postcards for each day of the event, held together with a pink carabiner engraved with the Beaches’ logo. Daily themes were illustrated on the front of each card with a mirrored design. Fun sayings, playful flamingos, and tiny details made each card a special piece of art. The postcard backs had activity and sponsor information for each day.
Reminiscing about a trip with Dazzle Africa is easier when you receive this paper accordion with personalized photos from safari goers’ experience. After returning from their safari, these momento pieces are sent to each traveler to commemorate their trip and memories together. Every accordion "album" is specially designed per trip with safari photos (taken by the Dazzle Africa team during the safari) and custom captions.
We took our new design for a spin with a fully-printed shipping box that was covered in our characteristic upbeat phrases and bright graphics. Box contents included: a tumbler (personalized with recipient’s initials), a fully printed custom bandana, a GGL swag capsule, and a scratch-off card that revealed a special surprise.Our FAM took the gamble and scratched to reveal that they would receive a second gift (either a GGL fully printed duffel bag or custom embroidered hat)!
Could there be a more fun way to gift a water bottle? (Nope!) All bottles should come with custom sticker sheets (obviously). We curated this branded metallic gold water bottle for the College Football Playoff and designed custom LA-inspired stickers to decorate each bottle.
Snack time with an LA spin! We created this branded metallic gold classic lunchbox tin to hold snacks during the College Football Playoff in Los Angeles. The handle made for easy carrying while a variety of California-inspired snacks included dried oranges, pistachios, a decadent LA-chocolate bar and chips. A cocktail kit and champagne gummies makes it clear – this lunchbox is not for the cafeteria!
We designed this soft-touch custom box to hold CFP’s yearly gifted football and game tickets. This box was luxurious at every turn, created with gold foil logos, clear hot-stamping, matte black finish and metallic gold surprises. Inside, a hidden drawer held tickets and registration collateral. The clear window allowed recipients to use the box as a display case for their football.
When the new laser cutter arrives, you know things are about to get crazy! For delivery of mini trophies for the College Football Playoff, we engraved the logo onto the lid of the box to mimic the branding with dimension. The wooden “screen” lifted to reveal the mini trophy inside, while a sound chip played a celebratory song upon the box opening.
A car so cool… we had to coin it! We worked with Hendrick Motorsports to create a coin to commemorate the debut of their 40th anniversary Camaro. Creating a small token, like this coin, is a great way to have your partners, clients, or fans be able to share in big celebrations.
To celebrate the kickoff off the 2024 NASCAR season, Hendrick Motorsports gifted this 40th anniversary keepsake box filled with special items marking the milestone. The box was built around a miniature helmet that was hand-painted at an event by @sugarandscript with the Hendrick team’s car numbers and special guests’ names. To hold the helmets in place, we created a box with a platform to showcase the piece, as well as a custom-made 40th anniversary pin, commemorative coin and custom print.
Pumpkin patch parcel – this activity box was included in the third mailer sent to promote the Inspector Sun movie premiere. Delivered before Halloween, mini pumpkins connected this mystery movie to the spooky fun holiday. Recipients decorated pumpkins with character feature stickers and craft items and were invited to share their front porch creations on social media.
This mailer, sent to promote the Inspector Sun premiere for Viva pictures, was a custom-made mailer box that doubled as a detective-themed mystery game. Inspector Sun, the main character of the movie, popped up when the box was opened and a sound chip played his detective tagline. Clue cards led recipients around the gift, prompting detective tasks and commending solves with movie-themed gifting. If you cracked the case, you found the secret swag capsule (hidden in spider webs – spooky!).
This mailer was the second touchpoint sent to families to promote the premiere of the animated movie: Inspector Sun. Inspired by the mystery movie, we began setting clues about the premiere – cookie clues, that is! A jar contained cookies that were molded to resemble the main insect stars of the film. A “Character Key” was added to the Top Secret envelope in the box to help recipients learn all about the movie. The cookie jar held a secret message scroll – there are more mysteries to solve!
A mystery awaits you… This oversized postcard was the first touchpoint sent to announce the premiere of the animated movie: Inspector Sun. Metallic gold printing made this postcard shine and a scratch-off sticker initiated the recipients to reveal their first clue, getting them intrigued about what else is to come.
Playing off Drew’s iconic introduction of the GO-GO’s at their R&R Hall of Fame induction ceremony, this mailer helped kick off the 3rd season of The Drew Barrymore Show. The exterior was designed to look like an 80’s record player while the inside was filled with all the things you need to get your day GO-GO-ing - complete with facial mask, branded towel, branded bluetooth speaker, shower steamers and de-stress rainbow.
This 90’s-themed mailer for the 25th anniversary of The Knot started with a shipping box illustrated to look like a classic boom box that opened to reveal a 90's still life. Embedded into the custom platform were surprises including a “Time Capsule” (filled with nostalgic candy, branded shoelaces, custom tattoos, stickers and buttons), a Viewmaster with a look back of their trendsetting covers, and a USB faux cassette. A blinged out Jansport backpack and the 25th anniversary issue of The Knot.
This little box of sunshine announced the 2nd season of The Drew Barrymore Show with lots of Drew’s favorites that she hand-picked from small businesses: A "Little Yellow Book”, her signature flower pin, wildflower seed matchbooks, "Drew’s News" magnet, coffee, fragrance oil, crystal cookie, cosmetics, her mug and magazine - all held in a fully printed, cheery little (actually, quite big) box.
