When searching for gifts or amenities for events taking place in Colorado, we've gathered our years of local gifting experience to summarize some of the main things you'll want to consider when designing your gift. Then, we've shared some of our most popular and impactful gift ideas!
Local or Cultural Relevance
- One of the best things you can do to make your gifts stand out are to search for regional specialities. Snacks and beverages local to Colorado, as well as artisan made goods are an ideal way to do this.
- Browse our Build A Box page and check out tons of locally made snacks, treats, beverages, and artisan-made keepsakes. Our selection is always up to date - we monitor the local scene closely so we can bring you the latest and greatest Colorado made products.
- Some of our most popular snacks include cheese crackers made locally with just 5 ingredients, buttercrunch popcorn, spicy mixed nuts from a local distillery, & Hammond's and Chocolove chocolates.
Customization and Branding Options
- Incorporating brand or event colors, themes, and logos is another great way to design an impactful gift for events in Colorado.
- Logos and colors can be added to the gift packaging itself via custom boxes, hang tags, gift note design, tissue paper, stickers, ribbon, and more. Check out this page for some inspiration from past products.
- Logos and color themes can also be featured via unique product inserts like custom sugar cookies, chocolate bars with wrappers that feature your logo, water bottles, notebooks, and other swag.
Convenience and Logistics
- Local delivery via courier is ideal for situations where a large numbers of gifts need to be delivered on a carefully targeted date. Our warehouse is in Longmont so we can provide this service for any event location or hotel in the front range area.
- Shipping via UPS Ground is another great option that will see the gifts delivered within a 1-2 day window. We take care to include labels on the gifts that include specific event information, a contact that will be receiving the gifts, and all the other details the event location requires. We have lots of experience supplying gifts for events so are happy to share that with you to ensure a seamless and stress free gift delivery experience.
Functional Gifts that are Practical and Sustainable
- Consumables that help adjust to our high altitude and dry climate are a great gift addition: drinks, water bottles, lip balm, lotion, hydration mixes, ibuprofen packets, etc.
- Locally sourced snacks and beverages are always a big hit and can be both memorable and practical. Event attendees love things they can enjoy right away and do not have to travel with.
- One Colorado themed item for attendees to save after the event is a popular thoughtful gesture if budget allows. Some popular options include a Welcome to Colorful Colorado ornament, Colorado argyle socks, colorful trucker caps and winter beanies, and tote bags. Shop more options on our Souvenir page.
- Avoid gifting too many swag items with logos - these are statistically thrown into the landfill after the event at a very high rate.
Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
- Sustainable and eco-conscious packaging, locally sourced ingredients and packaging, and items that are ethically produced are gaining popularity.
- For packaging options, some of our favorite sustainable options include paperboard and cardboard boxes that are fully recyclable as well as high quality cotton tote bags that can be reused after the event. We avoid plastic and styrofoam.
- We recommend consumable swag (like branded chocolate and logo cookies!) rather than items that are likely to be thrown away after the event.
