BESPOKE & BRANDED GIFTS

EMPLOYEE WELCOME PACKS

Branded and personalised welcome gifts for new starters, delivered straight to their door (25 packs minimum).

Start their employee journey the right way

Remember when hiring new staff used to be fun?

Lately, getting positions filled on time, and within budget now feels like an impossible ask. If you do manage to find that unicorn who isn’t now trying to gazump you into giving them a company Tesla and a 2 day working week 🙄, congratulations.

Our clients spend a lot of time and money on recruiting a new hire. We help ensure they’re committed, appreciated and feel good about the company they’ll soon be working for with branded Employee Welcome Packs and New Hire Kits.

Join over 1,000 companies across the UK and EU who trust us to deliver their happiness ❤️

Employee Starter Packs - How it Works

Employee Starter Pack Chooser

After you’ve checked out and made payment, we’ll take you through to our secure platform to set up your order.

Customise your order

We'll help you set up your order with the correct colours, styles and other customisations for each branded product in your pack. Alternatively, you can download a template and supply artwork you've created yourself.

Promotional Product Design

Shipping Options

Choose shipping options

We'll give you a selection of options for your new starter packs that include:

Sending out new hire gifts directly to your recipients straight away. You can upload address data to our secure, UK-based server
Sending everything to a single address
Warehousing your packs and dispatching them one by one when you need them
Generating a link where your recipients can claim a pack and supply their details themselves

You'll receive access to our online portal, where you can manage your order, check inventory levels and personalise gift messages prior to dispatching gifts.

One small gesture, many huge benefits

A lot can change during a new hire’s notice period.

Sending a branded employee starter pack helps you deliver a small moment of delight even before the employment journey has officially started. Create a genuine connection, and ensure all new hires feel like part of the team, even if they work remotely.

Social Capital

Our customers see an instant increase in their Offer to Day 1 ratio and significantly higher NPS scores after onboarding, but there’s a hidden benefit too. Our welcome packs are designed to be shared - both digitally and in real life.

Tagged photos of your new hire kit shared on platforms like LinkedIn or Instagram spreads positive awareness about your company, generating exposure and potential new candidate referrals.

Gifts with Purpose

A huge part of our mission is to create positive impact and
change in the communities our customers and their recipients live and work.

We believe in creating a system where everyone wins - the company, our customer and the local community.

For every Employee Welcome Pack, we donate a meal to someone sleeping rough in various areas across the UK through our charity partners. We’ll share details of the charity your gift has supported with the recipient.

Ready Made vs Bespoke New Hire Gifts

We have a number of off-the-shelf, brandable options that are ideal to be used as Employee Welcome Gifts or New Starter Packs. Alternatively, create and price your own with our Branded Gift Builder.

What’s in a new Employee Welcome Package?

We have a range of packages to suit different budgets and needs, or you can create your own bespoke gift too. All gifts include a charitable donation made on your behalf. Our products are hand-picked, responsibly sourced, sustainable and always premium quality.

Branded Packaging

Create a full colour branded sleeve, custom mailer, or bespoke presentation box.

With our bespoke packages, you can choose from different boxes, printing options and even customise the inner packaging material to match your brand colours.

Printed Postcards and Letters

Welcome new hires personally, encourage them to share the
love for their new company, and deliver that message on brand.

Choose from heavyweight, premium postcards with your own design and branding, personalised letters that we'll create for you or both!

Meal Donation

Every welcome gift you send comes with a meal donation to someone in need or sleeping rough in the UK. We’ll let the recipient know which charity you’ve supported.

Branded Products

From pens to mugs to clothing, we’ll give you a curated shortlist of options to customise and include with pack.

Many of our options are sustainable or made from recycled materials, so you can sleep easy knowing they’re sourced responsibly.

Food, Drink and Wellbeing Items

What better way to say we appreciate you than delivering a mini Waitrose to a new hire’s living room.

We’ve got a premium range of food, drink and wellbeing items to delight everyone. (Most) recipients choose to share their gift with friends and family, so you’ll be making more than one person smile!

Artwork and Layout Assistance

No designer but still need customisation? Each package comes with 30 minutes of free layout and basic customisation to create print ready artwork for your customised packaging and products.

Send us your logo, specify brand colours and we’ll do the rest.

Your own products and literature

Want to include your own branded merchandise, marketing material or books?

Create a custom package and we’ll warehouse, pack and ship your products with every package you tell us to send out.

Looking for something unique?

Create your Bespoke Welcome Pack

Getting started is easy

Place an order for however many welcome packs you need and you'll have access to inventory in your online account. Whenever you have a new starter join, you can provide their address and personalisation details, or generate a unique link for them to provide their own.

You’ll also be able to customise every package with unique dietary and sizing preferences too. When the recipient receives their gift, we'll update the tracking to let you know.

Order Now, Ship Later

Build and customise your ideal welcome gift for new starters, and receive one invoice for everything

As new people join, ship them a personalised starter pack with a few clicks.

Your branding, our logistics

Brand any of our packages and we’ll take care of customising everything from the outer box through to the products inside.

All packages include 30 minutes of artwork to get you up and running if you don’t have a designer of your own.

Personalise the message

Choose whether you want to include a personalised message in every box, or create standard messages for different types of hire.

Send personalised welcome letters, postcards or custom handbooks to ensure new starters hit the ground running.

Improve your employer reputation

Your employer reputation is everything when most candidates conduct some research on their potential employer before accepting a job offer.

We create gifts that encourage social sharing, sending a clear message that your organisation values its people.

No address? No problem

With remote hires who choose to work nomad style, or new employees that are relocating, getting the right address at the right time can be tricky.

Solve that with Self-Registration Pages and get them to provide their address, dietary and sizing preferences themselves.

Send Locally or Globally

Regardless of where your recipients are in the world, we'll ship there through our established relationships with multiple global logistic partners.

No more tax, customs or import duty worries and you can take advantage of our discounted volume rates.

Request a Call Back

No one ever had the job title chief gifting buyer, so it's likely you've been "donated" this task. Let us help with pricing and ideas for your Branded Employee Welcome Packs.

"You made it easy to design and send our branded boxes at a cost that was a fraction of what it would be to do it ourselves.

The boxes helped further our branding in sectors that were important for our growth, but most importantly increased the commitment from the merchants and instantly built trust between our team and theirs."
