About

At Carabella Gifts we work within the luxury corporate gift industry and offer a bespoke service that truly reflects your brand and the recipient so they feel valued and appreciated. Building strong loyal relationships with your team and clients is fundamental to business success and we manage the entire process so you never forget to say thank you again. We even hand write the greetings card, how's that for a personal touch! I'm the Managing Director of Carabella Corporate Gifts, and set up the business in 2015 following a successful corporate career within the Sport and Corporate PR world. Whilst I received many gifts from clients and managers over the years, always with the best of intentions, they were rather generic. One year I received a gift from a corporate partner, which was a hamper filled with gifts that I must have told them I loved through many conversations. It was such a delight to receive a gift so personal and I felt truly valued. Carabella Gifts emerged from the idea of providing a thank you that really means something and leaves a lasting impression, which will then lead to referrals, repeat business and strong relationships. Before I launched Carabella corporate gifts I had worked within Premier League Football for over a decade and managed the Barclays Spaces for Sports programme which was the most incredible role, producing a tool kit of commercial and community activities to build opportunities and relationships in key territories around the world. I launched Carabella gifts because I found through my experience in the corporate world that building loyalty is crucial to success. According to RJ Metrics, our loyal top 10% of customers spend up to 3x more than the remaining 90% of customers, but so often we get too busy in-house to say thank you in a more personal way and end up sending a bottle of red wine and then find out they do not even drink. At Carabella Gifts, we believe that providing a personal gift can make employees feel more valued and customers more loyal, and this can only improve your bottom line. We can work with you to curate gift hamper options for your chosen occasion or event, we can manage the whole process for you or work with your in-house team to choose the perfect gift selection, after all, no-one understands your brand more than you. From food and drink hampers to promotional merchandise, we are a full gifting solution and would love to work with you.
