What says, “I value and appreciate you and your contributions,” better than a tropical experience and a new pair of sunglasses to take in the views?
The truth is, live gifting on a travel incentive or company retreat makes your people feel valued and appreciated, like their hard work was for a distinct purpose. Deep down, we all want to feel like our efforts matter and are recognized. Offering any combination of these live gifting options is the perfect way to make your valued employees, clients, and partners feel as special as they are.
Local Gifts
Consider delighting your attendees by presenting them with a thoughtful gift—a handmade or locally sourced item from the very destination you are visiting. This unique gesture will allow you and your guests to truly connect with the local culture, creating a memorable and immersive experience during your event.

Luxe Self-Care
Incentive travel is an opportunity to reward your valuable team members with a chance to connect and rejuvenate. Show your guests you value their hard work by encouraging them to take care of themselves. These self-care gifts are perfect for relaxing abroad and at home.

Bonus: Incorporate multiple layers of self-care by creating a selfcare box for your people, complete with a book for the mind, some sensory items like lotion or candles, and a spa experience they can only receive at your trip destination.
Customized Gifts
There’s no better way to convey thoughtfulness and intention than by adding a personalized touch to your gifts. Consider going the extra mile by having items embroidered, engraved, or printed with details that make them truly unique. By incorporating the recipient’s name, alongside company or trip logos, you create a lasting impression that highlights the significance of the gift and reinforces the connection between your company and the hard work of the recipient.

Useables and Wearables
Give the gift that keeps on giving with an item your guest can use or wear regularly. A nice watch, a pair of sunglasses, even blankets add a nice touch to a dream incentive trip. As an added bonus, every time your guests use or wear their gift, they’ll be reminded of the once-in-a-lifetime experience they had with you and your company.
