Don’t Give Them Another Gift. Give Them a Buffalo Experience.

DON'T GIVE THEM ANOTHER GIFT.
GIVE THEM A BUFFALO EXPERIENCE.

How customized gift kits help Buffalo businesses create more memorable client, employee and VIP gifting experiences.

The Problem With Most Corporate Gifts

They're forgettable. Another tumbler. Another tote bag. Another piece of branded merchandise that ends up in a drawer.

A better approach is to start with the experience—not the product. Who are you giving it to? Why are you giving it to them? What do you want them to remember?

That's where customized gifting becomes powerful.

The Buffalo Collection below shows how a familiar local story can become a thoughtful, branded experience.

The 716 Wing Flight Board

Turn a Buffalo tradition into a brand experience.


Buffalo has no shortage of iconic food experiences. Instead of giving someone another generic food gift, turn one of the city's most recognizable traditions into an experience people can share, use and remember.

Ideal for: Restaurants • Law Firms • Banks • Client Gifting

The Buffalo Blizzard Kit

Because in Buffalo, “weather” is a team sport.

Take something every Buffalonian understands and turn it into a clever, useful gift. An ice scraper, hand warmers, flashlight and other winter essentials become a Buffalo story your brand can own.

Ideal for: Auto Dealers • Insurance Companies • Banks • Employee Gifts

Four Seasons of Buffalo

Don't just brand the product. Brand the idea.

A candle is a product. Four Seasons of Buffalo is an idea. Snow Day, Lake Erie, Fall in the 716 and Game Day turn a familiar gift into a complete Buffalo experience.

Ideal for: Hotels • Real Estate • Law Firms • Client Gifting

The Buffalo Stadium Blanket

Make your brand part of something people actually use.

A premium blanket can live at the stadium, in the office, at an outdoor event or on the couch. The branding becomes part of the experience instead of being the entire experience.

Ideal for: Healthcare • Financial Services • Corporate • Employee Gifts

The 716 Field Guide

Give someone a reason to explore Buffalo.

The 716 Field Guide turns local knowledge into a gift. Customize it around your audience, your neighborhood, your recommendations—or your company's story.

Ideal for: Hotels • Colleges • Real Estate • Tourism

The Lake Erie Weekend Kit

Give them a weekend, not another water bottle.

Start with the experience: sun, water and good times. Then build the kit around it with useful products such as a dry bag, insulated bottle and quick-dry towel.

Ideal for: Hotels • Breweries • Tourism • Client Gifting

The Buffalo Bar Cart Kit

Turn client appreciation into an experience.

Cocktail tools, premium presentation and a Buffalo-inspired story make this feel much more like a gift than promotional merchandise. It is built for relationships.

Ideal for: Law Firms • Banks • Real Estate • VIP Clients

“Snow Day” Beanie + Handwarmer

Small kit. Big Buffalo personality.

Not every memorable gift needs to be elaborate. A quality beanie paired with a rechargeable handwarmer is practical, seasonal, local and thoughtful.

Ideal for: Employers • Auto Dealers • Insurance Companies • Employee Gifts

The Buffalo Architecture Puzzle

Turn Buffalo's story into something people can experience.

Buffalo's architecture becomes the centerpiece of an interactive gift. It can be especially powerful for companies connected to the city's built environment, while still appealing to anyone who loves Buffalo.

Ideal for: Architects • Developers • Banks • Law Firms • Client Gifting

A Taste of the 716 Box

Put Buffalo in a box.


Coffee, local flavors, snacks and Buffalo-inspired products come together as one premium experience. Customize the contents, packaging and message for the audience receiving it.

Ideal for: VIP Client Gifting • Law Firms • Real Estate • Corporate

The Product Isn't the Point. The Experience Is.

A traditional promotional-product approach asks: “What can we put our logo on?” A better approach asks: “What would make our audience remember us?”

Your Brand → Your Audience → The Idea → The Products → The Experience

That's the Holy Cow approach. We look at your audience, your goals and your brand—and then find the products, packaging and ideas that turn a simple giveaway into something people actually remember.
