About Us
Founded in 2016, W/Compliments is a woman-owned and led company redefining corporate gifting. We partner with like-minded brands to source sustainable, thoughtful, design-forward gifts that feel intentional, elevated, and authentic - think more personal, less promotional.
To us, sustainability is about more than materials—it’s about purpose. Every purchase should be made with intention, considering not just what it's made of, but how it resonates with the recipient. A product crafted from organic cotton or recycled materials means little if it isn’t well-made or aligned with your brand’s story. Impact isn’t about spending more; it’s about choosing wisely. Thoughtful selection paired with thoughtful branding creates longevity, appreciation, and lasting value.









Our Ethos
At the heart of our philosophy is a deep commitment to understanding your brand’s story—from selecting products that align with your color palette to refining logo placement and designing custom packaging. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure your gifts reflect your reputation and values.
We believe quality and aesthetics should always go hand in hand. Through strategic sourcing and thoughtful planning, we create high-impact solutions that align with your budget. The products you choose are a reflection of your brand—and ours—which is why we uphold the highest standards in every selection.
Our enduring success is built on mutual trust and collaboration. We partner with clients and brands that prioritize quality over quantity, working closely to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re expressing gratitude, strengthening connections, celebrating milestones, or enhancing your brand’s presence, we are dedicated to providing exceptional products and services that help your brand engage authentically and leave a lasting impression.

Her approach is modern, relevant, and effortlessly stylish, proving that subtle, well-executed branding makes the biggest impact. Professional without pretense, polished yet approachable, with an effortless style that makes gifting feel less like a corporate promotion and more like a meaningful, well-curated gift.

She curates products people actually want, brands with restraint, and turns corporate gifting into something cooler, smarter, and undeniably elevated.
Our Capabilities
Branded Merchandise
Branded goods are a tangible representation of your brand identity. They serve as excellent marketing tools and help foster brand loyalty, recognition and recall. Quality, materials and color scheme are important characteristics to consider for an authentic end user experience. Think ‘products people will actually want to use.’
Event Give-Aways / Sponsorships
If you have a specific event or are sponsoring one, providing details such as the target audience, theme, location, and budget will allow for tailored suggestions for appropriate branded goods.
Corporate Gifting
As experts in sourcing unique, high-end gifts for special occasions like off-site corporate retreats, conferences, or end-of-year celebrations, we offer a range of options tailored to your needs. Consider tastefully branded Patagonia jackets for an outdoor retreat, branded Slowtide beach towels for a beachside event, or custom journals and pens to elevate a sales meeting. Each gift is carefully selected to reflect your brand's identity.
Promotional Products
When investing in promotional items, consider your end goal and what you aim to achieve with these products. Not every item deserves your brand's logo. Less can often be more impactful. Emphasize quality over quantity, opting for products that strike a balance between reasonable pricing and aesthetic appeal, while subtly reflecting your brand attributes. Think of reasonably priced but functional items like a high-quality pen, organic beeswax lip balm, or a reusable tote bag.
Custom Products
If you have a need for larger quantities with additional customization, we can collaborate to bring your ideas to life through our overseas partners. This option is ideal for orders in the thousands with specific customization requirements. With a typical lead time of 70-90 business days, we can work together to create tailored products that meet your exact specifications. Whether it's a unique design, specific materials or branding elements, our overseas partnerships allow for a wide range of customization possibilities to ensure your promotional items stand out and align perfectly with your brand.
Custom Packaging
Enhance the presentation of your gifts with custom packaging options. I.e. Custom belly bands for journals, a custom note card or branded packing tape featuring your logo. Consider using tissue paper in your brand colors or branded gift boxes for a cohesive and polished look. These thoughtful touches not only elevate the gift-giving experience but also add a higher perceived value.
Gift Sets / Boxes
Create personalized custom gift sets or themed gift boxes by bundling products together for a curated and memorable experience. Consider combining complementary items such as a branded journal with a pen, or pair a French press with organic coffee beans. For a wellness-themed box, include items like a branded water bottle, yoga mat and a fitness towel.
New Hire Kits
Welcome new employees with a branded box of essentials featuring your logo, carefully selected for daily use. Consider including a reusable water bottle for hydration on-the-go, a journal paired with a quality pen for note-taking, and an apparel item such as a branded t-shirt or hoodie. Package these items in a reusable branded tote bag, creating a cohesive and practical welcome package

Whether you're unveiling a new product line and need promotional materials, developing patient starter kits for healthcare practices, or launching community-focused initiatives, we offer a range of customizable solutions to meet your needs. From branded promotional items to carefully curated kits, we work closely with our clients to ensure their message is effectively communicated and their goals are met.

Design Services
Whether you need a new logo design, modifications to an existing logo, vector files for production, or comprehensive style guides and vision boards for brand consistency, we've got you covered. Reach out to us via email to inquire about our fee structure.
Employee Recognitions
Motivate and boost company morale by recognizing achievements and milestones with a special and unique gift. Consider something that will be at the forefront of their day-to-day life, serving as a constant reminder of their success. This could be a luxurious item they wouldn't typically buy for themselves. I.e. An electric kettle & pour-over kit by Stagg or a travel bag by RAINS.
Drop Ship Programs
If you're ordering for multiple locations or have remote employees, let us handle the logistics for you. We'll coordinate deliveries to different addresses on your behalf.
Virtual Pop-Up Shops
Virtual pop-up shops are an excellent solution for holiday gift orders, employee apparel, quarterly restocking, and various other needs. With a user-friendly experience and a streamlined ordering process, each micro-site can be customized to suit specific occasions or themes. Minimum order requirements apply.
Company Stores
If you’re a large company in need of an online store with inventory that is already in stock and ready to ship, we can help. However, please note that there are minimum order requirements and volume thresholds that must be met for this to be a good fit. Contact us to discuss further and determine if this solution aligns with your needs.
Kitting & Fulfillment
Our fulfillment and logistics partners are equipped to kit items together in individual boxes or ship in bulk to domestic and international locations. We have a proven track record of managing high-profile projects, including those with up to 1,000,000 individual recipients.
