Best for

Choose boutique & gift specialties if your moment is speaker and vip gifts, client christmas and end-of-year or new-business pitch leave-behinds.

Speaker and VIP gifts

A single, beautifully-considered object — a ceramic vessel, a linen throw, a leather notecard wallet — in custom tissue with a handwritten card. The gifts speakers post on LinkedIn without being asked.

Client Christmas and end-of-year

A curated box pairing an Australian-made object with small-batch gourmet — olive oil, honey, single-origin coffee — tied with branded ribbon. Reorder the same shape each year; change the contents.

New-business pitch leave-behinds

A tonally-restrained boxed set — a debossed journal, an engraved pen, a beeswax candle — that lives on the desk long after the pitch ends. Restraint reads as confidence.

Launch, campaign and brand moments

A limited-run gift that matches the campaign palette — custom colourway ceramics, sleeve-printed candles, bespoke tissue and stickers. Designed for social, beautiful in the hand.

Founder and board gifting

Genuine leather desk pieces, fine-paper stationery, small-format ceramics — tone-on-tone branding only. A gift that carries the brand at the quietest register, which is often the loudest.

Three of our speakers posted their speaker gifts on LinkedIn without being asked — which is the highest compliment. Sense2 understood the audience beautifully and made us look like the thoughtful hosts we hoped to be.

How to choose

Start with the moment, not the object. A speaker gift lives a different life to a Christmas client gift, which lives a different life to a pitch leave-behind — and the material, the weight and the branding register should shift to match. For speaker and VIP moments, we lean into single-object gifts: a ceramic cup, a linen-bound notebook, a small leather piece. One beautiful thing, tissue-wrapped, with a handwritten card. The restraint is the craft. For client Christmas and end-of-year, curated boxes perform best — an Australian-made object paired with two or three small-batch gourmet items (olive oil, honey, chocolate, coffee, tea). Pick a box shape and colour palette you can reorder annually; change the contents each season so repeat clients feel both remembered and surprised. Branding method is where boutique briefs reward care. Tone-on-tone deboss on leather and linen reads as quietly confident. Foil stamp on boxed covers signals occasion. Laser etch on ceramic, glass and timber is permanent and tactile. For packaging, custom tissue, a printed sleeve, a branded ribbon and a handwritten card will do more for perception than any logo on the object itself. The object carries the gift; the packaging carries the brand. On MOQ: most boutique pieces start at 25-100, with bespoke curated boxes workable from 10-25 when sourced from our stocked range. Lead times sit at 10-20 business days for branded pieces; stocked lines with same-brand kitting can turn in 5-10. Always request samples — at this register, the decision happens in the hand, not on the spec sheet. Samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours so the team can hold the weight before artwork lock.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb at 50qty: a branded ceramic mug or candle sits around AU$28-$55; a linen-bound journal AU$45-$85; a small leather piece AU$65-$140; a curated two-to-three-item boxed gift AU$85-$220 landed including custom box, tissue, ribbon and card. Tone-on-tone deboss and laser etch are typically included in unit pricing at this tier. Foil stamp on custom boxes adds AU$3-$7 per unit plus a one-off die around AU$120. Handwritten cards and ribbon-tying are included on most curated gift briefs.

Delivery across Australia

Delivered Australia-wide in 10-20 business days standard — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra. Stocked specialty lines with same-brand kitting can turn in 5-10 business days. We kit, split-ship to multiple recipients with individual handwritten cards, and run timed-release dispatch for launch windows and Christmas campaigns at no extra handling. Gift-wrapping, branded ribbon and hand-tied finishing included on request.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for boutique gift specialties?

Most boutique pieces start at 25-100 units. Bespoke curated boxes are workable from 10-25 when sourced from our stocked range, making this tier practical for speaker gifts, board gifting and small VIP runs. For larger programs (500+) we step into volume pricing with the same finish and packaging treatment.

How long do boutique and specialty gifts take to produce and deliver?

Standard lead time is 10-20 business days from artwork approval, including custom tissue, box printing and hand-finishing. Stocked specialty lines with same-brand kitting can turn in 5-10 business days for late Christmas briefs. Always ask about timed-release dispatch for multi-recipient campaigns.

What branding methods suit boutique gifts?

At this register we lean into restraint: tone-on-tone deboss on leather and linen, laser etch on ceramic, glass and timber, foil stamp on boxed covers, and full-colour sleeve or tissue print on packaging. Pad print and screen print are available where the brief calls for colour on the object itself. Handwritten cards and branded ribbon are included on most curated briefs.

Can I see samples before committing?

Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours. At this tier the decision truly happens in the hand — the weight of the ceramic, the grain of the leather, the finish of the foil — so we encourage every agency and brand team to order samples before artwork lock. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs.

Do you offer Australian-made and sustainably-sourced boutique gifts?

Yes. Our range includes Australian-made ceramics, linen, leather and small-batch gourmet producers, alongside FSC-certified paper packaging, beeswax candles and recycled-content boxes. For briefs with a sustainability story, we'll route you through Australian-made and certified options and document provenance for your internal sign-off.

Can you ship individual gifts to different recipients with handwritten cards?

Yes — this is one of the briefs we enjoy most. We kit individual gifts, add handwritten cards with each recipient's name and a bespoke message, wrap and ribbon them, and split-ship Australia-wide or internationally. Provide the recipient list in a spreadsheet and we handle the rest. Timed-release dispatch available for launch windows and Christmas campaigns.
