Concepts
Concepts we've created
Every gift I design starts with a story about the people receiving it. These are some of the concepts I've created for companies, events and teams. Use them as inspiration: each one can be adapted to your brand, your budget and your moment.
Three budget levels
Every concept can be built at any of three levels. You choose the budget, I design the story to fit it.
- Essential, around €20 per gift: 2 to 3 artisan products, a story card, a branded sleeve or sticker.
- Signature, around €50 per gift: 4 to 5 products including one handcrafted piece (ceramic, cork or candle), a story card, a gift box. Our most popular level.
- Premium, around €90 per gift: 6 or more products, two handcrafted pieces, premium packaging, a personalised message.
Prices are indicative, per gift, excluding VAT and delivery.
A Moment of Pause
Executive Christmas gifting across Europe. For CEOs and founders in France, Luxembourg and Switzerland who already have everything. Instead of more objects, a sensory pause: specialty coffee for scent, cork and ceramics for touch, and a single line on the lid with the client's philosophy.
Inside: specialty coffee, cork piece, handmade ceramic, written story card. Premium level. Delivered to 3 countries.
Ventos Favoráveis
Year-end thank-you for a Portuguese company and its team of 50. The swallow needs a favourable wind, flies in groups, and always returns home. A story about trust, teamwork and loyalty.
Inside: handmade cork board, "Vida" candle, hand-painted ceramic swallow, línguas de gato chocolate, freeze-dried Madeira pineapple. Signature level.
Welcome to Portugal
For an international recruitment agency. New arrivals shouldn't just hear about Portugal. They should taste it. Classic Portuguese flavours, refined, without the clichés.
Inside: artisanal jams, chocolate with Port wine ganache, chocolate sardines, sardines in extra virgin olive oil. Hand-delivered from Porto to Lisbon.
Also works for hotel welcome amenities, DMC arrival gifts and incentive trips.
Innovation, but Human
Women-in-tech hackathon, Lisbon. Forty women, two days of AI and HR automation challenges. The winners received something no algorithm could make: handcrafted Portuguese pieces with a story behind them.
A Thank-You That Travels Home
Speaker gift for a conference in Porto. For a speaker who travelled to Portugal: small reminders of the place and the people who invited them.
Glad You're Here
Employee onboarding. A first day should feel welcoming, not formal. Flavours and makers from Portugal to say "we're glad you're here."
Christmas Across Borders
For international teams. When distance makes it hard to gather, a gift can still travel. Portuguese flavours sent to colleagues and clients across Europe.

- Secret Santa bag, Essential level, around €20
