At Georgia Crafted, we pride ourselves on creating meaningful and thoughtful gift boxes that make people feel special, whether they’re celebrating a new job, moving to a new home, or attending a major event. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a company called Patent Co., who reached out to us to help welcome their international colleagues and distributors to Atlanta for the upcoming IPPE 2025 Trade Show.

Patent Co., based overseas, needed a unique way to make their team feel right at home during their time in Georgia. With attendees flying in from places like Serbia, Latin America, and Austria, they wanted to ensure their colleagues had a little taste of Georgia waiting for them in their hotel rooms. And we were more than happy to assist!

The Request: Welcome Gift Boxes for International Guests

Patent Co. asked us to create "Mini Welcome to Georgia Gift Boxes" that would be placed in the hotel rooms of their team members. The goal was simple but impactful: to make their guests feel more welcomed by introducing them to a few local favorites that represented the hospitality and flavor of Georgia. They trusted us to curate a selection of items that would leave a lasting impression.

The Gift Box Contents: A Taste of Georgia

We carefully selected products that are both iconic to Georgia and enjoyable for a wide range of tastes:

• Cheese Straws by Southern Straws: These crispy, cheesy treats are a Southern classic and the perfect snack for anyone with a craving for something savory.
• Georgia Peanuts Snack Pack by the Georgia Peanut Commission: Known worldwide for their quality, Georgia peanuts are a must-have! These snack-sized packs are ideal for a quick bite.
• Peach Buds by Butterfields Candy (based in NC): To add a sweet touch, we included these delicious peach-flavored candies. After all, Georgia is famous for its peaches, and what better way to share that with international guests?

Each gift box was carefully packaged and thoughtfully assembled, then sent to a local Marriott hotel, where they were waiting for the guests upon arrival in their rooms, offering a warm Georgia welcome even before they made their way to the event. As our client said, “I am sure that all of them are going to feel more welcomed if there is something waiting for them in the hotel room.” We couldn't agree more!

Branded Touch for a Personalized Experience

To add an extra level of customization, Patent Co. designed their own branded card that would be included inside the gift box. They sent us their design, and we printed and adhered it to the inside lid of each box. This allowed them to get their branding in front of the recipients while still offering a thoughtful, local touch. It's always great to see how personalized touches like these can elevate the gifting experience and make it even more memorable.

International Appeal with a Local Touch

What made this project particularly exciting was the international nature of the attendees. People were flying in from around the world, including places like Serbia, Latin America, and Austria. By providing these snacks, which included two of which are made right here in Georgia, we were able to give them a taste of local culture and hospitality. It’s always a thrill to know that a small gesture—like a thoughtfully curated gift box—can make such a big impact.

Conclusion

The IPPE 2025 Trade Show will be an exciting event for Patent Co. and all of their colleagues, and we’re honored to have been a part of their preparation by crafting these welcome gift boxes. It’s experiences like this that remind us of the power of thoughtful gifting: the simple act of welcoming someone with local treats and a personalized branded touch can make them feel truly special.
