It started with a question. What if this year, our holiday gifts could do more than say “thank you”? What if they could say something about who we are—as a company, as a community, and as client partners?
When it came time to plan our year-end gifting, we looked at the usual swag catalogs—mugs, tumblers, branded knick-knacks—and paused. Then we made a different choice.
We partnered with Gifts for Good, a woman-owned, Certified B Corporation that believes every gift should create a ripple of positive change. Instead of shipping out products with our logo, we sent something better: impact.
Each client received a personalized note sharing the gift Boldr made in their honor, supporting a cause aligned with their values.
What happened next was unexpected. The messages started rolling in.
“Thank you so much for this gift! My dog is a rescue so this hits close to my heart.” — Katie Rose Dawson, Director of Customer, Odeko
“Thank you for helping moms in need. This truly means a lot. Please keep doing great work.” — Rory Wicks, Outsourcing Support Manager, Ocado
“Thanks for the gift—I’m happy to use it for ocean habitat restoration.” — Neil Smith, Vice President of Technical Support, Iterable
“Thank you for offering charitable options as gifts and making a positive impact in the world.” — Mike Stanowski, Director of Customer Experience, Made In
“Thank you so much for this gift and for the fact that it will result in the planting of trees!” — Summer Weinberg, Systems & Compliance Director, STG
“You all are such great partners. Thank you very much for your partnership.” — Kimberly Tom, Director of Customer Experience, Brooklinen
“My kids will love this lion—and it’s amazing that it supports a great cause.” — Paul Nobile, Lead Professional Services, ActionIQ
These weren’t just polite thank-yous. They were stories, reflections, and heartfelt affirmations from our clients—who suddenly weren’t just recipients of a gift, but part of a movement.
Here’s what Boldr's community helped make possible:
One of those gifts went to a maternal health clinic in Central America, where prenatal vitamins are often out of reach. A young mother named Isabel received her first full bottle during her second trimester. She delivered a healthy baby two months later. Her nurse said the vitamins likely made all the difference.
Through Gifts for Good, we found a way to make the holidays more meaningful. But through you—our clients—we found community, compassion, and a reminder of why we do this work.
Gifts for Good showed us what happens when generosity and impact meet. Every product in their catalog supports a nonprofit or social enterprise. Every gift has a story. And every recipient becomes part of the solution.
We’re taking that spirit with us into the year ahead.
So next time you see a Boldr delivery, know that it’s never just a project. It’s a partnership. A purpose. And sometimes, it’s a bottle of vitamins that saves a life.
