At Ship Sunshine, our goal is to make it easy to brighten someone’s day. An unexpected gift can surprise and delight, and that’s exactly why we partnered with Talkspace, the online therapy company.
Working with our sister company, dropSHIP Like It’s Hot, we were able to balance the necessary global logistics with the thoughtful packaging our Ship Sunshine customers have come to love and expect.
We strive to make every gift special, so we worked closely with the Talkspace team to craft an experience that aligned uniquely with their values. Read more to discover how we delivered relaxation in a box to their deserving employees.
Project Details
In today’s busy world, it’s so important to have the tools to slow down, reflect, and unwind. This relaxation pack was designed to create a peaceful, mindful experience for Talkspace’s employees.
Talkspace, known for making therapy and psychiatry more available and affordable, knows how essential it is to take care of the whole body – including our most important organ, the brain! Sharing appreciation is one of the best ways to light up those neural pathways to show someone you care, so this carefully curated box, with a mix of branded and on-theme treats, supported their mission of growing, healing, and overcoming day-to-day challenges with mindfulness tools.
Our Approach
We were thrilled that Talkspace wanted to take a creative approach to traditional corporate gifting by including functional and useful items to reinforce their values.
Inside each custom gift was a weighted neck wrap, stress-repellent candle, mindful meditation cards, bamboo phone stand, lavender and natural tea tree hand sanitizer, insulated water bottle, and a grow-a-plant kit. Each item was carefully curated to encourage rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
The gift contents were packaged in eco-friendly packaging, with wooden elements and deep teal accents. Several items were emblazoned with Talkspace’s logo, allowing employees to display their company pride in a meaningful way.
Execution
We pride ourselves on being a small, local business, but don’t let that fool you! In tandem with our sister company, dropSHIP Like It’s Hot, we were able to source, store, and globally ship nearly 700 sets of gifts. From assembling boxes to the finishing touches, our team is truly a bulk packing powerhouse. Whether it’s one gift or one thousand, we pride ourselves on packing each one with the same care and attention to detail our partners deserve.
Talkspace Testimonial
“I started at Talkspace nearly two years ago, and was introduced to Ship Sunshine and dropSHIP Like It’s Hot by receiving my own new hire box. I was blown away. The quality and thoughtfulness of each item, the carefully and beautifully packaged box itself – the impact was immediate: I was excited to be at Talkspace and felt taken care of.
…I have since partnered with Anna and her team on the creation of three employee appreciation gift boxes…Anna took the time to understand our company, our mission, our values, and our people. She came to me with a proposal of swag that encompassed themes of Mind, Body, and Soul…
Anna and the team sourced all the items, worked closely with our design team on color matching the ribbon, tissue paper, neck wrap color, as well as custom labels for the candle and wooden cube blossom kit; and we strategized the timing of when items would get to her warehouse and when we could get them into employees hands. When it came time to ship, the team quickly and efficiently sent them out. Talkspacers got their boxes a few days later and were so grateful – to be seen, to be appreciated, and to have their self-care uplifted and supported.
We also got so much feedback on our company Slack channel, it was so much fun to see everyone’s excitement as they were receiving their gifts!
Our partnership with Ship Sunshine and dropSHIP Like It’s Hot is invaluable and a huge part of our successful employee experience initiatives for three years and counting.”
