CELEBRATE COMPANY Milestones WITH GREEN GIFTZ.

Let's rewind and celebrate 35 years of woman owned branded merchandise agency!

What to Expect:

• How'd we end up here?!

• How to celebrate company milestones!

• Our 35th celebration merch.

The moment has come! We've turned 35 years old (blows out candles)

What a great accomplishment it is to have been around for 35 years! When Karen and Lou Scarpino started Green Giftz, they never thought we'd all be sitting here celebrating today, 35 years later. Lucky for you, they don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

We could not be prouder of the hard work the Green Giftz team has poured into these 35 years, and it's worth shouting from the rooftops. Let's take a moment to rewind and walk down memory lane.

WHO KNEW PENCILS COULD BE SO MEANINGFUL?

35 years ago, Lou started a promotional products company. When Karen found out, she jokingly said she was married to someone who sold pens & pencils. When the timing was right, Karen left her position as Vice President at a local ad agency to join Lou, selling much more than pens and pencils. With Karen's agency strategy and eye for design, Green Giftz revolutionized the promotional products industry by upcycling post-consumer waste into meaningful giveaways, all while creating impact for globally recognized brands.

At this point, they weren't just selling products; they were selling stories and strategy. By joining forces, giveaways suddenly became sustainable, purposeful, and unforgettable.

Just like that, Green Giftz was born.

HELPING CLIENTS SHINE: 35 YEARS OF MEANINGFUL CELEBRATIONS

Over the past three and a half decades, we’ve had the privilege of helping some amazing clients celebrate their own anniversaries. We helped these clients tell their stories, build their culture, and leave a lasting impression on the people who matter most.

Steelcase 100

When Steelcase partnered with Green Giftz to celebrate their 100th anniversary globally, the merchandise quickly became some of the most well-regarded and memorable pieces we've ever created together.

Amway 60

For Amway's 60th anniversary, we created a fun and memorable experience for global ABOs in Las Vegas, using intentional event touchpoints and creative merchandise to spark excitement and elevate brand visibility.

LET'S CELEBRATE IN GREEN GIFTZ STYLE

It wouldn’t be a proper Green Giftz celebration without meaningful merchandise. It's what we're passionate about after all! To celebrate, we created a series of merch dedicated to the theme of the celebration. These items included a pen and pencil set, with a story card that honored our Green Giftz origin story.

Last year at our annual Fresh Fall Finds event (psst… this year it’s happening on October 2 – see you there 😉), we soft-launched our anniversary celebration with our clients and trusted industry partners. Being able to celebrate with so many people who have been there along the way truly means a lot. Their excitement and support reminded us exactly why we do what we do, and we have carried that energy with us all year.

LOOKING AHEAD

While it’s fun to look back, we’re even more excited about what’s to come. We remain as committed as ever to staying opposite of ordinary, being guided by our clients, holding family values close, and doing the best for our planet.

As we look ahead to the next 35 years, we’re excited to continue our exploration of how technology in the marketing, supply chain, and employee experience space can elevate your corporate merchandise strategies (all while saving you time).

Thank you to everyone who is, and has been, part of this journey. From clients and collaborators to the team members that make it all happen, here’s to 35 years of impact, and many more to come.
