Proposal:

The Kansas City Box team has curated a selection of customizable gift components based on your overall vision from our exploratory conversation. These specific gifts have a greater emphasis on quality over quantity paired with a unique unboxing experience. We create our proposals with every detail in mind. For this reason, you will find a detailed description of proposed components, a breakdown of logo incorporation, cost, shipping options, and more. We understand sometimes it’s hard to visualize what your custom gift will come together to look like. Once we hear your feedback on what you like/dislike the team will create a complete gift and photograph for your review. Complete gift suite photos also come stock with your gift package.

*Proposed components are subject to availability

Proposed gift contents

This proposed gift includes:

  • High Quality Black Cardboard Box with Magnetic Closure

  • Roasterie Coffee - Victory or Kansas City Blend

    • All coffee comes ground unless otherwise requested

    • Have a specific bag color you’re looking for? Let us know - we have every variety from Roasterie available

  • Jack Stack Minis Set

    • This is a great way to incorporate Kansas City BBQ while providing smaller samples so the recipient can try both the BBQ sauce and the all purpose seasoning set

  • Kansas City Canning Co

    • Canning Co is consistently a year round best seller and provides an alternative snack item that’s not BBQ sauce. We believe this rounds out the Taste of Kansas City nicely.

    • Canning Co and most local BBQ sauces are of equivalent pricing. We can swap if you’d prefer this route.

  • Topsy’s Popcorn

    • Always a heavily requested item in both our online store and corporate gifting. We recommend this Kansas City blend which includes cheese, caramel, and cinnamon popcorn.

    • Also available in Caramel or Cheese mix

  • Andre’s Chocolate Covered Sea Salt Caramels

    • We like this option for the chocolates as it’s a crowd favorite, offers multiple pieces for easier sharing, and the packaging nicely compliments the gift components.

  • Stuffed with Ivory Crinkle Paper

  • Custom Gift Insert with Logo Incorporation and Custom Gift Messaging

    • You can select one of our pre-made designs or design your own and we’ll print on your behalf!

  • Gift Insert Outlining the Shop Local Nature of the Gift

  • Tied with Ribbon

    • Optional Satin Ribbon upgrades available

  • Ribbon Tied with Lewer Logo Hang Tag

Swap option - Even swap for the Topsys popcorn is rufus teague honey bbq nuts

Would you like more of a KC BBQ focus? We recommend swapping Topsy’s popcorn for Rufus Teague Honey or Hot BBQ nuts snack bag. These are equivalent in size and price.

  • The base price for this gift is $78.00 per gift

  • $78.00 per gift includes applied corporate discounting for 50+ units purchased, all labor, proposal, and managed shipping logistics.

  • **if shipping exceeds the $100 threshold KC Box will apply a complimentary discount to match budget request
