— Where the work shows up —

Programs built around the moment.

The occasions differ; the standard does not. A few of the moments financial services firms bring to us most often.

Investor relations gifts

LP appreciation, investor day welcome kits, and limited partner holiday gifting.

Executive gifting

MD and partner milestones, deal closings, and client retention.

Event merchandise

Annual meetings, investor conferences, and leadership summits.

New hire & onboarding

Portfolio company welcome kits, executive onboarding, and new partner gifts.

Case study

Hundreds of client gifts. One seamless experience.

A leading private equity firm needed a better way for investment professionals across the organization to send branded gifts, support conferences, and recognize important client milestones—without creating additional administrative work for their marketing or operations teams.

Capital Gifts developed and manages a custom internal gifting platform that gives employees access to a curated collection of approved gifts and branded merchandise. Team members can quickly order client gifts, conference materials, and office essentials through a single, easy-to-use portal.

Today, the program supports everything from everyday relationship-building to major conferences and investor events, allowing the firm to deliver a consistent brand experience across every office.

Behind the scenes, we manage every aspect of the program—from product curation and inventory management to fulfillment, replenishment, and quarterly consolidated billing.

To make every gift feel personal, each shipment includes the sender's business card and a handwritten note on the firm's branded stationery, creating a thoughtful experience while eliminating extra work for employees.

— Frequently asked —

For those considering
a first engagement.

A few of the questions we're asked most often. For anything else — including pricing, lead times, and references — the most direct path is a short conversation.

Who do you work with?+
Investment firms, private equity and venture capital funds, private wealth organizations, family offices, investment banks, and hedge funds. We typically work with IR teams, marketing directors, and executive assistants who need a gifting partner that understands the institutional standard.
What are the most common reasons firms come to you?+
Annual meetings, LP events, deal closings, holiday programs, and new partner or MD milestones. Most firms start with one occasion and expand into a year-round program once they see how the process works.
How is this different from a standard gifting company?+
We don't work from a catalog. We curate to the specific audience, occasion, and brand standards of each firm — and we understand the difference between what's appropriate for a limited partner and what's appropriate for a portfolio founder.
Can you work within our compliance requirements?+
Yes. We work within gift value thresholds, disclosure obligations, and agency-specific ethics policies. We provide itemized per-recipient documentation and program records structured to support your compliance and legal review.
Can you manage a year-round gifting program for our firm?+
Yes. We coordinate multiple touchpoints across the calendar — annual meeting merchandise, mid-year appreciation, holiday gifting — through a single point of contact. Most clients start with one program and build from there.
Do you ship internationally?+
Yes. We fulfill across more than forty countries, managing customs, duties, and carrier selection so your IR or executive assistant team isn't coordinating international logistics on top of everything else.
Are you a women-owned business?+
Yes. Capital Gifts is a women-owned business based in Washington, D.C. We are in the process of pursuing formal certification and can provide documentation of ownership upon request.
