Raspberry Realty Closing Gifts

We recently sat down with Raspberry Realty Group to create custom—and fantastically pink!—closing gifts for homebuyers.

At Gray Jay Gifts, gift giving is a thoughtful process that helps build meaningful relationships. That's why it's important for us to chat with our clients and understand the intentions behind their personalized gifts so that we can create something that leaves a lasting impression. After meeting with Raspberry Reality's team, it was clear that our goals aligned: What's on the inside—enjoyable, useful gifts chosen specially for their recipients—is what counts, but that doesn't mean we can't have pretty-in-pink packaging—branding that keeps a company top of mind with their clients—on the outside.

In conversation, we were struck not only by Raspberry's vibrant branding, but also their desire to celebrate clients with gifts they can spoil themselves with in their new homes. With celebration and self-care in mind, we set to work choosing items to mark the special occasion of taking possession of a home with a Raspberry Realty twist!

The project

Raspberry Realty Group (not your average realtors!) describes themself as "trendy meets clever." We helped them create 30 custom gifts, each with touches of Raspberry's signature flair, for clients taking possession of their newly-purchased homes.

What's in the box?

Both high-quality and thoughtfully selected, every item in the possession gift box is a Canadian product:

Raspberry-coloured tea towel

Banquet Atelier & Workshop

Fantastically practical and pink. By attaching the brand's signature colour to an everyday item like a tea towel, Raspberry stays top of mind with recipients because of the psychology of colour: Customers subconsciously associate colours with brands, so pairing the brand's signature colour with an item recipients interact with daily encourages that association to grow.

Beyond having an excellent eye for colour, line, and pattern, Banquet Atelier & Workshop's creative duo donate a percentage of their earnings (in addition to some of their products) to various organizations addressing issues such as gender-based violence and food insecurity.

"Champagne on the Brain" candle

Lueur

A celebratory scent to mark the occasion, and a nod to Raspberry Realty's trendy branding. It's an invitation for homeowners to light a candle, relax, and enjoy the scent; then, once it's fully burned, clients can repurpose the sleek, glass dish (as a planter, a catch-all, etc.), helping Raspberry Realty Group to be a happy presence in the home.

Blending style and sustainability, Lueur's candles feature unique scents and eco-friendly designs.

Raspberry gummies

C'est Bonbon

Candies that are both delicious and wonderfully on-brand. A sweet treat equally enjoyed—but not necessarily equally divided!—by solo homeowners and families alike.

Based out of Montreal, C'est Bonbon is a women-led brand, and gluten free to boot!

EATABLE

Strawberries & champagne popcorn

A celebratory flavour to complement a celebratory occasion! EATABLE, a husband and wife team, create indulgent snacks to be the heart of everyday celebrations with loved ones. @eatableinc
Happy Hippo

Pink shower spritzer

An opportunity for new homeowners to elevate an everyday experience, like having a shower, and make it feel special. Starting off in Alberta creating products that were safe and fun for their kids to use, Happy Hippo crafts products that bring them happiness when they use them. @happyhippobathco
May You Know Joy

"Celebrating You" cards

These affirmation cards encourage recipients to practice mental wellness and celebrate themselves, and their new home, daily. Created by Adrienne Enns, May You Know Joy advocates that self-care and mindful living can be simple, daily practices. @mayyouknowjoy

Personalized doormats

Customized with the homeowner's family name and year they took possession, this is a warm welcome made special for the recipient, and a happy reminder of their successful homebuying experience that they encounter daily.

Mindful that not all of their clients are tickled pink by, well, pink, we worked with Raspberry Realty to include a number of Oilers-themed game night giftboxes to ensure no client felt overlooked or forgotten (three cheers for Raspberry Realty for prioritizing the receiver, not the gift giver!).

The cherry raspberry on top

Beyond gathering considerate, useful, and delicious gifts, we wanted to give Raspberry Realty lots of opportunities to showcase their bold, stylish brand. In addition to featuring their logo throughout the giftbox (see pictured their branded gift tags, closure stickers, and stationary), we included QR codes linked to their review page to present an aesthetic, low-effort call to action to their clients, encouraging a continued relationship and future referrals. And, of course, we went wild with the pink! Right down to the crinkle paper that cushioned the bespoke selection of goodies, Raspberry Realty Group's signature pink put a bow on their collaboration with Gray Jay Gifts—literally.
