150 Custom Knight Burners for Tech Retreat in Singapore
The Client's Vision of Mindful Leadership
A global technology company with regional headquarters in Singapore organised an executive retreat for 150 senior leaders from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They wanted a corporate gift that would inspire reflection and align with their leadership philosophy – balancing strength with mindfulness. The knight incense burner was chosen for its symbolic representation of the warrior's inner calm. The client required laser engraving of their corporate emblem on the base, a custom sandalwood and cedarwood incense blend, and personalised welcome notes – all within a four-week timeline.
Design and Customisation Process
Our design team created a sophisticated gift box in dark grey with gold foil accents, complementing the company's brand colours. We produced three sample sets to test engraving depth on walnut, incense burn time, and box construction. The sample available service allowed the client's HR team to evaluate the tactile quality and overall aesthetic before approving the bulk order. We also designed a custom insert card with a mindfulness quote and a brief history of the knight symbol.
Production and Quality Assurance
With a company order of 150 sets confirmed, our local factory initiated production. We enforced rigorous quality checks – from wood selection and carving precision to brass polishing and incense blending. The minimum order 50pcs was exceeded, and we structured a tiered bulk discount that fitted their budget corporate gift allocation. Weekly photo updates were sent to the client's procurement team in Malaysia and the Philippines, ensuring full transparency.
Custom Packaging and Personalised Touches
Each gift box was individually printed with the executive's name and a thank-you note from the CEO. We used recycled cardboard and plant-based inks for the outer sleeve, meeting the client's ESG eco corporate gift criteria. Inside, the knight figurine was nestled in a custom foam cutout, and the incense sticks were placed in a separate satin pouch. The unboxing was designed to be a moment of calm – slow, deliberate, and inspiring – aligning with the retreat's mindfulness theme.
Logistics and On-Time Delivery
We coordinated with our logistics partner to ensure fast bulk delivery to the retreat venue in Singapore, with additional shipments to the client's regional offices in Thailand and Indonesia for post-retreat distribution. The consignment arrived two days before the event, allowing the organisers to inspect and prepare the gift stations. We also provided extra sets for contingencies.
Results and Client Testimonial
The retreat was a transformative experience, and the gift sets were among the most discussed elements. Executives were captivated by the burner's design and the smoke effect – many placed them in their offices and shared photos on internal channels. The client's chief people officer noted a significant increase in post-retreat engagement scores. Within two months, we received a reorder corporate gift with new logo for their Christmas client gift campaign – this time with a festive cinnamon blend – along with referrals to two partner companies in Vietnam and Brunei.
