Experiential Gifting Elevated: How Mint Collective Designs High-Touch Customization Bars for Modern Events

Experiential gifting has quickly evolved into the new standard for premium brand engagement—and Mint Collective is at the forefront of this shift. As a first-in-class experiential design agency, we build high-touch gifting activations that feel immersive, intentional, and elevated from every angle.

Guests don’t simply receive a gift. They participate in the craftsmanship, the storytelling, and the moment.

Explore some of our favorite experiential gifting activations.

Whether the goal is to build brand affinity, reward top performers, or create a moment guests cannot stop talking about, Mint Collective designs experiences that are modern, immersive, and strategically aligned with your brand vision.

Why Experiential Gifting Works

Gifting is no longer transactional. Today’s audiences want connection, craft, and meaning—and brands are responding with experiences that feel personal, intentional, and participatory.

High-touch customization delivers that impact through:

• Real-time craftsmanship guests can see, feel, and remember

• Personalized keepsakes that extend the brand experience long after the event

• Immersive design that elevates the moment and creates social-ready content

• Engagement that builds emotional resonance and brand loyalty

Brands across hospitality, tech, fashion, wellness, outdoor lifestyle, and corporate events leverage our experiential gifting bars to deepen relationships and drive authentic connection.
