Loop & Tie Founder & CEO
What’s the value of gifting done differently?
Loop & Tie was founded in 2013 with a mission to connect gifting with giving for a positive impact.
40% of corporate gifts received end up in landfills.
We do it differently.
Traditional corporate gifting relies on a one-size-fits-all approach…that rarely fits all. Letting recipients pick their own gift creates a more impactful, personalized experience that’s better for the givers and receivers.
From the environmental impact of manufacturing and delivering mass goods to the astronomical spending, corporate gifting has a reputation for being wasteful. But smarter choices mean corporate gifting can do more good than harm.
Gifting can be more than a transactional relationship – it’s a vehicle for stronger communities. Intentional corporate gifting supports small businesses, makers from historically marginalized communities, and high-impact charities to create a positive ripple effect.
What sustainable gifting means to us.
From reusable gift packaging to a carbon regeneration program, givers help restore our planet one gift at a time.
Every gift creates an opportunity to support charities, non-profits, and causes that matter most to gifters and recipients.
Sourcing gifts from small makers and artisans means more dollars go directly into local economies, not large corporations.
