At Dusky Lark, we don’t claim to be an outdoors company. We don’t sell fire pits, we don’t build hot tubs, and we don’t manufacture grills.
But when a returning client comes back for the 3rd year in a row, asking us to create a fully customized outdoor-inspired gift set for their customers, it becomes clear: we may not be in the outdoor industry - but we definitely create some of the best outdoorsy gift boxes you can find.
And the results speak for themselves.
A Returning Corporate Client With a Vision
This fall, we received an email from Alderwood Landscaping, one of our valued returning partners who trusts us each year with their corporate holiday gift boxes.
Their message made our day:
“I’m looking at our 2025 client Christmas gifts and hoping to choose Dusky Lark again like the past several years. Would it be possible to customize what goes inside instead of selecting your preset options?”
This is exactly the kind of work we love - custom corporate gift design where we take a theme and bring it to life through thoughtful, artisan-made items.
Alderwood wanted:
-
an outdoor living gift box,
-
something centered around fire pits, grilling, cozy outdoor nights,
-
and items perfect for clients with new hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, and backyard sitting areas.
They also shared a wishlist that helped us curate something extraordinary:
-
aromatherapy spa salts,
-
waterproof playing cards,
-
cocoa,
-
potpourri,
-
blankets,
-
grilling spices,
-
a showpiece lighter,
-
and anything else that evoked elevated outdoor living.
With one important guideline: no alcohol-related items.
Curating the Perfect Outdoor-Themed Gift Box
What we love most about bespoke gifting is the creative freedom. We source from small artisan makers, eco-conscious brands, and specialty suppliers to build truly memorable custom client gift boxes.
After research and sourcing, we curated the perfect luxury outdoor gift set for Alderwood’s clients:
-
Waterproof playing cards – ideal for hot tub decks and outdoor games.
-
Bagged potpourri – a clean, natural scent that elevates any outdoor space.
-
A luxe fire-pit lighter – the kind of elegant, high-end lighter you'd expect to see in a mountain lodge or a modern cabin.
-
Tartan wool blanket – classic, warm, and perfect for evenings spent outside.
-
S’mores popcorn – all the flavor of campfire treats without the sticky marshmallow cleanup.
-
The Food and Fire Cookbook – a beautifully illustrated guide to open-flame cooking and outdoor cuisine.
This wasn’t just a gift box. It was an experience - a curated collection designed for cozy nights, outdoor gatherings, and memorable moments spent around the fire.
