Fall in New England is full of life (it's literally my FAVORITE time of year!) crisp mornings, golden leaves, and weekends spent celebrating milestones, creating memories with friends & family and enjoying some much needed me time. For Planners, it’s more than apple cider and cozy sweaters. Fall means juggling personal life, back-to-back weddings and corporate events while also welcoming a wave of new inquiries from couples. It’s exciting… but it’s also a lot.

That’s where gifting comes in. Handled early, it becomes one less thing on your overflowing to-do list and one more way to elevate the client experience.

Hospitality-First Gifting: More Than a Box

At Lavender + Pine, we believe gifts should feel like an extension of hospitality. They aren’t just things in a box, they’re moments of comfort and connection.

Think of…

• A cozy morning with tea and scones shared in a quiet kitchen.

• A pancake breakfast with maple syrup that makes a family weekend extra special.

• A curated set of spices or olive oil that inspires gathering around the table.

• A custom welcome gift that showcases local baked goods for your guests who aren't from New England (our favorite add-on are seasonal homemade pop-tarts by The Po Cafe and yes they are as amazing as they sound!)

When you send these kinds of gifts to your clients or guests, you’re not just giving an item you’re inviting them into a feeling. One that says, “You’re seen, you’re valued, and you’re more than welcome here.”

Why Early Planning Matters

Planners know timing is everything. Gifting is no exception.

• For Events: booking gifts 6–8+ weeks in advance ensures that everything is sourced, stocked, and ready without last-minute rush fees or inventory hiccups.

• For Holiday/Christmas Gifting: booking 2–3 months out guarantees pre-Christmas delivery so your gifts arrive exactly when they’re meant to.

By planning ahead, you create breathing room. You know your gifts will be handled, your clients will feel cared for, and you won’t find yourself scrambling during the busiest time of the year and using your cherished free time handling something that can easily be passed on to us!

Ease Is the Greatest Luxury

Planners deserve to relax during the holidays, not worry about sourcing client gifts. When you book early, you’re giving yourself that gift of ease. And because we’re committed to details that matter, Custom projects booked 2–3 months ahead of when they need to be shipped out include complimentary packaging upgrades like custom tags and notecards that take your gifting to the next level.

It’s not about adding more to your plate. It’s about taking something off your plate, so you can focus on the parts of your work that truly need you.
