Working with Brittany to get the cube design how we wanted it was easy, and she had some good suggestions on how to improve it. And the cubes we received were great - they looked good, the wood had a nice satiny finish to it, and they had a nice weight. We will definitely come back for future projects!
So glad our designer, Brittany, was able to take your Core Values Statement Blocks to the 'next level', Derek! We look forward to creating for you again in the future!
Our team appreciated these culture statement blocks and loves the practical reminders they carry.
Thank you for sharing, Wendy! We are happy your custom engraved blocks were just what your team was looking for to reinforce your culture and your values. :)
Core Values Statement Display Block™
Thanks for your 5-star review, Jianna. We're so happy you like your custom engraved blocks!
The product was exactly what we were seeking to recognize our staff that go above and beyond.
Smiling Tree Gifts created 150 beautiful core values blocks for our company. They were able to produce and deliver in a short timeframe. The entire team was great to work with!
Smiling Tree is a great company to work with, and the final blocks are very high quality. We personalized them to serve as commemorative award gifts for a completed project. Brittany was always quick to get back to me with suggestions regarding legibility and helped to fix my imperfect SVG files. And once ordered, the blocks arrived earlier than promised. If I could give 10 stars, I'd give 10.
So kind of you David, thank you! We're thrilled you were happy with not only the finished Core Values Blocks, but also Brittany's attention to all the little details. She is so very good at that :) We appreciate you choosing to support our small business!
These blocks are absolutely gorgeous! They are so well made and will be the perfect gift for our associates going through leadership training. The quality and craftsmanship is amazing! I highly recommend these blocks!
Wonderful! We are so pleased you are happy with the quality and craftsmanship. We hope your leadership training graduates have enjoyed receiving them!
These blocks are beautiful and were exactly what we wanted for our Board of Directors. The customer service was amazing. They worked with us to make sure that placement and fonts coordinated well and matched our organizational branding. Definitely would order again!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Core Values Statement Display Block™ for your Board of Directors. We're thrilled to hear that you are happy with the product and our service. Thanks again, Kenna!
These were so nicely done. We did them for our church staff with our values on each side as a reminder on what we strive to be. We roll them like dice and focus on the value that shows.
This turned out absolutely amazing! Way better than I thought they would turn out…Great Job!!
We purchased the Core Values Blocks as year-end employee gifts, and they turned out better than we could have imagined! The engraving was perfect, and we loved how no two looked exactly alike. The feedback from our employees was universally positive.
So glad I stumbled upon this little company on my hunt for corporate gifts! I love supporting small businesses and I'm also a Minnesota native! The customer service I received was top notch and even though I put the order in last minute it was completed and shipped to me in time for Christmas! I was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. Looking forward to doing future business with Smiling Tree Gifts. Happy New Year!
The Core Values block you created for our company is a HUGE success! I've received emails from almost every staff member with kudos... they LOVE the blocks and so do I. The craftsmanship is spectacular- our logo is absolutely spot on and the other sides with the core values are great as well! Your team was wonderful to work with and truly made the process very easy- even with a very last-minute change. Thank you!
The display blocks were the perfect gift for my work team to have on their desk as a reminder of our core values as leaders! The quality of wood and design are unbeatable. Truly enjoyed working with Smiling Tree Gifts - easy to communicate with, fast responses and quick shipping! We will absolutely be using them again in the future.
I ordered a few of these blocks for a department gift. Everything from the time I placed the order to when we received the blocks was great. Brittany was extremely helpful and reached out immediately with a proof to review. She worked with the production team, and they were able to produce & ship the product well before the deadline. The blocks are beautifully made, and you can tell a lot of care went into them. I will definitely be ordering from Smiling Tree in the future. Thank you!
I was concern the blocks would not be sent on time. I was kept update on the status of the order and they delivered as promised. Product was exactly as promoted. Very Happy !
The blocks are great; we gave some out at a recent board meeting and everyone loved them. The team at Smiling Tree gifts were very helpful in making sure they arrived on time. Highly recommend!
Our Leadership team sometimes has big ideas at 2am a few days/weeks before an event that we need help executing quickly. We were so pleased that these blocks were exactly as expected, perfectly done, and came in on time even with a short lead time. Thank you so much!! Our team loved them!
I just placed our 3rd order of these cubes. Employees love them! As a remote company, they're a great way to show pride and a unique reminder of our values.
What a uniquely way to show appreciation! From the initial contact, the professionalism and customer service was amazing. Being walked through the design process, receiving the proofs, every step was seamless. Oh and did I mention that I needed them rushed? And they arrived and I couldn't have been more pleased. I can't wait to order for next year!
My team loved these and they are proudly sitting on our desks.
THANK YOU deeply for the turnaround time and the quality of the work. I appreciate you all so much.Thanks SO MUCH!
My organization was looking for giveaways that could be presented to Senior Leadership team and that's when we came across the Value Cube by Smiling Tree Gifts. I quickly connected with Kathleen, Brittany & team and informed them of the rush order. Designs were sent in by the team very next day and they worked with me to ensure that the cubes looked exactly how I wanted it to be.
What I was totally wowed by was the fact that the order was ready before the anticipated time and already on its way for our program - appreciate the fast TAT :)
The quality of the cube was excellent! This was well-like & appreciated by our Senior Leadership team that we have received requests to order few more cubes.
Thank you Kathleen, Brittany & team for your professionalism, quick turn around time and excellence in what you do, this is greatly appreciated.
The core values blocks were perfect for a corporate gift. The time to generate the proof and overall shipment time was much quicker than anticipated. Brittany was extremely helpful. We look forward to working with Smiling Tree Gifts in the future!
Beautiful gift for my hard-working volunteers! Exactly how I ordered, prompt communication, delivered 2 days before promised delivery, & looks just as it did in the proof! Would work with this company again for sure!
Smiling Tree Gifts is such a great find. Excellent product, quick shipping and the best customer service in the biz! They keep making me look good here! haha
We are so happy with the finished product!! They look so great - we had 6 core values, one for each side, and they fit the logo on the top side as well!! Everyone in the office has been saying how nice they came out. Totally recommend if you are looking for a unique way to push core values in your office!
We received our order and LOVE them! Thank you SO much for being so easy to work with and for delivering the product so quickly.
we received our order last week and we are in love with them. Thank you for your attention to detail. ..even our non-vectorized logo turned out great. We'll be giving them out at our employee summer BBQ in a couple of weeks.
Smiling Tree Gifts was easy to work with and very helpful in getting our blocks exactly to our liking. They arrived on schedule and in great condition.
The entire team at Smiling Tree was wonderful to work with. Every detail was thought out and we could not be happier with the final blocks we received!
