TL;DR / Summary: Singapore companies are increasingly combining gifting and catering into a single order rather than managing them as two separate vendor relationships. This guide looks at how Shiok Kitchen Catering's Gifting & BBQ range naturally supports this bundled approach, and why it's becoming a smarter way to plan corporate events.
Why Gifting and Catering Are Converging
For years, corporate gifting and event catering have typically run as two separate workstreams — a gifting vendor for hampers and client presents, a caterer for the actual event food. That split creates real friction: two vendors to brief, two timelines to manage, two invoices to reconcile, and often two very different aesthetics that don't quite match when they show up at the same event.
The shift toward bundling gifting and catering under one provider solves a genuinely practical problem. When a single company handles both the food on the table and the gifts guests take home, the whole experience feels more coordinated — and the planning process on the buyer's side gets noticeably simpler.

Gifting & BBQ
Shiok Kitchen Catering's Gifting & BBQ range is built around exactly this kind of combined offering, giving companies a single point of contact for both the catering and the gifting elements of an event.

- BBQ Packages that scale with add-ons. BBQ Packages are designed for customers who prefer a fuss-free and customisable way of ordering — customers can opt for a BBQ Package as a base and add on more food via the Ala-Carte page, making it easy to bundle a full team event around a single core package.
- Gift boxes with customisable labels, alongside the event itself. Delicate mini bites, hand-crafted by the chef team, are packed into gift boxes that can be created as thematic sets with customisable labels — a natural pairing for a corporate event where guests both eat on-site and take something home.
- Dessert Tables and grazing tables as shared centrepieces. Rather than treating dessert or presentation as an afterthought, a Dessert Table or grazing table becomes both part of the catering and part of the overall gifting experience at an event.
- Tea Reception Menus across Sweets, Savoury, and Sandwiches. This gives companies a flexible base to build a combined catering-and-gifting spread that suits both a working reception and a take-home element.

Why This Bundled Approach Is Gaining Traction in Singapore
Simplified vendor management. One point of contact for both gifting and catering means one briefing conversation, one timeline, and one invoice — a real time-saver for HR, marketing, or events teams juggling multiple priorities.
A more cohesive guest experience. When the food and the gifts come from the same source, there's a natural consistency in quality and presentation that's harder to achieve when two separate vendors are involved.
More efficient budgeting. Combining gifting and catering into a single quote gives finance teams a clearer, consolidated view of event costs, rather than reconciling two separate vendor invoices against the same event budget.
Flexibility to scale up or down. With BBQ Packages designed as a customisable base plus ala-carte add-ons, companies can start with a core package and build outward — whether that means adding more food, more gifting elements, or both.
How to Plan a Bundled Gifting and Catering Order
Step 1: Identify your event's dual purpose. Determine upfront whether your event needs both a catering component and a take-home gifting element, so you can brief a single vendor on both from the outset.
Step 2: Start with a base package and build outward. Using a BBQ Package or core catering order as your foundation, add gift boxes, a Dessert Table, or grazing table as complementary elements rather than sourcing them separately.
Step 3: Align your branding across both elements. If your gift boxes use customisable labels, coordinate this with your event's overall presentation so the catering and gifting feel like part of the same experience, not two disconnected touches.
Step 4: Consolidate your budget conversation. Ask for a single combined quote covering both catering and gifting elements, making it easier to compare against your overall event budget.
Step 5: Book with enough lead time for both elements. Gifting components like customisable gift boxes may need more lead time for design and production than catering alone — plan your booking timeline around the longer of the two requirements.
