Corporate Gifts from Miami: 12 Local Ideas That Beat Another Logo Tumbler
Finding a corporate gift in Miami should be easy. But much of what comes up for “corporate gifts Miami” is the same generic gift basket you can order anywhere.
If you’d rather send something that actually feels local, here are 12 real Miami businesses to order from and support.
1. Banana Daddy
Midtown Miami’s home for banana-coconut soft serve, scratch-made bakery, coffee, and matcha. Order a boxed assortment of our gluten-free bakery items online for local pickup or delivery; think Blackout Brownies, Ooey Gooey Cake, and Chunky Monkey Cookies. Boxes come in different sizes to fit your budget.
Our kitchen is 100% dedicated gluten-free. No gluten-containing ingredients are prepared there.
2. Cindy Lou’s Cookies
A Miami bakery known for big, handmade cookies. The founder trained as a pastry chef at the Culinary Institute of America. Cookie boxes ship nationwide, so a client in another city gets the same box as one down the street.
3. Joe’s Stone Crab
Joe Weiss opened this Miami Beach institution in 1913, and it’s drawn a crowd since. Fresh-caught stone crab claws ship nationwide during Florida’s stone crab season, mid-October through early May. It’s the real Miami seafood experience, delivered to a client’s door.
4. Doggi’s Arepa Bar
A Venezuelan restaurant with several Miami locations. Corporate lunch catering includes arepas, tequeños, and cachapas, a welcome break from another sandwich platter.
5. Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop
Founded by an off-duty Miami firefighter. The no-bake Key Lime Pie ships nationwide in an insulated box and serves 6 to 8 people.
6. Versailles Restaurant
Little Havana’s most famous Cuban restaurant caters to office groups of 15 or more. Order pastelitos, croquetas, and café Cubano by the box. It’s a genuine taste of Miami instead of a generic snack tray.
7. Ben B Coco
A Wynwood chocolate shop started by Benjamin Fogel. Kosher, gluten-free, and vegan options are available, and orders ship nationwide.
8. Miami Mixed Media
This Miami print shop handles custom screen printing, embroidery, and merch design in-house. It’s a better branded option than a dropshipped tumbler with a logo slapped on it.
9. Miami Cooks by Sara Liss
A hardcover cookbook with 70 recipes from Miami’s own restaurants. Written by a longtime Miami food writer, it’s a gift for the client who wants to bring a piece of the city home with them.
10. Pup & Pantry
A Miami Shores dog treat maker, a gift idea for the client with an office dog. Soft, chewy treats made with simple ingredients, free of wheat, corn, and soy.
11. Vinya Wine
A Miami wine and spirits shop with locations in Key Biscayne and Coral Gables. Bottles range from everyday to serious splurge, most released through a rotating club drop. A good option when a client’s list calls for a drink instead of food.
12. Garcia Nevett
A South Miami chocolate shop using single-origin, fair-trade Venezuelan cacao. The Petite Gourmet Chocolate Box holds 9 pieces and ships in 3 to 5 days.
FAQ
Do these businesses ship outside of Miami?
Some do. Joe’s Stone Crab, Garcia Nevett, Cindy Lou’s Cookies, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop, and Ben B Coco all ship nationwide.
Versailles, Doggi’s, Vinya Wine, and Pup & Pantry are set up for local Miami orders. Banana Daddy is too, and for orders outside Miami, confirm availability with the Banana Daddy catering team.
Check with each business directly if your client list stretches outside the city.
How far ahead should I order for the holidays?
Earlier is safer across the board, especially for a long client list or a business that ships nationwide. Contact each business directly to confirm their cutoff dates for the season.
Are any of these options gluten-free or allergy-friendly?
Banana Daddy’s kitchen is 100% dedicated gluten-free, and no gluten-containing ingredients are prepared there. A few other businesses here, including Ben B Coco, list gluten-free or vegan options too, but confirm directly with each one before ordering for a client with a restriction.
Can Banana Daddy help me build a custom gift box instead of picking from this list?
Yes. Share your budget and headcount with our catering team, and we will help you land on a box built from our own menu.
Skip the Tumbler This Year
A logo tumbler goes in a drawer. A box of pastelitos, a stone crab claw, or a fresh bakery gift box invites a memory and an experience. Building a Miami-made gift list takes a few extra clicks, not a few extra weeks.
