Gift sets for retail – How to create attractive sets

Gift sets are among the strongest sales drivers in retail – and for good reason. They increase basket value, encourage impulse purchases and are ideal for seasonal promotions such as Christmas, Mother’s Day, Easter or local markets. DIY sets are particularly popular, as they bring low production costs, can be designed individually and allow retailers to present their own products – whether liqueur, oil, syrup, essences or spice blends – in an appealing way.

To help you create professional sets, we offer a wide range of bottles, jars, miniature bottles, accessories and labels, enabling you to assemble high-quality gift sets with ease.

Which products are suitable for gift sets?

For beverage producers: Attractive tasting sets to support sales

Smaller producers in particular benefit from well‑designed beverage sets. Tasting sets made from 3 to 5 miniature bottles (50 ml) are especially popular in retail – an ideal way to showcase different varieties and win new customers.

Suitable products:

• Glass bottles for liqueur and spirits: From round to square and stackable designs.
• Decorative screw caps and handle corks: For a refined appearance and secure closure.
• Tasting and serving accessories: Such as small tasting glasses – ideal for markets or sampling stations.
• Customisable labels: Suitable for branding, product information or seasonal designs.

This combination enables beverage manufacturers to create bespoke, visually appealing tasting sets that stand out in stores and make it easier for customers to discover new varieties.
