Artisan gifting, design and branding, crafted with care in Pretoria since 2005.
Established in 2005, Scarlet Thread Designs & Gifts began as a personalised corporate gifting and design company based in Pretoria, South Africa. What started as a bespoke gifting service for a handful of corporate clients has grown into a full-service branding, corporate gifting, and design company, with an expanding in-house branding division.
For over 20 years, we have built our reputation on delivering exceptional service, creative solutions, and dependable execution. Today, we proudly partner with businesses of all sizes, supplying a diverse range of branded merchandise, corporate gifts, promotional products, apparel, and custom branding solutions.
We believe corporate gifting is an art form. It is about creating meaningful experiences, strengthening relationships, and leaving a lasting impression. But beautiful products alone are not enough. We place equal importance on meticulous planning, flawless execution, and reliable logistics, ensuring every project is delivered seamlessly from concept to completion.
Our clients trust us to take ownership of the entire process, giving them complete peace of mind. From sourcing and design to branding, packaging, and nationwide delivery, we make corporate gifting effortless, so our clients can focus on what matters most while we bring their vision to life.

We add magic to everything we do, so every client is delighted by our handiwork.
