At You Need a BBQ, we love bringing bold flavour and local pride together and our latest project with Vertex was no exception. Vertex was looking for a unique, memorable gift for their clients and partners, and we delivered something truly special: a fully custom Yonedas seasoning gift set that’s as distinctive as the brand itself.
Each box featured two of our top-performing Yonedas Premium Seasonings, paired with a rich, locally crafted Mountain Pass Whisky Sauce made with real Alberta whisky. These flavour-packed selections were curated to represent the best of Alberta BBQ smoky, sweet, spicy, and unforgettable.
But it didn’t stop there.
To elevate the unboxing experience, we designed a custom printed gift box with a woodgrain theme that tied it all together. From the outside in, this gift set told a story of craftsmanship, flavour, and local collaboration.
Why It Worked:
Local Love: Featuring an Alberta-made whisky sauce added a layer of local pride that resonated with recipients.
Custom Packaging: The branded wood-look box gave the set a rustic, elevated feel perfect for BBQ lovers.
Flavour Experience: With two hand-picked seasonings and a unique sauce, each gift encouraged experimentation, enjoyment, and good food.
We’re proud of how this project turned out and even prouder to partner with companies like Vertex who value quality, creativity, and community.
