When planning an event—be it a corporate meet, an award function, or a community gathering—mementos and trophies often come as an afterthought. Many organizers turn to ready-made options that are quick to print and distribute. The usual routine? Buy generic pieces in bulk, stick on a logo and a name, and hand them over. Simple, convenient, done.
But here’s something to think about.
For the people receiving them, mementos aren’t just table décor. They’re tokens of appreciation. Proof of recognition. A gesture that says, “You matter.” At Takshan Creatives, we believe that something carrying that much meaning deserves more than a sticker on plastic.
Why Go Custom?
Custom-made mementos bring thoughtfulness into the picture. A personalized design shows effort, intention, and care. It tells the recipient that you didn’t just hand out a generic piece—you created something for them, because of them. This adds emotional value and leaves a lasting impression.
Whether it’s a trophy shaped around your event theme or a wooden plaque engraved with a special message, a custom memento becomes a memorable part of the occasion—not just a formality.
Planning Ahead Matters
We’ve noticed that most clients approach us at the last minute, simply because they’re used to ready-to-go mementos. But custom manufacturing is different. It’s not an overnight job.
The process involves:
- Conceptualization – Understanding your event, its tone, and the people involved
- Design – Creating a unique form, selecting materials, and refining details
- Production – Crafting, assembling, polishing, and packaging
Each step takes time—especially when working with eco-friendly wooden mementos, one of our specialties. Preparing and finishing wood involves multiple stages like curing, cutting, sanding, engraving, and final polishing. But trust us, the result is always worth it.
What Sets Us Apart
At Takshan Creatives, we treat each memento project as a creative collaboration. We don’t believe in mass-produced appreciation. We believe in meaningful recognition, and we bring this belief to life with every piece we create.
Whether you’re looking for elegant corporate awards, quirky team mementos, or handcrafted wooden keepsakes, we’re here to turn your ideas into tangible symbols of gratitude.
🛠️ Sample Project Showcase: Kudumbashree Mission – Kerala State Annual Festival, Kottayam
One of our most recent and memorable projects was for the Kudumbashree Mission’s Kerala State Annual Festival, held in the prestigious city of Kottayam—fondly known as the City of Letters. The entire event was thoughtfully themed around literature, culture, and identity, and the organizers wanted the mementos to reflect this vision.
After in-depth discussions, we arrived at a unique concept:
✅ Signature mementos carved in the shape of the event name itself, paying tribute to Kottayam’s legacy
✅ Crafted entirely from eco-friendly wood, in line with the mission’s sustainable values
✅ Each piece was hand-finished for elegance and durability
In total, we created 800 custom wooden mementos, each one embodying the spirit of the event.
We also had the privilege of designing a special rolling trophy—a one-of-a-kind creation that will be passed on annually, continuing the legacy of the event in style and substance.
The feedback from both organizers and recipients was overwhelming. The mementos weren’t just appreciated—they were cherished.
The organizers told us these were the most talked-about elements of the event!
