About The Ruzek Family

Southern Gifting Company is a Nashville-based corporate gifting and event activation company founded by the Ruzek family.

Founded in 2007 as Beci’s Bags & Baskets, Southern Gifting Company was born from a mother’s vision to create meaningful gifts while building a life rooted in family. Founder Beci Ruzek set out to blend her love of creative gifting with the flexibility to be present for her son, Connor. Alongside her husband, Boris, she grew what began as a small local business into a trusted name in corporate gifting and live event activations in Nashville, Tennessee.

Today, Southern Gifting Company is a woman-owned and veteran-owned, family-operated business serving corporate clients, meeting planners, and event professionals throughout Tennessee and across the lower 48 states. While the company has grown, its foundation remains unchanged: every gift should tell a story and every experience should feel personal.

We specialize in custom corporate gifts, curated gifting experiences, and on-site gifting activations, including live engraving and interactive experience bars for conferences, meetings, weddings, brand events, and corporate celebrations. Our team works closely with each client to understand their goals, brand, and audience, ensuring every detail is intentional and every gift leaves a lasting impression.

From intimate gatherings to large-scale corporate events, we are known for our attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, and hands-on service. Clients return to us year after year because they trust that every gift we create reflects care, creativity, and purpose.

At Southern Gifting Company, we believe meaningful connections are built through thoughtful moments. Every package, activation, and personalized touch is more than a gift. It’s a conversation starter, a shared experience, and a memory that lingers long after the event ends.
