In today's travel industry, the visitor experience goes beyond sightseeing—it also encompasses the souvenirs and cultural memories they take home. GlobeVista Travel, a company focusing on the Southeast Asian tourism market, realized that traditional souvenirs could no longer satisfy travelers' demands for unique experiences and environmentally friendly products. They sought to elevate their brand recall among visitors by offering innovative custom gifts that reflect both cultural richness and eco-conscious values.
Faced with this challenge, M&Y partnered with GlobeVista Travel to design and produce a custom series of jarred scented candles that combined cultural elements, sustainability, and high-quality craftsmanship, successfully enhancing the client's brand identity while delighting tourists.

1. Client Background and Needs
GlobeVista Travel is an international travel company specializing in Southeast Asia, dedicated to providing unique and high-quality travel experiences. As the company expanded in this highly competitive market, it encountered several challenges:
● Lack of differentiated brand touchpoints
Standard souvenirs were too generic to convey the unique culture and brand image of GlobeVista Travel.
● Sustainability and environmental concerns
Modern travelers increasingly value eco-friendly products. Non-sustainable souvenirs could undermine the company's green image.
● Limited incorporation of local cultural elements
Southeast Asia has rich cultural diversity, yet existing souvenirs were standardized and failed to reflect the region's heritage.
Given these challenges, GlobeVista Travel needed a partner capable of delivering creative designs, sustainable materials, and culturally relevant custom solutions. M&Y, with extensive experience in custom gifts and a deep understanding of cultural aesthetics, proved to be the ideal collaborator.
2. M&Y's Solution
To meet the client's requirements, M&Y proposed a comprehensive custom gift solution: the jarred scented candle series. The project design focused not only on product functionality but also on integrating brand identity, sustainability, and cultural characteristics. Key solution elements included:
● Product Design and Creativity
M&Y conducted market research and combined Southeast Asian cultural elements with tourist souvenir trends to create the custom jarred candle series. Highlights include:
Exterior design: Each candle jar features Southeast Asian-inspired patterns, including tropical plants, traditional motifs, and iconic architecture, giving the product both artistic and commemorative value.
Brand integration: GlobeVista Travel's branding is subtly incorporated, ensuring strong brand recall for visitors.
● Customized Fragrance Formulation
To enhance the user experience, M&Y developed specially formulated scents:
Relaxation and sleep support: Natural essential oils were used to help tourists relax and improve sleep quality.
Wellness benefits: The fragrance can also be used at home, extending the visitor's experience with the brand.
● Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness
M&Y emphasized environmental responsibility:
Materials: Renewable wax and recyclable jars were used to minimize environmental impact.
Packaging: Lightweight, reusable, or recyclable designs aligned with green travel principles.

Throughout production, M&Y maintained strict quality control:

Mass production: Precision manufacturing guaranteed consistent product quality.
Inspection and delivery: Every candle passed rigorous quality checks and was delivered on schedule.
3. Implementation Process
The project was executed in three main stages:
Design Stage
M&Y produced multiple design concepts, including jar patterns, fragrance options, and packaging mockups. After feedback and refinements, the final design aligned perfectly with GlobeVista Travel's brand positioning.
