I started Hit the Spot Treats because I learned firsthand that a thank-you gift should never feel ordinary.

While running Pete’s Plumbing & Heating, our family-owned service business, I sent a client a $200 flower arrangement after a bathroom remodel to show my appreciation. When my husband, the master plumber, saw it, he said it looked just “okay” and not like a $200 gift.

I was devastated.

That gift did not reflect how grateful I truly felt. It did not feel personal, memorable, or special enough for the relationship we had built with that client.

That moment stayed with me.

I knew there had to be a better way to help businesses thank their clients in a way that felt thoughtful, polished, and meaningful. That is how Hit the Spot Treats was born.

Today, I still run Pete’s Plumbing & Heating while also helping other businesses strengthen client relationships through Hit the Spot Treats.

Every Gratitude Box is designed to help you make the recipient feel valued. Each box includes gourmet treats, a personal message, a gratitude activity, and our signature black and gold packaging, all created to make gifting simple and memorable.

Giving back is also an important part of our mission. With every gift sold, we make a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in loving memory of our family members, Salvatore Salamone and Letizia Reynolds.

They were two very special people in our lives who faced MS with strength, love, and positivity. They helped create the Celebration of Life yearly fundraiser and donated thousands of dollars in hopes of finding a cure. Through Hit the Spot Treats, we are proud to continue their legacy and support the vision of a world free of MS.

My hope is that every Gratitude Box creates a butterfly effect of positivity, helping people feel appreciated, remembered, and celebrated.

Because Gratitude should never be generic.

It should Hit the Spot.
