So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Social And Eco Gifts Showing You Are Different

By Betty Smyth

It takes a slightly bit more energy and time but it's worth it to give eco-friendly or social corporate gifts instead of the popular run-of-the-mill-drain-the-environment corporate gifts that are the commercial gift fodder for numerous companies.

When you're rewarding hardworking employees and respected clients with environmentally friendly or socially friendly corporate gifts, you are also encouraging a green lifestyle that shows your business cares about our earth and the less advantaged people so more will naturally treasure the gift.

Of course the best type of eco gift is one where you do not in fact give anything! There are umpteen such gift options now available such as Buy1GIVE1, Kiva and Change The Present.

When you use eco-friendly corporate gifts it is always important to consider your receiver. You'll want to choose a gift that represents the gratitude you feel. Whether its for saying thank you for staying in the office late to meet tight deadlines or running that extra mile to close a sales deal, your team members dedicated their valuable time to the improve your business. So the extra effort needed to create a special eco-gift or social gift is fitting considering the reason why you want to give the gift in the first place.

More and more customers and employees value something that gives twice. They experience the greatest gift in knowing that a child, the environment, a school or other impressive causes have benefited because of them.

Several years ago no one would have thought that giving to a charity cause in the name of one of your customers or staff would be considered a meaningful gift. Well thankfully times have changed! Customers are seeking beyond material commodities these days and are wanting for new meaning in their work and life. Eco and Social gifts can be amazing presents.

Change the Present is a charity organisation that allows you to transform our world while giving to others. Just Google them to find out more.

Buy1GIVE1 is a special Singapore based organization that allows you as a business to give every time you sell something. This sensational concept of what they call transaction based giving is SO powerful when you know that you can share the joy of giving with your customers and staff - everyone can be involved. Again Google them to find them under Buy1GIVE1 or B1G1.
