Regifting – it’s a taboo subject, but we are going there. The question, “Is it ever acceptable to regift?” it’s tricky. The answer is…sometimes.

They walk through what childcare would look like and they realize that in order for them both to work their 9am-6pm corporate jobs their child [...]

Do Your Corporate Gifts Line Up with Your Company Values?

What you purchase your clients and employees speaks volumes. The big question is – what are your gifts saying? Do they say you care about the environment?

Before you purchase corporate gifts, here are some of the questions you should ask yourself: What are your business’ core values? Who are you [...]

What To Do If You Forgot a Gift?

Your doorbell rings. You open it. There’s a package…from who? Your heart sinks. From one of your co-workers that you did not buy a gift for. It’s not that you didn’t want to.
