Is it Time to Deck the Halls Already? 

My daughter and I have a game we’ve played since she was about 2 years old. That year, we taught her a few Christmas songs. If you’ve never heard a 2-year old sing “Jingle Bells,” you’re seriously missing out. The problem was, by the time she mastered the songs, the holidays were over, and I’m a stickler for keeping Christmas things at Christmas time. The game goes like this: she starts singing a Christmas song in any month that’s not December. I say in a very playful way “Noooooo….it’s not Christmas time.” She sings it, I interrupt her and repeat, [...]

How Socially Conscious Gifting Can Help You Stand Out

Would you remember if someone gave you a branded tote bag or koozie? You’ve probably received two hundred of these, but I bet you’d have a hard time remembering even a handful of the companies who gave them to you. What if you received a bath set with bath bombs, a towel, and a lavender lotion? While the gift will likely leave you with a more positive impression of the person gifting you the items than you had previously, the gift itself may be forgotten after a few months. But what if you received bath bombs that provided employment and [...]

The Connection Between Corporate Gifts and Company Culture

One of our favorite aspects of corporate gifting is its power to boost celebration and camaraderie in a workplace.

A corporate gifting system can create shared moments of celebration - marking a successful project completion, a birthday, or an employee’s life event. These moments create a sense of unity and togetherness among team members, which are the building blocks to a healthy company culture. How do gifts fuel this [...]

Creating a Client Gifting Program

If there’s one thing every business is working towards, it’s being efficient with their time. We want to get the most done, provide the most value to our customers, and have the best revenue. So, we make systems for everything – monthly reports, onboarding, meeting schedules, etc. We love systems at beCAUSE minded. But how does that work with something as personal as gifting?

Should You Give Employees the Same Gifts? 

The debate is on. Is it ok to standardize gifts for employees or should every employee receive a gift that is unique to them? For those who don’t claim gift-giving as their strength, they almost always say that buying the same gift for everyone is fine. But that’s the thing – do you want your gifts to be fine? Wouldn’t you rather they were thoughtful, unique, or exciting? Of course!   That said, we believe that some occasions work well with standardize gifts, while others require a more personal touch to effectively communicate the appreciation you are trying to show.

At that time, I was in a role that involved managing a lot of moving pieces on the weekends, so it wasn’t uncommon to get a call from an unknown number. But I wasn’t ready for this one.
