Rules of Sympathy Gift Baskets
Posted by GuestPoster in Arts & Crafts on July 11th, 2011
If you are stuck on what to get somebody for a sympathy gift, then a gift basket may be the right choice for you. With a basket, instead of sending just one item, you can send a number of items all of which can help comfort and fill the needs of the grieving. Before you choose a gift basket or begin making one yourself, however, you must think about what is appropriate and what isn’t for a sympathy gift.
Let’s look at an example to get a sense of what makes a good basket. Say your coworker’s mother just died and you know she (your coworker) loves Reese’s peanut butter cups. You send along a gift basket full to the brim with peanut butter cups and a teddy bear for good measure. Although you have the best intentions and she may enjoy the basket at first, peanut butter cups will now remind her of that tragedy and she will start to feel sick after eating to many of them.
The basket I described above not only could make your coworker dislike one of her favorite foods, but it also violates the rules of sympathy gift baskets. When you give a condolence basket to someone, the items inside should be useful and provide comfort. For example, although your coworker will be busy in the days immediately following her mother’s death, she will also have downtime. Help her fill those moments and keep her mind busy with a book of crosswords, a novel, magazines you know she loves, and any other items with which you know she likes to occupy her time.
She may decide that she does not have the focus for these tasks. In that case include candles, bath salts, lotions, and it’s anything else you can think of to help her relax. Now that you’ve provided her with some comfort, help her fill a need. Include breakfast items to help her get out the door quickly. High quality teas, coffee, muffins, and preserves are nice gifts that will also nourish her when she does not have time to do so herself.
For more gift basket ideas, just take a look at your daily life and needs.
As a finishing touch, let her know you care by putting something personal in the basket. Write a letter telling her how much she means the office and to you. You could also include a gift such as a clay bowl or some nice flowers.
Funny Save The Date Magnets Will Work The Best For Your Wedding Turn Out
Posted by GuestPoster in Arts & Crafts on January 28th, 2011
The wedding announcement is going to be the first many of your friends and family, and other random invitees, hear about your upcoming wedding celebration. If you would prefer to keep your guest list low or have a subdued turn out for this day, I recommend sending plain save the date cards. If you would rather have every person you invite show up and ready to party and celebrate, I suggest you go with save the date magnets. And if you have it in you, you should make funny save the date magnets to get that announcement out there properly!
The reason why wedding magnets are going to bring a much better reaction than plain STD’s is that they are kind of like little keep sakes for your guests. When you send your invitations, your guests will get that touch of formality, but they won’t be keeping those invites. They will most likely take down any pertinent info and toss them. With your wedding save the date magnets, they will keep them up on their fridge and look at them over and over. They will be reminded of your wedding every time they get a ham sandwich. Or a turkey leg. Or a Coke.
That is the magnet part. For the funny part, this is crucial to establish your intentions to have a great time at your wedding. By making your guests laugh at first sight of your announcement, the first thought that pops into their head is, “Oh, I can’t wait for this wedding!” You can make your magnet funny by selecting something from a website, but the best way is to come up with a design and take a photo of the bride and groom. This will be more personal, and, in truth, you won’t even have to be funny! Still, if you do get a great picture, add that funny quip at the bottom and tell everyone to save the date–and I know they will!
