Family Reunion Planning With A Personalized Touch

How to plan a family reunion with Giftsin24.com

Somehow, my cousin and I got the brilliant idea to tackle the task of family reunion planning for our family’s first ever gathering. I don’t know what we were thinking, each of us having two young kids and working full-time. Nonetheless, the reunion is fast-approaching, and we’re getting very excited. Our small core of 14 aunts, uncles and cousins has grown over the years to include new spouses and kids, totaling over 40 people since our last gathering. We definitely had reason to plan a reunion!

How to plan a family reunion with that personal touch

Neither she nor I have experience in how to plan a family reunion, so we’ve done quite a bit of research. During our family reunion planning, we’re looking for ways to make our reunion special and memorable. Working here at Giftsin24.com, I didn’t have to look too far for inspiration.

First and most obvious were the custom invitations. Sure, we could’ve used email or even Facebook, but we really wanted to send our family the message that this is a significant event worth celebrating. We chose a fun, cheerful product, the Cherry Blossom Announcement Cards, as our invitation, and we inserted extra details about location and accommodations into the pocket holder with the invitation.

For our next bit of family reunion planning, we chose personalized napkins for the event. Personalized napkins? Yep. We wanted to infuse the event with reminders that we’re not just at some picnic, we’re at our family’s first organized family reunion. To coordinate with the Cherry Blossom personalized invitations, we chose the Beach Chair Foil-Stamped Napkins in white with red foil, customizing the napkins with our family name and the date of the reunion. I can’t wait to see the looks on our parents’ faces when they see this stylish touch!

Can you think of a mentor in your life that has managed to inspire your thoughts, perhaps even transform your entire world?  Teachers have the unique potential to change the course, not only of a student’s life, but also the lives of everyone with whom that student will come into contact with and shares their personal story throughout the rest of their lives.

The best teachers are oftentimes the ones that make each and every student feel like he or she has a special place on this planet.

Try thinking about what makes your graduate so special…

What gift do you give to a college graduate who has come so far and is finally moving on to the next stage of his or her life…only to be starting at square one again?   For a college graduate in particular, the idea of being a little fish in a big sea can be scary.  Especially when combined with the pressure of having to stand out and be different than everyone else.  Perhaps this quote can provide some relief for graduates…

“A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that “individuality” is the key to success.” ~Robert Orben

The irony lies in the fact that the college and high school graduates have a world of possibility in front of them and the challenge is to find their own personal niche.   To help them along their way, why not consider personalizing their high school or college graduation gift?

Personalize your Graduation Gift with your own special message

Adding a quote or slogan to your graduation gift idea is an excellent way to convey an inspirational message or just a funny recollection.

Recently, a college graduate reminisced of how her father would always tell her, “Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” Even when times were tough, she remembered her father’s words.  And now she makes sure to add this quote to her personal signature in all her memos to inspire others.

Fun personalization ideas for your gift

Consider personalizing your graduation gift with these quote ideas:

• “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.”
• “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
• “Get a Job!”
• “No more freeloading!”
• “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.”
• “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

Personalizing your graduation gift with a quote will help your high school or college grad on their way to finding their individuality and realizing their personal success, while reminding them that you are always close.  Your personalized graduation gift provides an encouraging reminder of just how proud you are of your special graduate.

Administrative Professionals Day, formerly called Secretary’s Day, is right around the corner!

 
Is April 22 marked as a special day on your calendar? If you work in any professional capacity in any office type of situation, the chances are not only the day should be marked, but the whole week should be given a little bit of extra attention.

Administrative Professionals Day formerly known as Secretary’s Day is an unofficial secular holiday observed on the Wednesday of the last full week of April and this year it falls on April 22^nd. The whole week is actually the annually observed Administrative Professionals Week to recognize the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists, and other administrative support professionals.

As stated, a great majority of people who work in an office either fall under one of these job descriptions of work closely with someone who does and really, whose constant assistance and skills make your work day a heck of a lot easier all throughout the year. It’s a rather nice gesture to not only be aware of the day, but to acknowledge those who are your right hand helpers. Everyone does like to be acknowledged and appreciated, so this holiday provides a nice change to thank those who make our lives easier.

Over the years, Administrative Professionals Week has become one of the largest workplace observances. The day is often celebrated by giving one’s assistant such gifts as flowers, candy, trinkets, lunch at a restaurant, gifts, or time off. 

At Giftsin24, we have a nice selection of personalized gifts that can demonstrate a deep level of appreciation and caring:

Our MonteVerde Medalia Neck magnetic Pink Ballpoint Pen shows a perfection combination of function and form. Since pink is not for everyone, we have plenty of other beautiful MonteVerde pens to select from.

Other “working” desk type gifts, such as our “Bachelor Pad” cherry wood desk note pad looks professional and is much more appreciative than a pile of scrape paper. For a more casual approach, we also have a fun selection of “Morph Sculptural” note pads to choose from.

If your worker is not just a busy bee, but say a Georgia Tech fan, may we suggest our Georgia Tech Collegiate Note Cards. Of course, we have a full section of other popular varsity note card and stationery sets to choose from which are also a really great idea for a graduation gifts!

Or how about our classicand traditional customized monogrammed notes  Or something like our classic Bordered Note card which also falls under our free printed return address envelope promotion.

Receiving a gift that is personalized can help demonstrate to the recipient that the gift was really thought about and planned for.

Whether you have never heard of the day before, or even if you wait until the last minute, there is still time to purchase a gift of appreciation for the professional assistants in your life. With our onsite printing facilities, even if you choose to present personalized stationery, the majority of our products are created and shipped out within 24 hours. Or you might want to print out this blog post and leave it around the office as a hint to your own boss.

No matter what you choose to do mark the date and spread the word because cranky underappreciated and feeling undervalued co-workers are not positive in any office.
