While 4th of July may be the only official U.S. holiday from June through August, there are lots of reasons for celebrating and giving gifts during the summer months. Here are a few summer events that beg for an exclusive gift from Lucia & Co. Weddings The warm summer months make for a beautiful time of year to get married. In fact, June is the most popular month for a summer wedding, followed by August. When it comes to impressing the happy couple, they’re sure to enjoy sharing our classic gourmet Brie en Croute Epicurian Gift Box. Our Le Petit Merci Gift Box also makes for a thoughtful Thank You gift for bridesmaids, groomsmen, Maid of Honors, Best Men, and anyone else who deserves special thanks and appreciation. Baby Showers First comes love, second comes marriage, then comes that client, coworker, friend or family member with a baby carriage! Lots of babies make their big debut in the summer months. In fact, I'm a June baby! Whether you’ve been invited to a baby shower or are simply looking for a unique gift to congratulate the mother-to-be, sending a gift box full of gourmet brownies, cookies, cupcakes, coffees, and other exclusive treats just might be a lifesaver during those long, sleepless nights. Retirements Perhaps it’s the calling of a warm, tropical beach on a remote island. Or maybe a long-awaited road trip across the country in an RV. No matter the reason, summertime is a popular time of year for retirements. Whether it’s a coworker, a client, or a loved one, creating your own customized gift boxes and stuffing them full of goodies for that special retiree is a great way to express your farewells and good wishes.
