Tomorrow is Dog Walker Appreciation Day! These selfless saviors are often taken for granted. Whether a busy entrepreneur, a frequent traveler, or an elderly person with mobility issues, so many people from different walks of life benefit from the efforts of caring dog walkers.

In just 3 days, prepare to visit your favorite pizzeria and tell them to keep the toppings because September 5th is National Cheese Pizza Day! This beautiful love affair began in New York’s Little Italy in 1905 with the grand opening of the first pizza parlor.

Tantalizingly rich, with a pudding texture, and a creamy concoction once crowned the King of Desserts, Pots De Crème is utterly satisfying. This masterpiece, a baked custard, lightly set and showcased in a tiny pot of its own, holds true to its title - “pot of cream.”

National Mutt Day is only two days away! This lovely holiday, also seen as National Mixed Breed Dog Day, came to be in 2005. Colleen Paige, a Celebrity Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and proud Animal Welfare Advocate, selflessly focused her efforts on the beginning of a great legacy. Years later, we continue to celebrate our fur babies with a smile!

Which dessert, a creamy, custardy masterpiece, is also known as Crema Catalana? How about Trinity Crème? Still drawing a blank? Here’s another hint…

Labor Day – a time for embracing the hard work and contributions of the everyday American people. Since 1882, we have paraded our streets proudly every September to celebrate our workers, strengthening the solidarity of the labor movement and improving our morale. (After all, resisting the urge to stay in your warm, comfy bed every morning after hitting that snooze button before work is a mighty feat deserving of a celebration all its own!)

Giving a gift can make you feel vulnerable.  You are making a choice. What will bring this person joy?  What if they don’t like it?  What if they already have several of them?

When you show appreciation, you can make a moment, a day, or even change a life. Although there are several factors that go into a successful gift campaign, if your gift comes from the heart, the lucky recipient will feel it and will feel more recognized, valued, and important to you.

Once you have decided to show someone you care with a gift, contact us! We’re here to help you make it unique with a full range of hand-curated  Gift Boxes.

Times are tough.  Everyone is focused on every penny they are spending. Will this investment help me grow my business?  Reduce my costs?  Differentiate me from my competition?  One thing is for sure.  Without customers, you don’t have a business.  As a result, is an investment in showing your customers that you value them a discretionary spend?  We don’t think so. We think expressing gratitude is essential.

We’ve been at this for a while. Helping our clients show appreciation to their clients.  Our business is growing, because, even in this uncertain time, our clients’ businesses are thriving.  If you have worked with us, you know that we obsess over every detail. The quality of our ingredients. The innovation in our recipes.  The beauty of our packaging. What we do is a reflection on you. And we take that responsibility seriously.  If you haven’t worked with us, now is a great time to give us a try.  It is a wise investment that will pay dividends in the months and years to come.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I’d like to chime in with my thoughts on gifting for this special occasion. 

Ditch the heart-shaped box of chocolates and teddy bears from the local drug store. If you really want to knock it out of the park for that special person in your life, I suggest a more thoughtful approach.

Instead of a random, unmarked assortment of chocolates- which could go terribly wrong if your significant other has any allergies- how about selecting some of his or her favorite type of chocolate or another favorite treat? Here are a few chef-crafted options.

Then perhaps you could pair their favorite treat with a book they’ve been wanting to read or another small item you know they’ve been wanting. Think about it? Would they rather get something that’ll go up on a shelf and collect dust, or something they’ve been wanting that shows you have been listening?

And hey, if it’s really important to you to keep an element of tradition, you can always select some festive wrapping to put your personalized gifts in.  

If you’re gifting for a client, colleague or prospect, consider sending the gift before or intentionally late with a smart message on your card.
