It is Better to Give – Real Gifts
When selecting a guest gift or take-home favor, avoid items that are inexpensive – or give always – and look it. A favor emblazoned with a company logo, no matter how attractive or useful, still serves as an advertising specialty rather than a true gift. A perfect present is one personalized with the name of the guest or at least one that has been specially selected for that individual.
This time of year affords you the ideal opportunity to reward people who have added joy, or at least an occasional smile, to your life with a festive break from their daily pursuits. Your warm, friendly and fun gathering will be remembered and appreciated by your guests... until the next holiday.
