Issue 18: March 3, 2020
Hello Dears,
Hopefully you’ve been enjoying the mild weather that’s accompanied the beginning of March! Springtime is fast approaching and we’ve been “madder than a March hare” preparing for all of the events, trips, and gifting occasions on our calendar.
Not familiar with that term? It’s a quirky British expression originating from the notion of bunnies going bonkers in the countryside once the daffodils begin to bloom…they feel the call of spring strongly, and react with wild courtship.
We too feel the start of spring strongly, and have fully embraced this month’s symbolism as a period of renewal, rebirth, and growth. In fact, we’ve just refreshed our menu of corporate gifting services (more on that below) and are proudly partnering with new businesses across a wide variety of industries.
If you’re interested in discussing how we might work with your company, click here to drop us a line. Whether you’re in financial services, law, real estate, or the arts, we implement custom gifting solutions that’ll allow you to deepen your relationships with key clients, employees, vendors.
It’s truly a “no-brainer”. Email us today to start a conversation about your company’s needs, and get a special spring discount on our signature corporate gifting services.
Finally, in honor of Read Across America Day (which happens to be today!) we’re highlighting some favorite gifts for bookworms…and in our “Local Spotlight” column, we’re featuring DC’s premier destination for chic, one-of-a-kind gift items. Get the name of this shop, and a round-up of our favorite gifts for the avid readers in your life below!
