Office gift exchanges can sometimes be a painful experience.
What happens if you draw the name of that one person in your office that makes your skin crawl? Or worse
Tom Glavine Womens Jersey
, what if you make the skin crawl of the person who drew your name?
Gifts are suppose to be from the heart. How can it come from the heart if that person makes your heart shrivel up faster than a vienna sausage that's been left in the sun?
I enjoy the art of gift giving - and it is an art.
Giving the perfect gift requires thought, time and effort. The perfect gift says, 'I know who you are and I celebrate you.'
What then happens to the gift-giving-challenged? Better yet, what happens to the receiver of those gifts?
My husband is the worst gift giver... ever.
It never fails to amaze me how someone who has lived with you for years on end, can just not get it. (We just began our 10th year of marital bliss.)
I have come to dread special occasions. My last birthday was the worst.
On the morning of my birthday
Phil Niekro Womens Jersey
, my husband sat me down on the couch and proudly approached with an arm full of gifts. The previous year's birthday gift had been a big fat nothing. (Husbands take note: never give your wife nothing on her birthday - unless you hate her and intentionally want her to feel totally worthless.) Seeing him approach with the gifts, I felt a tinge of hope.
With the expectant look of a puppy searching for a new home, my husband sat in front of me and beckoned that I begin opening my gifts.
I picked up the first small package and lightly shook it back and forth. My husband prodded, "Just open it."
Removing the wrapping revealed a box of staples - the kind for a staple gun that you would use around the house.
"So is this my new staple gun?" I asked, patting a square package sitting on the table. I was excited. I had been wanting one.
My husband got a puzzled look on his face
Orlando Cepeda Womens Jersey
, "Huh? No."
The opening of the square box produced a small puzzle of white kittens, sitting in a row, on a pink background. It was the perfect gift for a puzzle enthusiast or a 10-year-old girl. Last time I checked, I was neither.
My hopes were fading but I forged ahead and picked up the next one. The slim, flat object turned out to be a package of bicycle reflectors.
Not owning a bike

, and following the natural line of progression, I proclaimed, "Wow! You got me a bike??"
"Huh? No."
Okaaaaaay.
This had to be going somewhere. Didn't it?
I continued opening.
An air freshener in the shape of a yellow foot. The kind you hang from your rear view mirror and can buy at any AM PM Mini Mart for a buck fifty.
"That's so you won't get sick when you ride in my car." (My husband being a smoker who has been regulated to only smoking outside on the deck or in his truck.)
A palm sized book of kitten photos.
"You like kittens, right?"
A box of ant stakes.
"You know, cuz of the ants." (Very thoughtful
David Justice Womens Jersey
, being that it was summer and I had been battling to keep the ants out of the kitchen.)
To his credit, the last gift I opened was The Best of Chris Farley from Saturday Night Live. Ok, I could live with that one.
As I sat there with my assortment of gifts and my state of shock, I couldn't help but wonder just how much this man despised me or if a request for cash would be rude.
When Christmas came, I attempted to install a "no gifts" policy. Emphasizing that it just wasn't in the budget - and truthfully
Chipper Jones Womens Jersey
, I couldn't survive ant stakes under the Christmas tree.
But my husband insisted, "It's Christmas. I have to get you something."
Christmas day arrived and my husband handed me an envelope containing a gift certificate to Borders Books.
I hugged him.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

, you should foster the use of brochure printing to accelerate your marketing plan.
This is aside from using business cards and postcards to sell to your target customers. However, having these tools often make business owners forget to whom they are really promoting their products. Who are their target markets with which their marketing materials are designed for?
For a business to succeed, it is critical to determine who the target market is. Doing so lowers the cost of marketing and increases the potential for business success. Determining the target market is the process of discerning the group that make up your customer base. You develop your products and services based on these groups, thus, distinguishing your desired market segment.
