August 2016: The Gift of Gratitude

August 19, 2016 by Rosana Lai in Gift Guru

I remember ending a summer internship and being hard-pressed to find gifts for my colleagues and supervisors I wanted to thank for my experience. Thank you gifts can be a little awkward. You don’t know the person that well but you want to impress them with a little more than just a card, so for those of you who want something a more creative but still professional, here are some of my favorite picks that say “Merci.”

AUGUST GIFT GURU OFFER: The lovely ladies behind Chubby Charlie are offering you guys 10% off your order of anything from gourmet goodie bags filled with chocolate or massage oils to moon cake hampers and preserved flower bouquets! Just enter code ROSIE10 at checkout or mention Rosie Colored Lenses in store! Happy gifting! www.chubbycharlie.com
