Whether you are away at college, long distancing-dating your high school sweetheart, Missing your mom or best friend, or simply wanting to send your grandma a "Thinking of You" gift, it can be hard to show those around us how much you care when you are long distance. However, as we have been told time and time again, love knows no bound, so if you are looking for a great gift to show the people in your life how much you care, search no further, we got you covered. 

Finding a gift for everybody can be a hassle, time consuming and difficult, trust us, we know. You don't want to send out another drab gift basket filled with chocolate or a box that is half empty and isn't worth the price. If you aren't sending out the perfect gift to clients, they may no longer be clients. If you aren't sending out the perfect gift to employees, they may no longer be employees. It's that simple. That why we want to make it as easy as can be to get the perfect gift for clients and employees. 

When the wedding cake has been eaten, the dress cleaned and stored, and the thank you notes sent out, you are left with what really matters, your new husband or wife. You spend so much time together planning the "Perfect Day" that often you can forget what your lives will look like after those first few months of honeymoon bliss. For those of you who may not know, let me give you a clue as to what it looks like.

Everybody hates those dreaded "get-to-know-you" games that are played at almost any work, church, or school function. The questions can be as benign as "What is your favorite color?" or "Where is your favorite place to vacation?" but on occasion they get much deeper such as "Where do you picture yourself in 10 years?" or "What is your deepest regret?" 

France gave the United State a 305-foot statue that took almost 9 years to build, otherwise known as the Statue of Liberty. President Truman received a bowling ally gifted into the White House.  Emperor Shah Jahan ordered the construction of the Taj Mahal for his late wife.  Count Grigory Orlov of 18th-century Russia gave empress Catherine the Great a 200 carat rose cut diamond.  The Greeks gifted a beautiful wooden horse large enough to hold an entire army.  In comparison, does your gift card with "Happy Birthday" quickly scribbled on the back look a little weak?

Have you ever stopped to count how many gifts you buy for the women in your life each year?  Between the “big five” annual gifting days (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthday, wedding anniversary & Christmas) and the various other gift giving occasions that come up throughout the year (graduations, engagements, baby showers, weddings, housewarmings, etc.) you quickly get to double digit gift totals each year.    Now, multiply that number by the number of significant women in your life like wife or girlfriend, mom, mother-in-law, daughter(s), sister(s), grandmothers, etc., and the gift giving total rises exponentially.  If you are a great gift giver you might select a great gift three or four times a year.  That sounds great but what it really means is that you are selecting 15 to 20 mediocre or even lousy gifts each year. 

Imagine sitting with her on Christmas morning. She gives you an amazing and thoughtful gift full of many amazing memories and a handwritten note explaining how grateful she is that you are in her life. You try to hide your gift, but she sees you putting it behind your back and wants to open it. You shyly bring out your poorly wrapped, embarrassingly put together gift. She smiles, but you know deep inside that you could have done better. Nobody wants to be in that situation. 

So, you’re in the market for a gift for your wife?   Perhaps she has a birthday coming up or your anniversary is just around the corner?   Maybe you are looking for a unique Valentine’s Day or Christmas gift for her?   It probably feels like you are always looking for the next great gift.  Trying to find unique, thoughtful gifts each time can be daunting.  You may have waited until the last minute or are thinking it might be okay to “phone it in” this time.
