When you’re feeling your worst, there’s nothing better than love and support from loved ones to lift your spirits. We used to send “get well soon” greeting cards to the special people in our lives who were in hospital following a surgery, or who were dealing with an extended illness, but when was the last time that you sent or received a get well soon card? 

Celebrating your friends with a great gift is a great way to show them just how important they are to you! While sending birthday greetings for a friend can be as easy as firing off a text or writing a quick email, the best birthday wishes usually take a little bit more effort, and sometimes, they’re part of a unique gift.

Graduation is one of the first major milestones in the lives of our children and youth. Sometimes, the first milestone is celebrated when your little pre-schooler graduates and moves on to kindergarten. Sometimes their first ceremony is when they’re graduating from High School - perhaps as the first in the family to move on to post-secondary education. And, of course, there’s the ultimate rite of passage, the commencement ceremony celebrating post-secondary graduation and the beginning of a career. Whatever stage they’re at, you’ll need some great ideas for congratulating your graduate.

Many organizations rely on the selfless contributions of volunteers to accomplish their goals. With the vast array of organizations needing assistance, there are many different types of volunteers, each with their own motivation for getting involved. What they all have in common is that they’re making their communities and the world a better place through their time and efforts - and those contributions deserved to be recognized.

Gifting is a challenge! Christmas gifting has even been described as a part-time job because finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list can be frustrating and time consuming. This is especially true when that special someone on your list can just buy whatever they want online and have it delivered to their home the next day! So, how do you find the perfect, unique gift for someone who has everything?
