 <\/p>\n

If ever we were to become receptive to new holiday traditions, it most certainly will have been in these past two years. In my previous work life, I had an ongoing and spontaneous practice of dropping off small gifts \u2013 often confection items \u2013 to my best clients as statements of appreciation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the holiday season, I offered those clients the opportunity to select luxurious buttercream tortes or elegant holiday cookie tins\"\" produced by a local high-end cakery. I ordered my clients\u2019 gifts several weeks in advance of the pre-determined pickup <\/em><\/span>date, sent reminders as the pickup date approached, and picked the gifts up on the morning of the event.<\/p>\n

On the pickup day, I took residence in a company conference room \u2013 a room now filled with luscious cakes and cookies. Clients stopped by at their convenience throughout the day. We reconnected, caught up on family and personal events, and wished each other the best of the season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This client appreciation event was more fun than you can imagine! I loved creating a new holiday tradition!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a business owner \u2013 or even as a friend! \u2013 why not open your business or home for a day to the clients or friends you care most about?<\/strong><\/span> It\u2019s your unique version of a holiday open house \u2013 infinitely adaptable! Gifting at Hannakuh<\/span><\/strong> or Thanksgiving<\/span><\/strong>? A \u201cFriends-Giving\u201d event! Your new holiday tradition!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
