Custom gift cards

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Now I must whole-heartedly get behind the idea of giving gift cards to employees. Over the years I have been involved in many different types of companies who had very different motivational strategies, gift cards being one of the most common. Most of the time the gift cards were to a specific restaurant or theater and were the standard generic gift card for that company.

Now that any company can get a personalized logo visa gift card, their employees can get the most out of an incentive program. They can use the card anywhere while being reminded that this came from their company as they use the card.

Cool Gear Clock

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Sometimes the coolest stuff just kind of falls into your lap.

My brother stopped by the other day to drop off something that he thought I might like. It was a clock. My first thought was, “Not another clock.” I think we managed to get a dozen clocks from different people when I got married. Maybe all my friends and family think I don’t know what time it is.

However, this was no ordinary clock. A coworker of my brother didn’t want it anymore, gave it to my brother, who passed it along to me. It’s  a giant gear that turns around a stationary hand. There are other gears that serve only ornamental purposes, but it is still one pretty cool clock.
