As the air cools and the holiday season peeks around the corner, November always brings us back to what matters most, giving. Not just the kind that comes wrapped in shiny paper (though we do love a good gift moment), but the kind that comes straight from the heart. This month, we’re celebrating the spirit of generosity, in all its forms. Because giving isn’t just about money or big gestures. Sometimes it’s about time, attention, kindness, and choosing to show up for the peop

This morning, I grabbed my coffee and settled in at my desk, and that's when I heard Regina on the phone. Our founder wasn't rushing through an order or rattling off a product catalog. She was really  talking to someone. Asking questions. Pausing to listen. Explaining the difference between screen printing and embroidery like she was helping a friend pick out the perfect gift. "Okay, so here's the thing about that method," she said. "It'll save you a bit of money, but for you

Looking to wow your clients this holiday season? Our guide to corporate gifting shows how thoughtful, branded swag can build loyalty, increase visibility, and make your brand unforgettable.

Fall is the perfect time to boost brand visibility with products people actually want to use. As the temps drop, comfort becomes king, making this the season to pitch cozy, functional swag that blends warmth, style, and branding. Let’s start with socks. Athletic ankle and crew socks are a no-brainer for fitness campaigns and seasonal gifting, while stash socks (yep, with hidden pockets) bring a fun twist for festivals, travel, and Gen Z vibes. They’re practical, stylish, and

“Company culture” is one of those buzzwords we all hear… but actually building one that people feel ? That’s a whole different game. It’s not about having a mission statement on your website — it’s about showing up for your people in ways that matter. That’s exactly what Love’s Travel Stops  has been doing for over six decades. And at the Ragan Employee Experience Conference  in Disneyland this August, their Chief Culture Officer, Jenny Love Meyer, shared how they keep that p

As the end of our 4 weeks abroad, living and working as digital nomads drew to a close, we enjoyed perhaps a perfect work / life balance. Settled into the routines, we all were thriving, 3 year old 'L' perhaps the most. He was sleeping well, eating well, and his language and abilities were thriving. Being exposed to new sights, sounds and people really pushed him into better conversation, more emotional maturity and really helped him turn from a toddler to a kid. We are comin

Bestie Bottle Let’s start with the Asobu Bestie Bottle from Ad N Art, it’s like the cutest little zoo on your desk with its adorable animal head lids. Want to get really extra? Cu

1. Treating Swag Like Cheap Junk (AKA: Quality & Brand Disconnect) The trap:  Generic tchotchkes that don’t align with your brand vibe, cheap pens, flimsy water bottles, drifting off-brand designs. They erode credibility and get dropped in the trash. Kick‑Ass Fix:  Go for swag with soul: sleek, high-quality gear that reinforces your messaging. Eco-friendly notebooks, premium tech gadgets, or branded apparel with minimal design = swag that feels alive with brand energy. Make t

Establishing a nanny, a work schedule and how to 'life' while here was our main focus of week one. And of course exploring and eating! It's seaside Mexico after all! Date night in PV changed our trajectory about 12 miles south. Puerto Vallarta Sign Originally we had booked a little place close to the Zona Romantica, Puerto Vallarta. It didn't have a washer and dryer, which Regina deemed a necessity. She also believed that Bucerias would be better for the family, less urban, s

Mexico!! It took a good three days to get acclimated. Start to iron out, unpack, establish daily routines, recover from our travel day and settle in. Travel day was hard, two flights, and we started early, at the airport by 4.30 am in Vegas. Arriving after two flights a time change and an Uber ride at our Bucerias apartment at about 4pm. So almost 12 hours of displacement.  And I always think of it like that, like being homeless, having to ‘make do’ a lot. Making do with the

We had just over 2 weeks between the Mexican Riviera Cruise (Mexico # 1) and our month long stay in Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico (Mexico # 2). We unpacked our bags, did the laundry and started a collection of stuff we didn't need but thought we might for the next trip. The Starlink ( Amazon Affiliate Link ) - we did need and would need it for future trips. Regina watched 50,000 you tube videos and we purchased the Starlink Mini. It arrived quickly and we set it up in the back y
