Wishing a healthy Administrative Professional's day
DENVER, CO—Nationwide, the week of April 18-24, 2010, is set aside as a time to acknowledge administrative professionals for the imperative role they play in the daily operations of American business. This year’s theme " Power of Commitment. Power of Commitment encompasses everything about administrative professionals and their standards. As admins show commitment in all their work, they fully add to the workplace.

“Taking care of the human facet of a company is one of the superlative investments a company can make in terms of growing morale and efficiency,” explained Corporate Relations Specialist, Marge Van Woerkom whose Denver/Fort Collins-based company, Baskets by Rita markets gifts for any occasion.  “As a specialist in corporate relations, we aid our clients in taking care of the human aspect of business.”


One way of shielding and growing the human feature of a company is seizing the opportunity to reward the people who make the everyday operations happen. “During my corporate career at HP, I discovered that an important part of acquiring a company was making certain that the key employees felt valued and would remain loyal because they were the company,” elaborated Van Woerkom. “Gift baskets are a great way to recognize the “administrative professionals.”


Baskets by Rita is planning for the 18th year to play a central role in making Administrative Professionals feel necessary and significant by offering great gifts specially designed with staff appreciation in mind, including. Thanks a Million, fruit and cheese gift basket, Starbucks and chocolate gift basket, World of thanks gift, Executive Sweets gift just to name a few of the designs that will be offered. “You did a FABULOUS job on the baskets. They were a big hit. By far my favorite gift we’ve given yet. You do beautiful work,” Writes J Rice, Marketing Manager, Oakwood Homes, after she ordering appreciation gifts for their associates.

“Baskets by Rita, Inc. was started with the business giving in mind”, noted Van Woerkom, “and we know that Administrative Professionals week is a brilliant time for us to help employers build upon the unified culture that makes companies successful.”

Eco friendly choices around the holiday

Let’s consider behaviors to be green for the holiday this season. Everyone is  to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it good for the economy but it is also beneficial for the pocket book. In the year of economic downturn and this eco friendly mind set let’s brainstorm various ways to be green and save money.


Buy a live tree or even a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be plant and enjoyed for years. If you don’t have a yard for planting one then get an artificial one you can use over and over again.


If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if you have the funds . If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No need lighting up the nighttime when no one is out to enjoy them.


Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate them with old ribbon and sparkles. You can also do what we have done for a long time, and wrap your gifts in cloth bags that can used year after year. The drawback of these bags is that they are easy to open so someone could peek if they actually wanted to.


Purchase greeting card printed on recycled paper.  You could even forgo the snail mail this year and send e-card as a substitute.

Avoid shopping at malls this year. Driving all over town trying to find the perfect gift wastes valuable time and money. You can shopping on line and even buy from local companies in the process. Mull over gift that you feel confident they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys high quality food and everyone has to eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Now take this one step further and decide on a gourmet food gift that comes in an eco-friendly shopping bag. These awesome bags come in reusable nylon or 100% recycled reusable. The nylon bag becomes a little rolls for easy convenient carrying in your car.  The 100% recycled bag doesn’t use any new materials to construct. They are both practical choices. I found that Basketsbyrita offers Eco Friendly Gourmet Holiday Gift Bag and an Eco-Friendly Colorado Holiday Gift.  Your holiday shopping just got eco-friendly since you shopped on line, got something useful, did something that was good for the environment and your recipient will love it. Done! Happy Holidays.

Chocolate and wine for holiday gift giving

Christmas Holiday Gift Baskets what a mouth full
Christmas is a very trendy time of year for many businesses to give presents. Many businesses follow, what I believe, is a very smart path by avoiding anything that has religious implications. That means that the gifts they give will not include the words Christmas or will they use the words Happy Christmas in their card. A company wants to give a gift that will be remembered and appreciated.  This time of year is so emotionally charged with the feeling of another year passed by and reflection on the year as a whole. There is also optimism about the coming year too. The corporate holiday gift is an important method for companies to say thank you for your business and along with that is the expectation there will be a feeling of loyalty for repeated business.  A Chocolate Christmas gift basket is an brilliant choice for a business.  A chocolate Holiday gift basket is great since everyone enjoys tasty food. However, take your time and choose shrewdly many gift baskets are quickly put together and contain foods that you can get in any grocery store. You want the presentation to be stunning and the food to taste fantastic. Otherwise the gift basket, which is a representation of your business, will create a feeling of quick dismissive. Giving gifts automatically creates a kind of social obligation to want to do something for the person.

Business often times give holiday wine gift baskets and beer basket at the holidays. I would encourage doing that only if you know the client well and you are confident that the alcohol will be esteemed. Corporate holiday gifts come in all sizes and themes so corporate gifts can be selectedchosen to suggest the import ants of the recipient. This conclusion might also be driven by the size of the group the gift basket is intended for. It often times is more gainful to gift a single gift to the team instead of one small one for each person.  The choice is yours.
