April 16 Is National Stress Awareness Day – Gifts to De-Stress Coworkers

By Leave a Comment

Stress is a serious problem in our culture. We’re far more overworked and overstressed than ever before, and that’s leading to some serious health problems. On April 16th, you’ll have a chance to spread awareness of stress (and all of its related problems) by picking out the perfect stress busting gifts for coworkers.

But what are they?

A simple tabletop fountain can be a great gift for coworkers feeling stressed out. The sound of running water is calming and soothing. These gifts aren’t very expensive, either, and come in a huge variety of styles.

Small, table-top fish tanks make great stress busters, too. Watching a mini reef, or even a goldfish swimming aimlessly about can help take the mind off of the matter at hand for at least a moment, leading to a brief respite from the daily grind.

If your office won’t allow you to keep these types of gifts for coworkers in your cubicle, you could always consider a mini Zen garden. There are a number of kits that not only allow your coworkers to understand how to use them, but also why they help to relieve the stress that’s building up every day. [Read more…]

Picking out the perfect gifts for coworkers celebrating Earth Day allows you to do two things:

  1. Expose others to the environmental issues you’re passionate about

Below you’ll find a few ideas that make perfect gifts for coworkers, regardless of how concerned they are about the environment – because they help them save money and care for Mother Earth at the same time, meaning you’ll have the perfect “green approach” for everyone.

Good Friday – Gifts to Help Coworkers End Lent

By Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a gift for coworkers ending Lent, you’ll need to understand what they’ve gone through during the last several weeks. If you’re Catholic, you’ll clearly understand what it means to go through the entire process – as well as the amount of celebration that comes on Good Friday. If not, you’ll really need to put yourself in their shoes.

Christians, and Catholics in particular, practice lent by giving something up for 40 weekdays. This can be just about anything – be it a certain type of food, video games, and even sex. The entire practice is designed to help enforce the spiritual acts of self-discipline taught in the holy gospel. By successfully completing the practice, followers of the Christian faith are imitating Jesus Christ’s 40 days of fasting before starting his ministry.

Even though the practice is designed to help reinforce the lessons taught in the bible, it’s tough. Even the most devout Christians can struggle to get through Lent each year. When you decide to buy a gift for coworkers on Good Friday, you’ll need to tread carefully – you wouldn’t want your gift to offend their sensibilities. Since it’s a religious practice, that can be all too easy to do. [Read more…]
