Celebrate Nurses Day 5/12

Danica Rugg

May is officially here and springtime is in full swing all across the country. That means we are quickly approaching an important holiday in the healthcare world: International Nurses Day.

What is Nurses Day?

During the entire month of May, we have the opportunity to bring attention to certified nurses everywhere and show appreciation for their contribution to our healthcare system. These essential workers play a crucial part in the world but their hard work is often forgotten or taken for granted. National Nurses Day, and National Nurses Week, allow us to shift our attention to these well-deserving workers and show our gratitude for their hard work and dedication. The date of May 12th was chosen as it is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, a pioneer in modern medicine.

Fathers Day Gift Guide

Danica Holdaway

Once a year we get to celebrate the fathers in our lives. New dads, grandfathers, and every dad cracking dad jokes in between—we’ll be giving extra love to all of them on Sunday, June 19th this year. 

If your dad is anything like mine, he never asks for anything and if he wants something, well, he just buys it for himself. It makes Father’s Day particularly challenging, but finding a unique and thoughtful gift for your dad doesn’t have to be stressful. We’ve got a well-balanced Father’s Day Gift Guide that’s sure to help you discover the gift that will drop your dad’s jaw. Earn your sibling’s gratitude by letting them in on the gift, or win the competition by showing up with the world’s best Father's Day gifts ever. The power is in your hands (or your mouse and cursor). 

Let’s get started! Here are the gift ideas that will get you thinking out of the box.

Crush Your Office Party with These Secret Santa Gift Ideas

Danica Holdaway

The Christmas season is here and it is time to celebrate! There are so many different ways to celebrate this holiday season. One of the ways your workplace may celebrate is by doing a secret Santa. The idea behind secret Santa is to get a coworker a present without he/her knowing who the present is from. You can make the gift personal or you can get a generic present for the recipient. Either way, it is a secret!

There are different ways to approach giving a present to your coworker. You can:

  • Spend within a certain dollar amount
  • Give a gag gift
  • Give a thoughtful present

Gifts Under $20

Most offices that participate in secret Santa will set a dollar amount to the present. Setting a dollar amount will give all of your co-workers a guideline of what they should spend. There are so many different present ideas when it is under $20! If you are wanting to stick with a practical route you could give them a basket with some kitchen gadgets like an oven mitt, reusable straws, or coasters. However, if you want to get more specific and give them a great present, that is easy to do!

50th Birthday Gift Ideas

Danica Holdaway

When I was growing up, it was a ~thing for adults to hate their birthdays. They’d make a big deal about NOT wanting to celebrate their birthdays (honestly, a bigger deal than just celebrating would be). Women, in particular, would play this game of pretending they were turning 30 over and over again. 

In the fateful words of renowned artist, SmashMouth, “The years start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’.” I understand that birthdays can feel like a thing that happens to you, and the culture of beauty and health standards isn’t always kind to the aging process. But it always made me mad. 

Birthdays are so much fun! We are living longer (and better) than our ancestors, and each year provides triumphant growth. Why can’t we honor and celebrate birthdays the way they were intended? ESPECIALLY when it’s a milestone birthday like 50. That’s one we can’t just forget (looking at you, mom). 

A fun and personalized 50th Birthday Kudoboard in action 🎉

We are here to help you celebrate a 50th birthday with meaningful birthday gift ideas for the special people in your life. No matter how much they want to ignore it, we are gonna celebrate and love them whether they like it or not!

Apparel Gifts for the Outdoorsman

What clothing you wear when you are in the great outdoors matters greatly. Weather is such a huge factor when dressing to go outdoors. You need to be prepared for the elements. When purchasing a gift for the outdoorsman in your life, consider getting them some new apparel.

  • Jacket: When planning a hike or camping trip, you want to be prepared for the elements. If there is a chance for a drop in temperature, rain, or wind, you need to ensure that you bring your best hiking jacket with you. Your friend will love receiving a great jacket that will ensure they are comfortable while exploring nature. 
  • Socks: Socks are a big must-have for an outdoorsman. Not just any socks will do; they need to be socks made for hiking or camping. Hiking socks ensure that you will not get blisters or sores on your feet because they are moisture-wicking. If you are going camping in colder climates keep your feet warm and protected with the best socks. The hiker in your life will love receiving new socks because you can never have enough! 
  • Hat: No matter if you are going outdoors to fish, hike, or hunt, you need to ensure that you are protected from the sun. A great way to provide this protection is by using a hat. Not only are there hats for sun protection, but there are hats made to protect you from rain, keep you warm, and keep mosquitos away from your face and neck. Gifting a hat to your loved one will show how much you want to be safe when doing what they love.
  • Gloves: If the weather is turning cold or there is a chance for rain or snow, you want to ensure your hands stay warm and dry when outside. There are gloves made with these weather situations in mind. Your hiking friend will love a nice new pair of gloves. Every time they go hiking, they will appreciate you for helping them keep their hands warm and dry.
