-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
"NATIONAL BOSS'S DAY" IS COMING UP ON OCTOBER 16TH. AND,
TO HELP INSPIRE GIFT SELECTION, OFFICE DEPOT HAS PARTNERED
WITH GIFT-GIVING EXPERT HILLARY MENDELSOHN, TO PROVIDE
PROFESSIONALS WITH ADVICE ON OFFICE-FRIENDLY GIFTS THAT WON'T BREAK THE
BANK--BUT WILL MAKE A LASTING IMPRESSION...
(MENDELSOHN):
"IT'S NEVER THE SIZE OR THE PRICE OF THE GIFT THAT MATTERS; IT'S
ALL ABOUT THE THOUGHTFULNESS. THAT'S HOW YOU CAN EXPRESS YOURSELF
AND SAY 'THANK YOU'--AND MAYBE EVEN STAND OUT. THE NUMBER-ONE RULE
IS, YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY, TO MAKE AN IMPACT. ALL
YOU NEED TO DO IS, SET A BUDGET OF NO MORE THAN 20 DOLLARS, IF YOU'RE
GOING IT ALONE--OR 75 TO 100 DOLLARS, IF YOU'RE GOING IN WITH A GROUP.
AND, THE KEY IS, THINK ABOUT YOUR BOSS: THINK ABOUT THEIR HOBBIES,
THEIR LIKES, THEIR INTERESTS, THEIR HABITS--DO THEY TRAVEL? IF HE
DOES TRAVEL, A GREAT GIFT IS A FORAY LUGGAGE TAG--AND PERSONALIZE
IT. THAT'S SOMETHING I USE ALL THE TIME. OR, IF YOUR BOSS IS
TOUGH TO REACH, YOU CAN GIVE HIM AN ATIVA BLUETOOTH HEADSET--WITH
A FUNNY CARD--AND SAY, 'NOW, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO BE OUT OF TOUCH.'"
(CLOSE):
MENDELSOHN MAINTAINS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE FUN WITH GIFT-GIVING--AND
REMINDS US THAT SMALL TOKENS OF APPRECIATION CAN PROVIDE HUMOR, AND
DEMONSTRATE YOUR CREATIVE SIDE, WHILE ALLOWING YOU TO MAINTAIN A BUDGET.
