Yes, It Really IS Time to Talk Holidays
Labor Day is hardly in the rear view mirror, but holiday shopping is trending. And we’re not talking Halloween candy. In fact, nearly half of all shoppers participating in a new BankRate survey said they’d begin their actual holiday buying before the end of October!
Credit the ease of online shopping and the nightmare that was pandemic supply chain shortages for creating the habit. If it feels as though big retailers like Amazon, Target and Walmart promote the shopping season earlier each year, you’re not wrong. But that’s not all bad. The earlier you’re making a list, checking it twice, and wrapping it up, so to speak, the more likely you’ll get what you want on time. Plus, you’ll avoid the last-minute rush, and spread out your end-of-year spending. Lots of wins there.
For corporate holiday gifting, “when” to start is the easy part. (Now would be an excellent time, of course.) “What” requires a little more thought. After combing through list after internet list and nearly every social platform, we’ve culled a quick half dozen gift ideas to get you thinking NOW about how you’ll wow them this holiday — with time to spare.

Notebooks and Journals
There’s power in putting pen (or pencil) to paper. From creating the ultimate “to do” list, planning the upcoming year, or plotting out the idea that finally gets them on Shark Tank, journals and notebooks are as thoughtful and useful as they come. Paired with a beautiful pen, and you’ve got something magical on your hands – and in theirs. https://shop.dunstangroup.com/search?Categories=Office&SubCategories=Notebooks+%2f+Journals+%2f+Jotters
