Summary of the week-The YesGifts Office

The weather has changed and so has the atmosphere in the YesGifts office. The Christmas decorations have come out and everyone's feeling chirpy and full of Christmas spirit. Even the website has changed, notice our sparkly snowflakes on the homepage and our new offer of BUY ONE GET ONE TREE!. As usual we want to share our Xmas happiness with our customers and give out a little sparkle with every order.

We have also added new products on the site to enhance our Christmas gifts section, such as chocolate boxes, heat packs, advent calendars and we've even got Rubik's cubes... yeah we know they're not Christmasy but they're great fun!!

Summary of the week-The YesGifts Office

Yep! You guessed it, we're still eating Wispas and having lots of caffeine. Its needed to keep up with the Christmas rush. I can hear everyone saying "but its not Christmas yet" and all I can say is that there's some very organised people out there.

The YesGifts office last week was full of hard working people taking new orders, confirming others, ensuring products were sent out on time and generally looking after our customers. That's what we're good at.

Well keep you posted on new happenings at YesGifts right here every week.

Summary of the week-The YesGifts Office

Between the 6th and the 10th of October (last week) YesGifts discovered that WISPAS ARE BACK! and we're all glad of it! We are now all Wispa crazy making sure we all have at least one a day for a healthy balanced diet. That's our excuse anyway. Post a comment to show your support for Wispas and to bring them back for good.

Along with Wispas, caffeine is now back on the menu!
(That lasted long hey?!)
With all the sudden Christmas rush YesGifts is busy busy busy!!! With all the sales team staying late everyday to catch up with the immense amount of quotes and orders. Any health and beauty related businesses feel free to send us all some free vouchers.

Andy and our Headteacher (oops I mean Boss) conducted a very interesting highly technical and skilled experiment this week.
Which mug holds more liquid? The Emerald or The Griffin?
After much deliberation and one wet desk later, the conclusion was The Griffin holds roughly two more slurps of Coffee.
(no animals were hurt in this experiment-only Andy, with a wet tea towel)

The girls weren't satisfied with this slurping business, so conducted their own experiment with fig rolls and ginger biscuits.
(what do you mean biscuit's aren't healthy? they have ginger and figs in them)

The girls final verdict was - The Griffin has the Dunkability factor, oh and so does The Emerald, Oh no, who ate all the fig rolls????
They have decided to repeat this experiment again, using chocolate biscuits, and a huge array of our promotional mugs.
Which mug will win?
Who's waistline will expand the most?

Summary of the week-The YesGifts Office

The YesGifts team have been on a health kick this past week and as part of this healthiness overload, decided to ban regular Tea and Coffee and see how long they could survive!

Tina's coped very well, with her herbal selections of Mint or Chamomile, (bleurghh-tastes like garden waste-said Emma)
Andrew's been mixing it up choosing between Regular De-caf and the odd herbal tea bag from Tina, (His favourite is Rooibos)
Simon's more of a effervescent vitamin drinker (Like he needs any extra fizz)?
Emma quit after the first cup of Herbal (see above) and reverted to regular tea, no sugar though - sweet enough!
Jan-Claire is a laydee, and as such wouldn't dream of sipping anything other than Earl Grey (decaffeinated of course)
And the lovely Liz only has half a cup of coffee in the morning, the rest of the day she sticks to water.

So will it last? ....watch this space!

What's your tea drinking habit like?
Who drinks the most in your office, name and shame here.....

YesGifts are Paperless!!

From the beginning, when YesGifts first established, the makers made a decision that YesGifts would be one of the first companies to be a paperless business. YesGifts made and continue to make a conscious effort not to send out printed catalogues, direct mailings or any other such advertising media. All products are online and it's easy to find the website, just type in "promotional gifts" and YesGifts are there.

They are constantly taking on new strategies to help the environment including making environmentally friendly gifts available and ensuring the company as a whole recycle. YesGifts are proud to say that they are making a big difference and would like to encourage others to do the same.
