The holiday season is the most popular time of year for businesses to send gift baskets to their faithful clients and referring associates. 

Sending a holiday gift basket will surely get you noticed and remembered by your customers and professional associates.

Conscientious companies send their holiday gift baskets out early in the season (mid to late November).  This helps set them apart from all the other gift baskets that’ll be received throughout the holidays.  Getting an early start also allows you more time to oversee the shipping process and confirm that every gift was delivered and received in a timely manner.

Choose from simple yet elegant business gift baskets or large, extravagant corporate gift basket designed for entire offices to enjoy.

Infectious diseases can spread through the air or by direct contact.  When you cough or sneeze be sure to cover your nose and mouth with a tissue and then immediately throw it away.  Be sure to thoroughly clean and sanitize your hands every time you cough, sneeze or may have come in contact with germs.

It can start with a simple handshake.  Direct transfer (person to person) of bacteria, viruses and germs is the most common way for infectious disease to spread.

You should also be aware of the possibility of contracting germs by indirect contact.  Germs can linger on doorknobs, faucet handles, hand rails, etc.  If you touch the same surface previously touched by a person who is infected with a cold or flu then it’s possible for you to pick up the germs that person may have left behind.

The Blossom Ballpoint Highlighter Pen - Story
Recently I was in my local market purchasing dinner.  I handed the cashier a credit card and when she handed me a pen to sign the receipt I noticed that it was unique.  By that I mean, it was a highlighter on one end and a pen on the other and it was imprinted with a Bank’s name and not the Market’s name making me wondering why they were advertising for someone else’s business. 
When I went to grab my grocery bags, the cashier asked me for the pen back.  Without realizing I had put it in my pocket.  She stated how it was her favorite pen and subconsciously I must have loved it too.  Now that I think about it….it was the Blossom ballpoint/highlighter pen which makes the story even funnier.   I had just spent my morning writing a blog about that exact pen and how it would soon become your favorite.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it’s important that all of us know, understand and teach the importance of practicing healthy hygiene routines.

Germs can get spread everywhere but public places where there are a lot of people tend to be the areas where you need to be the most careful.
Children, especially at school, should be aware that it’s possible for some viruses and bacteria to live on surfaces such as tables, doorknobs and even their own desk they sit at every day.

In 1999 the US Department of Education reported that approximately 1/5 of the US population attends or works in schools.  The flu can cause high rates of absenteeism among students and staff in our country's 119,000 schools. Influenza is not the only respiratory infection of concern in schools.  Nearly 22 million schools days are lost each year to the common cold.  However, when adults and children practice healthy habits, they miss fewer days of work and/or school.

At times when you’re on the bus, in your car or at any time when soap and water are not readily available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or sanitizing gels are good alternatives.  They can be used anywhere and conveniently fit in your pocket, backpack or purse.  When using a gel just rub your hands together until the gel is dry. The gel does not need water in order for it to work.  The alcohol it contains will kill the germs on your hands.
