11 Days Till Opening Day!!! Last night we officially started the countdown and in honor of this countdown, we are raffeling off three gift cards to the Painted Tree Boutiques that can be used in our boutique as well as any of the other amazing small businesses housed within any of the Painted Tree Boutiques across the country. So that means, you do not have to be local to win! Did you know there are at least 35 other Painted Tree Boutique locations across the country? Might be one near you. 😉 So there are several ways to enter the drawing. Do one, do them all. The more you do, the better the odds of winning. 1) Share this post. Remember sharing is caring. 2) Comment below and let us know what kind of items you would like to see in our boutique. If we don't carry it, I'm pretty sure one of the other small businesses might. ❤️ 3) Visit our website and sign up for our Monthly Newsletters. You should really do that anyway because we will be offering special deals only available for those who sign up for the newsletter. So don't miss out! That's it. Be sure to follow us on all our social media platforms for more freebies and offers leading up to Opening Day. https://lnkd.in/gKsjXdsA

Dear HR teams, managers, and CEOs: it’s gifting season—let’s do this right. Before you hit “buy” on the usual suspects, let’s have a quick moment of honesty about corporate gifting classics: The branded mug? ☕️ Even if it’s triple-insulated, it’s probably destined for the office kitchen—or the “spare mug” stash. The duffel bag? 🎒 Unless it’s a Patagonia with a barely-there logo, it’s heading straight for the bag of bags (iykyk). The portable charger? 🔋 Thoughtful… but also currently at the back of last year’s desk drawer. The branded shirt? 👕 Sure, it’s cozy, but do we really need another “One Team, One Dream” slogan to wear exclusively at home? The all-inclusive hamper? 🧺 Gluten-free, meat-free, lactose-free—but also joy-free (and let’s be honest, half of it ends up uneaten). Here’s a better idea: a Vinterior gift card. ✨ https://lnkd.in/dKVKWVSb Let your team choose something special: a vintage chair for their home office 🪑, a retro lamp 💡 to cozy up their living room, or a unique mirror that becomes the star of their hallway 🪞. It’s the kind of gift that lasts, has a story, and won’t end up in a landfill. Even better? It’s sustainable 🌍, thoughtful, and guaranteed to spark a little joy. This year, skip the usual and give your team the chance to find something they’ll treasure. It’s a small change that makes a big impression—and it’s what we’re all about. Have you received a gift from this list before? Would a Vinterior gift card have been your pick instead? Let us know in the comments! 👇 And if you’re ready to nudge your HR team towards gifts with more meaning, feel free to share this post with them. Let’s make corporate gifting something to get excited about! #CorporateGifting #Vinterior #MeaningfulGifts #Sustainability #NoMoreLandfill

Every holiday season, companies face the same challenge: finding a corporate gift that feels meaningful, not transactional. At Feast & Fettle, we believe the best gift you can give isn’t something that collects dust. It’s time. Time to skip the grocery store. Time to avoid meal prep. Time to sit down with loved ones and truly savor the season. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Corporate Gifting Program. With Feast & Fettle, you’re not just giving restaurant-quality homestyle meals. You’re allowing your team to focus on what matters. If you want to make this year’s gifts memorable and stress-free, we’d love to help. Learn more below 🎁

The Power and Elegance of a Branded Gift Card in a Gift that is Otherwise Recipient-Focused 💼🌎 A branded gift card can add a touch of class to a corporate gift basket while keeping the focus on the recipient. Here’s how: - Personal Message: Write a heartfelt message that shows your appreciation. Reference specific contributions or moments that highlight the recipient’s value. - Professional Design: Utilize professional design services to ensure the card looks polished and sophisticated. - Discretion: While the card can have your branding, ensure the rest of the gift basket is tailored to the recipient’s tastes and preferences, keeping the focus on their enjoyment.
