I’ve invited Mary Jurek, metal ware designer of the Helyx 3-Bowl Snackset, to share her thoughts about this piece. Mary’s quality is unsurpassed and each piece bears her signature.  It is a gift for yourself to showoff your favorite sweets and savories, a substantial gift for friends as well as the ideal gift for those who are “Tying the Knot”.  I enjoyed reading Mary’s romantic twist!  -Diana Martin

"Weddings are a great day to celebrate!  The bride, the groom, the family, and not to mention all the well-wishing friends, will all be there to witness a joyous day of two people joining together.  So it seems a perfect fit to add to the bridal registry the Helyx 3- Bowl Snackset. This handy little trio is a great and practical gift for newlyweds. 

After settling into her new home, our new wife can have all her best girlfriends over to ogle at the wedding album.  With tea and treats, the Helyx 3-Bowl Snackset will set center stage by performing its duty as the 3-part vessel to carry all the exotic condiments for the afternoon luncheon.  The signature “knot handle” will tie up the fun and afterwards find itself on the dinner table when just the two of them share triple flavors of sorbet nestled in the Helyx 3-Bowl Snackset under evening candlelight.”

 An ideal gift! 

-Mary Jurek

 

 

THE ART OF SELF EXPRESSION

“If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.”

-Dale Carnegie

There is nothing more complimentary than a personalized gift as it clearly says it was not something purchased “off the shelf”.    It suggests that time, thought, and energy was put into the gift … these precious intangibles that one highly covets and uses sparingly on others.

When was the last time you received a hand-written note?   Do you remember the occasion or reason?  I find there is something strikingly characteristic and memorable when receiving something hand-written.  It seems to add permanence to the words and thoughts.  

The paper you choose says nearly as much as the words you write.  Our Diana Martin Exclusive embossed personalized stationery set includes 50  4” x 6” personalized blind embossed cards and 50 blank envelopes.  Ideal for just saying “Thank-You” or “With Appreciation” in style.

Our Diana Martin Exclusive Embossed personalized stationery sets are packaged in a handsome linen box that is suited for any desk or shelf.  Made to last, the box can also hold your favorite pen or special treasures.  

I love this stationery set as a corporate gift and as a personal gift. First, it’s priced right. One can’t have too much stationary and the classic look is appealing to everyone.  As a corporate gift, it sends a subtle message that you took the time to think of a useful, interesting gift.  As a personal gift, it sends a message of  “you are special”.   More importantly, you’ve given the recipient the license to be creative with pen and paper and take a moment to express thoughts without the too often over used electronics. 

We at Diana Martin Gifts are offering a complementary box of our exclusive personalized stationery for the first person to share their most memorable hand written note with us.  Just select COMMENT...we look forward to your responses!

While recently away in the Napa Valley planning for my upcoming July wedding, I met with several florists who are incorporating a new focus on Eco-Conscious flowers.  These blooms are certified by an independent third party to have been grown, harvested and handled using practices that improve farm working conditions, protect eco-habitats, and conserve water and energy.  Such Eco-Conscious Florists are attracting large numbers of brides who want their flowers responsibly grown.  Inspired, we at Diana Martin Gifts have paired this stunning recycled post consumer glass vase with local, sustainably grown tulips.

Facts For Thought:

·      26% of all Americans bought cut flowers last Valentine’s Day

·      Imported flowers account for 67% of U.S. flower sales (other countries often have far less stringent rules about pesticide, herbicide and usage)

·      Seeking out locally sourced flowers/fruit decreases the fossil fuels used to transport and refrigerate cut buds

Cavalier Spending is Out, Wise Spending is In

Here’s a feel good story that I wish to share with you.    A long-time client, a CEO of a mid-size company, called and asked for help in ways to get attention of another CEO who had been ignoring his requests to get together.   For our CEO, this relationship with an affiliated company was important for business growth. 

Google provided a profile of the individual and we discovered that he was particularly found of the history of the Lewis & Clark Trail.  

 

We purchased a rare map of the Louisiana trail, 1814 and museum framed the artwork.  A certificate of authenticity and a description of the map were enclosed.  Our client wrote a letter suggesting that the two companies explore new frontiers and that there were many ways to work as partners.

The CEO receiving the gift responded after a week with a  heartfelt thanks for the map and an invitation to set up lunch to discuss business.
