Secretaries Day South Africa – 2 September 2009

Secretaries Day is on 2 September this year -always the first Wednesday of September in South Africa.  Stressful, demanding, overworked and unappreciated is how some Secretaries describe their job! Except on Secretaries Day when you can really show your office assistant how much you really appreciate all the hard work and efforts throughout the year.

We have done quite a bit of research on Secretaries Day Gifts and have (honestly) found that the best gift to ever give your Secretary on their special day is……the day off! The priceless gift, you need not spend any money and it also makes you really appreciate them as you need to spend the whole day without them!

If that is not possible, we have some other ideas that will help you give your Secretary perfect gift, here are some guidelines:

-      Try not (when possible) to give the same gift to all the Secretaries. This almost defeats the purpose of a appreciation gift so rather give something different and special to each secretary that suits their personality or interests.

-       Never give a personal gift (like a gift for their home) as you never know their personal tastes and many Secretaries regard their home as a place away from work and do not want to be reminded of work at home!

-       Relaxing gifts are a great as they show that you are aware that they are overworked and deserve a little time out. A Spa Gift Voucher (which we can also organise) or a Pamper Hamper is always appreciated. Vanilla Bod is our most popular Ladies Hamper and is always appreciated as it contains various bath products as well as quality Woolies Foam Bath, Body Lotion and Soap. Suitable for even the fussiest lady!

-       For a more practical office gift (and for all those male office assistants), we have the Desk Delight, which is a picture frame desk clock with a box of Lindor truffles (R389.00) or the Executive Summary which has steering wheel cufflinks with delicious snacks and quality biltong?

All our hampers are wrapped in traditional hamper packaging of cellophane, tissue paper, ribbon and personalised card and we always pay attention to detail. The packaging is also beautiful and modern with thick organza ribbon, not cliché kitschy packaging. They are delivered straight to the recipient or we can deliver to you on Tuesday - so you can give the thoughtful gift yourself. We can also handle your bulk orders, just drop us an e-mail: info@2give.co.za

We are also offering a free gift with every Secretaries Day Hamper order. A choice of 3 Lindor truffle balls or this relaxing back massage tool to alleviate all that work stress! We recommend spoiling you Secretary on Secretaries Day, after all, your secretary is an investment - not only to yourself but to your company!
