Personal Treats
April 2006
Smart Style
Reward your team: the associate who stayed until 2 a.m. to help you rework the PowerPoint; the hotel event coordinator who found an extra 100 chairs three hours before the event; the assistant who raced to your office to pick up the forgotten briefcase. Chose one of the goodies below, and also, how about a little something for you, too?
Suits you to a tea
I’m a little teapot, short and stout. Laminated handle, stainless steel spout. When work gets you steamed up, pour me out. That’s what tea break’s all about. (stregisathome.com)
A tip of the hatbox
Vosges specializes in “exotic” chocolates, blending cocoa and caramel with flavors like sweet Indian curry, wasabi and even candied violet flowers for truly original combinations. La Petite Hatbox, filled with truffles, cocoa, and exotic candy bars, is a great way to reward someone with discriminating tastes. (vosgeschocolate.com)
Knowledge is power
“Smart Women Thirst for Knowledge,” as the logo says. They also thirst for recognition—and occasionally, beverages. These mugs can provide them with both. (uncommongoods.com)
Propose a toast, or toast a proposal
You could toast the end of a successful event in these confetti-colored, hand-shaped glasses, used by The Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona to serve their signature Prickly Pear Margaritas. Or you could celebrate the beginning of a beautiful partnership. The glasses are just as appealing either way. (centreforwellbeing.com)
...And finally
Need a little treat for yourself? You want Pevonia Botanica’s gorgeous black-sueded fabric tote (along with a soaking tub, plus a little peace and quiet). The tote can be filled with a starter selection of Pevonia Botanica’s renowned holistic treatments, formulated directly from botanical and marine elements and used by elite spas worldwide. The pretty bag also contains a fluffy white terry robe, plus a Spa Ambiance candle and Spa-at-Home soaps. (pevonia.com)
