5 minutes – that’s about all it took for my friend who asked me for gift ideas for her husband to excitedly walk away with a few gift ideas she couldn’t wait to give him.
Realizing just how quickly and effectively I was able to mentally pull from Better Gift Coach’s collection of inspiring stories of the best gifts ever given has gotten me excited to do the same for you, my subscribers.
During office hours, as a group, we can discuss:
Gift ideas for your upcoming gift opportunities
How to navigate challenging gift-recipients
How to make a “good” gift GREAT
Estimated read time: 2 minutes & 23 seconds
Gift idea time! Here’s a story of a
great gift to spark your creativity
The “Personalized Flavor" Gift:
It is our 10th business anniversary this week so our Director of Marketing (who also happens to be my best friend) and I exchanged gifts. She made a homemade ice cream with our brand colors - purple(ish) ice cream with carrot cake (orange) and vanilla tahini with blue food coloring. It's the official RaderCo ice cream!

Have you been inspired by a gift idea shared in the BGC newsletter? It would be the highlight of my week to hear from you about it! Here’s who made my week:
Sooo Marcey’s Director of Marketing gave her this amazingly thoughtful personalized flavor ice cream…what did Marcey give in return?
Well, Marcey was inspired by 🎁 9-letter word for free thoughtful gift
I gave her a word search with words that have been important to us or mean something in the last 19 years we have known each other.
