HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE. WE HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND. AND WE FIRST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF OUR LOYAL READERS. TODAY WE ARE EXPLORING HOW WE CAN SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO OUR STAFF, OUR CLIENTS, OUR VENDORS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO DESERVES OUR THANKS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

EVERYONE LIKES MONEY (TIPS, EXTRA BONUSES) SO IF YOU'RE STILL AT A LOSS AFTER READING THIS, A LITTLE CASH IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED. HOWEVER, IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO BEYOND THE MONETARY OFFERING, HERE ARE SOME CREATIVE IDEAS FOR SHOWING YOUR APPRECIATION. THE MOST MEANINGFUL GIFTS ARE THE MOST PERSONAL SO BEGIN WITH KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE: WHO IS THIS PERSON AND WHAT DO THEY LOVE? BY THE WAY, THIS IS PART ONE OF TWO--THE REST OF OUR GIFT GUIDE WILL COME OUT NEXT WEEK, JUST IN TIME FOR YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING.
