Sticky Gift Situations

When I consider writing about a topic for this blog, sometimes I have to check to see if I have already written about it. While I was on the blog ThoughtfulPinch.com, I typed in the keywords “Thank You” and about eight posts came up. The post that I wrote in December 2020 is really good. Yes, I just bragged about my own post. That post is very helpful for those who need a little guidance on writing thank you cards.

Feedback Pinches

Last Fall, a group of five students from the Carlson Business School at the University of Minnesota asked if they could do their semester assignment about my company Thoughtful Pinch. The plan was for me to give them information about my start up and in turn, they would treat the information as a case study. I was both honored and hopeful. How cool that they chose my company? And my hope was that this group would give me a thoughtful pinch in the form of feedback, advice, detailed information and/or constructive criticism.

I'm here. You're there.

It is much easier to buy gifts for someone who is celebrating than it is for someone who is grieving.  Birthdays, a new baby, anniversaries.  Those occasions are pretty easy to shop for because those are fun gifts to buy.  It's super awkward and hard to comfort someone who has lost a loved one. Besides the stores at local funeral homes,  there aren't many venues that carry a variety of thoughtful pinches to give to someone who is grieving.
