A vegan gift that won’t scare your corporate friends!
As some of you know I run a small business. We provide Web development services for health care companies and physician offices. Every year I like to send my VIP clients a thoughtful gift in appreciation of their support throughout the year. Well this year was particularly tough because I really, really wanted to send something that:
A: is nice but not super expensive as I have several to send
B: is absolutely vegan
C: would not freak out non-vegans
In my experience many people – especially corporate people – are kind of freaked out by the whole vegan thing because – you know – it’s a bit different than the norm. I really did not want send my clients a gift that would be over-the-top vegan as I have relationships to maintain. So I searched and searched. In previous years we’ve sent trees from the Arbor Day Foundation and other such things. This year I really wanted to do something different.
I came across Allison’s Gourmet, www.allisonsgourmet.com. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Allison makes these beautiful, organic, gourmet treats! After much debate I settled on the vegan toffee for all of my VIP clients. Ours came in the mail today and I am baffled at how YUMMY and beautiful these treats are!
Immediately I clawed into the package which was carefuly wrapped in tissue and tied with adorable twine and threw back a pice of the toffee. It was so good I promptly stuffed my face with about 1/2 the bag! Oh boy … that’s not good for my weight watchers points but I couldn’t help myself!
Not only is this toffee absolutely delicious, I am so thankful for the personal attention Allison paid to my order. We talked on the phone a couple of times to make sure everything was just perfect for mailing. I even asked Allison if she could tuck one of our personalized holiday cards into each package and she was VERY happy to do so!
In a day when corporate gifts are often made in China causing people and perhaps animal suffering, I am so thankful to have found Allison. Her sic culinary skills combined with the personalized attention she provided makes me a very happy customer. Thank you Allison for helping me give a gift to my corporate and non-corporate clients that is delicious, meaningful, and vegan – but not weird vegan!
