Thanks Grenville Station
We’re Back We Hope You Have Missed Us?
Our apologies to those of you who may have come to this blog looking for the profound and found the mundane….. We have just not been able to juggle the demands of life and business and still give this blog the attention that it deserves. Well we have made a number of adjustments and we hope we will be able to win you back.
On-line gifting is a unique business in that the purchaser is not the ultimate recipient of the purchase, so getting feedback is difficult. We would like to think that we are on track with you our clients, but….? So this is our attempt to reach out, to find out what is important to you and how we can better serve your gifting needs. Please visit Grenville Station anytime and please let us know what you think?
We have made a number of changes to our business that we hope you will find attractive. First all of our gifts are now now shipped free of charge by FedEx Ground to most centres in Canada. Second we have become a part of the FTD Floral Network and you can find our floral offerings under the Grenville Station Flower Market tab on our home page or just click here
We also have the responsibility to remind you that it is now 32 days or 33 sleeps 11 hours and 48 minutes until the Santa arrives. To support your Holiday Shopping needs we are pleased to advise you that we have launched our 2011 Holiday Catalogue, please have a look and let us know what you think?
Thanks
Anne & Caitlan

Avoid Chirstmas Gift Giving Stress
It may be hard to believe, but Christmas is right around the corner. It feels like only a few weeks ago we were roasting hotdogs and hamburgers, and donning our swimsuits for a weekend at the beach. The crisp chill of autumn flew by and now it is time to celebrate and sing Silent Night. If the busy holidays have you wanting to hide under your down comforter until next July, relax. A few simple tips can ensure you have a happy, stress-free holiday season.
Everyone knows the hustle and bustle of the holiday brings with it the need to shop for gifts. It can be overwhelming finding just the right item for everyone on your list. The stress and frustration may be enough to make you want to give up. However, if you still want to spread the joy of Christmas through unique, one-of-a-kind items, consider creating a present filled with things the recipient will love.
Exchanging gifts for Christmas is a longheld tradition that helps to spread the joy of the holiday. Presents are appropriate for a variety of situations. During gatherings, you should bring a token of your appreciation to the home of the host. You may also have people in your life like teachers, co-workers, and service providers who would appreciate the thought of a small present. While they may be expecting a run-of-the-mill item, appropriate for just about anyone in your life, you could surprise them with something especially chosen for them. You will need to take time to think of their likes and dislikes, but they will notice your effort.

Secretary’s Day in Canada
One of the most important holidays or events for any business is Administrative Professionals Day. Why? Because office support staff ensures that your operation runs smoothly! Business owners and managers have enough to do these days in the competitive business environment and staying organized and on top of everything requires assistance. Administrative professionals often receive Secretary’s Day gifts to acknowledge their contribution to the workplace but this specific event is set aside to provide a clear focus on these valuable members of the team. The term Secretary’s Day was changed in 2000 to Administrative Professional’s Day to acknowledge the wide range of skills and responsibilities that today’s office staff has taken on… regardless of which name choice, remember the importance of recognizing their immense value!
