Halloween Has Become the Official Kick Off To the Holiday Season

Online, October 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - With kids back in school, and vacation season over, many people are just getting back to their normal routine. Now is the time to take advantage of this calm before the storm to prepare and organize for the months ahead. One important aspect of this is taking care of those who you rely on both during the holidays and all throughout the year!

It can often seem like a daunting task to figure out what to send to business associates to thank them for their assistance or a job well done. The easiest way to make them feel special is to send a quick note along with a special treat. Desserts such as cookies or brownies make a lasting impression. Or send a light snack or a full lunch, depending on your budget.

The first thing to consider when sending your special gift is to decide who to send it to. When sending to another company, it is best to send to a specific contact when possible. If you treat is meant for the whole company, send it to that person and staff. Another option to consider is how much to send. This is most often dependent on your budget. However, it is often possible to stretch your budget while still making an impact. Cookies and other desserts are a good way to treat a number of people without breaking your budget. The Halloween Goodie Tray (including cake bites a whoopie pies) from Ingallina's Box Lunch is a popular fall option for treating a small to medium size office. Running at around $30, including free delivery to the Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles metro areas, it is perfect for an office of around 10 - 20 people. For a larger office, their Giant Bakery box is a steal. For $50 one can treat an office of up to 70 employees or more! And don't forget your own employees and/or co-workers! Taking the time to share a box of goodies will strengthen morale, and get the team working hard.

If you really want to treat them, send them lunch. Party Platters are an excellent option for offices that eat on the go. A platter of sandwiches, fruit or vegetables, and a dessert is easily set in a convenient place for employees to grab on the run. Or send a Tray of muffins for breakfast to start their day. If on a budget, send a platter or two as a late afternoon snack. If you would like to cater a corporate lunch, box lunches are the way to go. A complete meal along with a drink, napkin, and utensil are sure to make everyone feel special.

Whether sending a special treat to your co-workers, or to other businesses that help you along the way, October is the perfect time to share a Halloween treat. No matter what your budget is, sending a delicious treat is always a sure-fire way to brighten their day.
