7 Funny Gag Gifts for Co-worker Birthdays

7 Funny Gag Gifts for Co-worker Birthdays

Everyone loves a great laugh, and if you’re looking for a great gift idea for a coworker, you should consider a gag gift. However, it is important to keep office appropriateness (and your coworker’s personality) in line, or else risk making the wrong impression with your well-intended gift. Need some inspiration in this arena? Here are seven funny gag gift ideas for coworker birthdays:
A customized trophy. Does your coworker have a distinguishing quality that is also humorous? If so, this is a great opportunity to create a personalized gift that will garnish some laughs. Visit a trophy shop and have the trophy engraved with a title of your choice (“Perfectionist of the Year” or “Loudest Telephone Voice,” for example).
Panic button. You can find these large, red buttons at many novelty shops and online gift retailers. They are perfect if you work in a stressful environment, or if your coworker is admittedly known for getting stressed out very easily.
Framed celebrity photo. If your coworker has a favorite celebrity, then you can gag him or her with a framed, “autographed” photo of that celebrity. Be sure to include a humorous message (like “to my favorite hair dresser,” for example). Also, consider the same idea, only substituting a famous icon of your industry (Mark Zuckerberg if you’re into computer programming, for example).
Batteries. Every office needs batteries, right? But batteries as a gift becomes funny (even if still practical) when you include a note or sign that says “gift not included.”
Diet candy. It’s not unusual for office workers to keep jars of candy on their desks, both for themselves and for guests. Gift your coworker with a jar of sweet treats and label it “diet candy.” Then super glue the lid shut for the punch line.
A clock. Does your coworker have a knack for always running behind? If so (and if your coworker has a good sense of humor about it), you can get some great gag gift laughs by gifting a clock that doesn’t work and personalizing with a label with your coworker’s name (“This Office on Brian Time,” for example).
Coffee mug. Coffee mugs are a great opportunity to get some laughs on your coworker’s big day, as you can find them imprinted with a wide array of funny phrases. For the office, consider a mug printed with “World’s Best Flask” or “Number One Boss” (for the secretary).
As you can see, there is no shortage of great ideas when it comes to office-appropriate birthday gag gifts. Draw from this list for inspiration and don’t be afraid to use some creativity.

5 ToolsTo Increase Your Social Media Roi

5 ToolsTo Increase Your Social Media Roi

Just because creating an account and using the popular social media websites are free, it does not mean that you can do as much social media marketing activities as you can in order to take advantage of this medium. Although there’s no cost per post or per minute or hour of usage, managing the social media marketing strategies also takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, it will not be practical to simply be as aggressive as you can in order to get the message through as many people as you want.
There is a better way to increase social media ROI and this is with the right tools. Below are functional and widely used tools that can be relied upon in increasing one’s social media ROI. Some of these can be used for free while some comes with a few charges:

1. Buffer – Posting in social media websites is one of the common ways of conveying a message to the people in your network. However, this social media activity should be done in an ideal time. With this tool, you can choose to queue up the message at the time that you wish. This is helpful when you suddenly think or find something in the net that is worth posting but you can’t be connected at the ideal time of sending the message to your followers. The first ten Tweets can be done for free. Available plans ranges from $10 to $99 per month.
2. MarketMeSuite – To take advantage of all the popular social media websites, it is great to have an efficient dashboard that will combine pro-active marketing and geo-targetting activities. MarketMeSuite enables the user to share and post in Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn simultaneously or schedule posts with these popular social media sites. Messages and posts can also be directed to a group of recipients that are near the business’ location. Creating an account is free and can be upgraded for certain fees.
3. TwitSprout – Although this tool is free, it has proven itself to be functional to a lot of users. It gives the user information on how he is doing in the Twitter world by showing follower growth on a daily and hourly basis. For a customized service, users can request for a quotation.
4. LiveFyre – Receiving comments is important in getting to know what people think about your blog and the product or service that you are offering. By integrating LiveFyre in the blog, the blog owner can give readers an interesting commenting plugin that will give readers or visitors a convenient time in expressing their comments. One great feature of LiveFyre is it can incorporate Twitter and Facebook in the discussion. For example, readers can mention a Facebook friend in the comment and that friend will receive a message informing him or her that he has been mentioned in a blog comment with a link that will lead to the blog site. Creating an account and using this tool is free.
5. Constant Contact – In spite of the dominance of social media websites these days, emailing is still important and effective. What’s great with this tool is, it integrates Twitter and Facebook thereby allowing the user to make use of the emailing facility and social media. Emails that are sent can also be shared conveniently through Twitter and Facebook. Free trial is available for those who are interested about the service. For continuous use, monthly fees start at $15.

Attractionology 3.0: Home business owners webinar

As a young man Christian knew he wanted to be his own boss. A long stint of working for other people to, make only a few dollars his first check, he knew that there must be a better way.  With the new attractionology 3.0 this was possible.  Network marketing is a great way to have a successful home business, and this means you can even own your own online business. The possibilities are endless.  One thing I learned from Christian was that, with the time you save, you can enjoy more of life and it’s wonders.
A few key things I’ve learned are. Analyze the statistics on your website, especially the traffic that comes in and out during a day, week, or month.  This will give you a great idea of when the most people come to your website and what times during the day are the most efficient.  Also, over the course of the year, this can help establish seasonal trends for your product.
Combine internet marketing technique with real-world marketing techniques for maximum success. For example, you can mail flyers with information to customers that then instruct them to visit your website if they want to see more. This gives your customers a tangible connection to your business while simultaneously driving interested traffic to your website.
I would recommend you visit Attractionology 3.0 today, and sign up for his webinar (Web-based Seminar).
I found his content is interesting and unique. People constantly want to see something they haven’t seen yet, and this was a new and excellent way to learn more about my marketing.

The Human Condition

The Human Condition

Resistance to change –
Being resistant to change is a bad habit that most of us are guilty of. There are many changes in our individual lives that can be easy, but there are also very many that are difficult. One prime example I can think of that relates to my attitude toward change is when I had my first roommate who was not a sibling. It is interesting to see two people reside together who come from very different family cultures with differing opinions and habits. There are many times when compromise is necessary. I found myself very resistant to change in some of the situations that required compromise on my part. I was convinced that a residence was unclean if it was untidy. This is not always the case. As a perfectionist, I found it difficult to separate the two ideas. If things were in disarray and the living room was untidy, I interpreted that to mean it was also unclean. There were often no dishes left out or empty pizza boxes sitting around. Typically it was just a coat or books left on the couch or shoes left in the hallway. These are minor issues in comparison, as they did not cause our home to be unclean. I just simply interpreted it to mean that. It took me a while to adjust from the idea that untidy meant unclean, and I was very resistant to altering my lifelong ideals. But after many months I finally adjusted to the idea that at least there was not mud in the hallway or food in the sink. Just because things were “out of place” did not mean that our home was unclean.

The Human Condition

Stereotyping –
We are all guilty of stereotyping at some point or another in our lives. This is an issue that is neither well liked nor easily changed. We hear a lot in the news about racial profiling, especially since the attempted bombing incident on Christmas Day aboard an airplane flight. We all find ourselves looking at someone more closely if they appear to fit the profile of someone who has recently caused (what we perceive as) unprovoked harm or attempts to harm innocent people. The idea of stereotyping leaves many humans skeptical and afraid of someone who simply looks the part of, in this case, a terrorist. The person might be far from what is defined as a terrorist, but if they look the part they are singled out and watched very closely to see if they act out in a terroristic fashion. We have all been known to stereotype someone because of their age, sex, race, or sexual orientation. It is not a pretty part of human culture, but it does exist and thrives in common culture. It is an awful habit that each of us is obligated to actively acknowledge and work on reducing the impact it has on our opinions towards others.

The Human Condition

Conformity –
Human conformity can be highly beneficial, such as standing in a line at a bank or waiting our turn at the gas pump. However, there are times when human conformity can have a negative impact on society. The first idea that comes to mind in regards to negative conformity is the mob mentality. When a large group of people get together, it is easy to see how the attitudes of a few members can spread throughout the entire group. This is generally how riots begin. If only a few members of the group begin to fight or set small fires, the attitude of the “mob mentality” spread throughout the entire group and a large riot is set into motion. This is one of those incidences where conformity is a bad habit that occurs without active thinking for most individuals involved. It is a very bad habit that most believe just “happens.”

Buy ephedrine: A review and history

Normally I don’t do reviews of diet or sports enhancement supplement websites. I find most of them are usually shady and feel backdoor-ish. However with that said, Astro Supplements seems all right. It actually looks like a store and runs like a store so to me it is a store. What struck me as different about Astro supplements was that they are trying a social in approach way of doing business, rather than spam oriented. Looking at their website it looks really clean and web 2.0 style. They also use Facebook and twitter to really connect with shoppers. I find this is important as it validates the business itself.
A lot of companies that sell supplement or diet solutions simply put you on the landing page like a squeeze page and try to sell you their product with little to no information or a bunch of really loud talking advertisements like “hey by this now!” I think it’s the very definition of sophism and it boggles my mind that it actually works. So I didn’t really find that with Astro supplements. They have some good deals on vitamins to you don’t necessarily have to follow the diet thing.
Like I said navigation is really smooth basically the type of store where everything is clearly labeled and you know what you’re getting. It’s remarkable how completely different their supplement store is, compared with the rest of the market. When I think of spam I think the supplement market, it’s just saturated with spam so I really appreciate that this is a new or bold approach to the industry.
It’s kind of funny because a new approach to the industry is simply treating people like people and not an advertisement market or some sort of click-through product purchaser. I’m basically trying to say that the old approach hopefully is dying out and this new model that Astro supplements is following becomes the gold standard.

Acne Skin Site: A review of acne-remedies

A review of acne-remedies

When it comes to Acne Remedies, My apologies to become the bringer connected with not so good news however it is not quite as easy as merely detailing the very best acne skin care treatments. That isn’t due to there being poor quality acne remedies readily available, just the opposite in reality, it is simply that you have a couple of measures to consider prior to determining that are the very best acne cures for use on your zits.
Not everybody has got the identical pimple issue therefore, the most effective Get Rid of Acne solutions for just one individual might not be the very best pimple programs for another person. Acne assaults each person in a different way. For many, it is just a gentle strike that will be handled really quick with a few basic skin purifying exercises. Will no longer be needed. You don’t need to look for just about any acne remedies, there is no have to check out the very best acne skin care treatments.
For other people acne breakouts could be a significant issue without a doubt. Zits may be substantial enough to generate marks which in turn, in the event that they are not dealt with, could be on an emotional level as well as mentally upsetting. These individuals undoubtedly require dynamic acne breakout treatment, and also the very best acne remedies readily available.
How can you tell in which classification you’re in? Speak to your physician. It isn’t really simple to understand whether or not your current acne breakouts are a simple moving cycle which may be very easily managed, or something like that which in turn requires severe treatment before time runs out. Along with your physician will show you the most effective acne cures for the personal requirements you have. I would recommend Acne Treatment at Home.
