Christmas Corporate Gifts

Christmas is less than a month away and many Christian companies are already getting some Christmas corporate gift ideas from the various web sites to present client Christmas gifts as a gesture of goodwill for their business. There are many cool corporate gifts that you can purchase from the internet in bulk for your staff, employees or corporate clients. Gifts like Christmas mugs with Santa's pictures or images of Christmas trees, crystals, photo frames, key chains, card holders, pen holders, Selangor pewter, perfumes, toiletries, Body Shop products, et cetera.

December is the most joyous time of the year with much merry making and laughter. Carolers sing carols at major shopping complexes to bring cheer to the shoppers. Santa Claus will be busy distributing sweets to the children and please the parents. I will most probably go to a mountain resort to chill out literally during Christmas. The hotel has been booked by phone and it was confirmed. You have to book early to get a place during this peak season which is more expensive than the usual charges.

When I was in Singapore many years back, Christmas means gift exchange over 8-course meal dinner in hotels or posh Chinese restaurants with relatives year after year. I love those times we were together to celebrate this festive occasion.

Met Amber Chia at Shogun Japanese Buffet Restaurant

Just the other day, I was dining at Shogun Japanese Buffet Restaurant in Sunway Pyramid on the ground floor when we were told that the table next to us was reserved as we had our lunch there. Shortly later, Amber with her cohort of models and family walked in to sit right beside us. They occupied 2 tables with her baby son seated next to me. I did not take the liberty to snap any photos wit her as she was busy tending to her son, but chatted with me and my partner for a short while. Her husband was very well dress in a coat just as Amber was in a white dress with some jewellery. They left shortly after before us - as fast as they came in.

eCommerce Website Design

I was a freelance website designer way back in 2001 and managed to get a few clients from the internet, chat sites, etc. Those were for Macromedia Flash Animated banners and buttons and fully Flash websites. I was very motivated at that time. Now I rather let other companies like new york web design to the work as I now hold a full time job as an Information Technology executive.

New York web design also offers ecommerce website design where you can accept credit card payment for your products listed in the pages. A payment merchant gateway is linked with shipping cart or also known as shopping bag as the intermediary link before checking out for final payment via your credit card.

For a profitable website, you need to allow an ecommerce solution to be linked in so that the payment is 24/7 all year around. And you can sell to anyone around the world at any time of the day or night. That is why many internet millionaires are made from their ecommerce sites like selling ebooks, tangible products, etc. You can check out the links given above and they have a neat website that is easy to navigate with fast turnaround time. They also have scalable prices to suite the various budgets.

I Love Making Money Online

I have paid articles to write almost every day and am paid in US dollars. Now and then I also earn from Google Adsense or now known as Ad Choices. Every 2 months I get from Nuffnang the minimum to cash out and am happy with my progress so far. My online venture has brought in thousands of ringgit for me every year and this is free money from the internet. I also earn interests from my bonds, fixed deposits and in future, my rental income as I plan to rent out my small apartment unit in Penang Times Square. I can accummulate a little here and there from the various multiple sources of income - be it offline or online every month for my savings towards retirement down the road in years to come.

Being Old is a Pain

The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez

Sometimes, being an adult is kind of a pain. I think back fondly to my time before mortgages and power bills. Obviously I didn’t appreciate the freedom I had back then while I could. I’m incredibly aware that the period of life I’m in now also contains a sort of freedom I won’t enjoy once I have children, so I’m doing my absolute best to make the most of this time I have now with my husband. The best part of being a young adult with no children is the ability to travel, and we’re doing our very best to do as much of that as possible. The bad news is, anytime we travel we feel a little like we’re leaving our house unprotected. Worrying about your house the entire time you’re trying to relax on vacation is completely counter-intuitive. For this reason, we recently installed a homesecurityfamily.com. We now know that our home is being protected while we’re away, and we are able to fully relax and enjoy the time we have together. It’s one of the best investments we’ve ever made.

Going to KL Soon

Last week, my boss has informed me that I will be going to KL this week. It will most probably be tomorrow or the day after. I have just finished processing 70 envelopes which is the third batch for this year - putting calendars and marketing letters into the envelopes, chopping the company address, pasting stamps, sealing them and finally pasting on the receivers' addresses. Although I work from a home office, there will always be work every day, depending on the amount which may vary according to email enquiries, etc. Sometimes, I also need to type out invoices and delivery orders and email them to existing clients. Being the only employee who handles all the computer work, I have to work fast and be proficient in MS Word, otherwise, you may be overwhelmed with the amount of work each day.

Working at Home and Its Benefits

Working at home certainly has its advantages. First of all, I save a lot of money on gasoline from commuting to a different work place. Secondly, I save money on office clothes and make-up. Hence I work in my pajamas or casual clothes like a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Thirdly, I get to nap anytime I want to. Fourth, I don't have any nosy supervisor to look over my shoulders and checking on me. Fifth, I work at my own pace, setting the time and mood to work. It is like being my own boss at home. And I thank God for my blessings with a dream job since early 2004 until today.

I get paid a basic salary plus commissions for the projects that I bring in via my web site. That is why for every enquiry, I have to treat them as potential clients and print out for my boss to read every day. As my boss' laptop is spoilt, he is depending on me alone to show him all the printed emails and enquiries each day. We have good working relations and he puts his complete faith in me. We are a small company but a dynamic one where the use of computer and the internet is of utmost importance.
