Best Birthday Present
Flatterbox is a unique, simple and fun personalized gift concept that allows the user to collaborate with friends, colleagues and family to provide sentiments, good wishes, kind thoughts and memories for the recipient in a gift box configuration (in this case, whoever is having a birthday). Basically, it’s a box that you order online that has “compliments” to give to a loved one. So, for example, when if your dad is turning 65, you can order him a Flatterbox, customize it with the “I love you because…” option and then email all of his friends and family to ask them to fill in why they loved him. They received an invitation from Flatterbox to do this and then all of the “Sentiments” go into this cute box, for his birthday.

Schoola
With the back to school season in full swing, many parents are filling closets with new clothes, shoes, backpacks and more… which means it’s time to do something with last year’s outgrown clothes
The conscientious and green-minded options include donating or reselling (consignment, resale shops, yard sales, etc.) – but what is the true community impact of each? Donating to organizations such as Goodwill and Salvation Army provides a tax write off and helps create jobs. Reselling can help offset the personal expenses of new clothes. A third option is donating to an organization that then turns those outgrown clothes directly into cash to fund the music, arts, PR, and extracurricular activities at your child’s own school.
