For several years my letter here has stated that the act of ‘Giving’ is one of the great characteristics of human beings. I am continually impressed by our Customers who give generously and creatively. Calgarians are impressive creatures and the summer of 2013 was evidence of how our community in Southern Alberta rallied around the families and businesses that lost so much during the floods. Winston Churchill believed that “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”. Giving is an act of our will to show support for one another for many different reasons. Starting in January of 2002, The Gift Designers emerged as a business that would serve Calgarians by helping companies and individuals find the perfect gift that expresses gratitude, congratulations, fondness, love, sympathy, and more and our business is evolving to serve people and businesses throughout the world. We are blessed to operate a business that works on behalf of the generosity of others. Although selecting the perfect gift is just one of the ways we as humans choose to give in our everyday lives, it remains our commitment to help you find a gift that accurately expresses your generosity and shares your message effectively and accurately. We work enthusiastically to help you make a lasting impression with your gifts. Our business exists to empower woman. It is sincerely a passion renewed in me and as I pursue fulfilling this passion the business evolves and becomes an entity that impacts the lives of woman both locally and abroad. We give back monthly to organizations locally (where you can join us and sponsor at our checkout as well) and organizations that impact the families and lives of those in areas of poverty. Stay tuned for stories about this but for now more information can be read here, view here. When you purchase from The Gift Designers you join us in supporting agencies that make a difference. You help us accomplish our mission: to empower women!
