Our Five Best Ways to Give New Twist Top Tumblers!

I don’t know how it is in your neck of the world; but in ours it has been consistently hot and practically devoid of moisture—except for all the sweating we’ve all been doing, that is. We had a brief tease from a 15-minute downpour this week; but otherwise it’s been nothing but dry on top of dry.

If you’re getting thirsty just reading this, then I have good news! All new Twist Top Tumblers are here and ready to cool off and refresh you and your team!

High 5 for Friday: These New Products Will Blow. Your. Mind.

Our new catalog is coming your way this week and in it we've got hundreds of brand new items to help you recognize and engage your employees. The overall theme of this summer's new product launch was “fun,” and I'll tell you what, these products are just that! Check out my top 5 here:

1. Desk Dudes™.
Made from bright, colorful, and bendable PVC, these little guys are the perfect way to give and display recognition! Tuck a
Pocket Praise in their arms and leave him on your employee's desktop for a welcome surprise in the morning. I bet he ends up travelling for some more peer-to-peer recognition. These guys are so fun, you can't help but smile at them!

2. Memo Caddies.
The catalog page does not do this product justice. These caddies are sturdy, and once the notes are used up, they make the perfect cell phone holder or desk-top catch-all. Available in our top themes, this gift will be a lasting reminder of your appreciation for years to come!

High 5 for Friday: Salad Bars, Sports Cars, and More!

It's been a busy week at Baudville, as we hustle to get all of our work done. Between preparing for our next catalog, being on our best behavior for a new intern, and trying to stay on top of our wellness initiatives, it's been a bit crazyville around here. But, even during wild times, we always find our high five moments. These are mine:

1. Community Salad Bars. As part of our
10-week fitness challenge, we've arranged for a bi-weekly salad bar brought to us by participating teams. Each time, two of our teams collaborate to bring in salad toppings and our company provides the lettuce and salad dressings. We're on our second one, now, and we're pretty much experts!

2. Convertibles! This wonderful weather we've been having has inspired a few of us to enjoy the wind in our hair and the bugs in our teeth! I captured two Baudvillians showing off their rides in the parking lot. Wait, am I seeing double?!


3. Freedom Passes! Reward your hardworking team with these easy downloadable Freedom Passes. You'd be surprised what we'll do to make sure we're prepared and ready to go, should a manager stop by at about 4:00 on Friday afternoon and grant us the rest of the day off. (Hint, hint.) You can download them here, share the freedom!

4. New Products. I have sworn an oath to never give away the details of our
new products before they're on the shelves (so to speak), but I can tell you that we have about 150 coming your way on July 1st. We're photographing them this week, and I have to tell you: they are supremely awesome! Stay tuned!

5. Abundant Showers Bring Abundant Flowers. We do live in Michigan, so one moment we're basking in the sun and then 15 minutes later we're running from the rain—downpouring rain that lasts for three days straight! If there's a great thing about it, it has to be what it does for the garden. Mine is now bursting with blooms...and, hey: the sun is back out!

10 Ways to Thank a Police Officer during National Police Week

Do you know this week is National Police Week? According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund:

"In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others."
