At Christmas time, my daughter and I spend two days baking all kinds of Christmas cookies. We arrange them in decorative boxes with festive tissue paper, colorful bows, and assorted Christmas candies. I will also add in homemade Christmas ornaments made of Sculpey clay. We love preparing these fun packages and giving them away. My daughter and son-in-law are also entrepreneurs and give the gifts to customers and contractors. I personally deliver them to attorney-clients. Two of my attorney-clients are repeat recipients and love to get them as well as the staff in their offices. These ideas are great!

I was just thinking about what gifts I would give to my clients so your information was very timely. One of the things I had been considering was some type of specially designed chocolate treat. Would Dale be willing to share where she found the scales of justice chocolate she mentions in the blog? Thank you. Thank you all for sharing your gift-giving ideas.

Gunn RN, CLNC Sat, 28 Nov 2009 07:39:25 +0000 http://www.legalnurse.com/vickiesblog/?p=5597#comment-2539 I give small promotional gifts throughout the year. However, at Christmastime I provide a special gift to those attorney clients (and their office staff members) who have provided casework for me during the past year. I purchase tiny Christmas trees - about 5 inches tall and tie individual Lindor truffles and Andes mints onto the branches with colorful ribbons. Attached to the top of each tree is a Christmas card of thanks containing a discount offer to be applied toward the cost of any CLNC<sup>®</sup> service provided prior to January 31 of the new year. Since my current attorney-clients are within driving distance, I deliver the gifts personally during the first 10 days of December. Purchasing the tiny trees during the "off season," they only cost about 40 cents each at a local wholesale house. I realize as my attorney-client base expands, this practice will have to be changed to something else. This year we are making about 30 individual trees for the attorney-client gifts, but it is a way of getting my family involved in marketing and celebrating the Christmas season at the same time.
