As one last way to make your holiday season more joyful, we’re offering a hot chocolate basket giveaway! It’s festive and cozy, with two seasonal mugs, hot chocolate, peppermint bark, and marshmallow snowmen. How fun is that?

We’re going to let you in on a little secret. It’s what the Danish call ‘hygge’ (pronounced “hoo-guh”) and it’s ahh-mazing. Our New England winters can go from dreary to bitterly cold, and some days you just want to curl up on the couch. The concept of hygge embraces that feeling. Hygge helps the Danes get through their long dark winters, and if they can do it, we can do it! Think soft slippers, a cup of tea, a cozy blanket, and a good book. All of these things are hygge.
For a glimpse at hygge in Copenhagen, check out this video.
You’ll notice that the focus isn’t on commercialism, but rather on good feelings and atmosphere. The comfort that comes from your own worn-in couch and grandma’s dishes. Something comfortable and cozy.
So do the Danes just sit around in their fuzzy socks drinking cocoa all day? No…they’re at work too. They find ways to bring hygge into everyday life. Maybe it’s a favorite mug for your afternoon coffee break or a warm sweater.
Minuteman Press can help bring a little hygge into your workplace with these cozy and comfortable ideas! Corporate wear doesn’t have to be a button-down shirt. Soft fleece, knit hats, and long scarves are thoughtful ideas for the chilly months ahead.
We carry lots of hygge gift ideas too…no minimum quantities, so perfect for co-workers or family members!
As Americans, we enjoy a melting pot of ideas from many cultures. Sushi from Japan. Beer from Germany. St. Patty’s Day from the Irish. We hope you’ll embrace some of Denmark and add hygge to your way of life!

The creative folks over at The Spruce Crafts have shared this list of free designs.
For seasonal printables that you can frame or add to a winter display, check out these fun choices from SixCleverSisters. These are sure to liven up your walls or mantel in December!
Gift tags shouldn’t be boring. Options like these will really stand out with festive flair!
Quick printing tips…PDFs are always better for printing because the fonts and layout won’t change from computer to computer. Also, try to find a design with crop marks if possible. These look like little black tick marks along the edges of the design, and they show you where to cut so the image is centered.
We hope that these simple ideas bring inspiration to your holiday planning. Even if you aren’t a creative type, combining several ideas from other people will add a personal touch to your holiday and make it feel unique.

We’re in it now. Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday! We hope that you’re excited for a feast with your family, favorite recipes, and a chance to create memories.
For many people, Thanksgiving weekend also signals the start of the holiday shopping season. (Black Friday shoppers….you know who you are!)
For some people, the shopping season can turn frantic, expensive, and stressful. We don’t think it needs to be this way.
Here are some great ideas for simplifying the season. Remember, it’s about being honest about what works for you…not keeping up with everyone else’s Facebook photos or tackling those infinite Pinterest ideas.

A great list of ideas for keeping the season simple, avoiding clutter, and living intentionally.
It’s ok to say ‘no’ or to delegate tasks to others, especially if it helps you stay calm enough to enjoy the beauty of the season.
While we don’t know what kind of sweater to get your grandma or what hot new toy your nephew wants, we can help you with business gifting. Delegate that task to us and focus on your family!
We have gift ideas in every budget and in every quantity. The examples below are either consumable or practical, and they are thoughtful options if you’re trying to reduce clutter.
Custom candy and chocolate assortments to fit your tastes or colors. Name brands like Godiva and M&Ms and snack foods are also available.
A cozy blanket will never go to waste. We can tastefully embroider with your logo. This is the perfect winter gift!
A thoughtful and useful gift for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate drinkers. Even more special when you fill it with candy or cocoa packets!
We can also create online shops if you want to allow your employees to choose their gift. Here are two online shops we created last month, one for a school for a fundraiser, and one for a medical practice for employee appreciation gifts. You choose the styles, we create the online shop, and your employees make their choices. We’ll deliver all completed orders (wrapped in plastic with a packing list) directly to your office. Talk about simple!
We wish you the best this coming week of Thanksgiving! We are so thankful to you for being our customers and followers.

Thanksgiving
is a holiday that fills us with warmth.
It’s a beautiful blend of family togetherness, patriotism, and favorite holiday foods.Food brings us together, but a meal of that size can also bring a lot of stress.
A little planning before this holiday goes a long way. We recommend using a planner, like this one on Etsy.
(Just click an image to be taken to the seller’s page.)
At Minuteman Press, we can print this item for you on beautiful paper and inspire you to start planning. If you think about your Thanksgiving dinner now, you’ll have more time to enjoy Thanksgiving day!
There are also great online resources from places like Real Simple and the Food Network to help you
