Do you feel like you have too much to do to get ready for the holiday season and not enough time to do it all? If so, you're not alone. Studies show increased stress levels during this time of year as we try to juggle family and full time jobs with shopping for gifts and all the other tasks involved in getting ready for the season.

For many, lunch hours and breaks are a valuable time for writing cards, making up lists, or even doing some online holiday shopping. Let Gridley’s help with our Employee Holiday Shopping Service.

Gridley's is a Canadian owned business that offers a variety of high quality hand-made products for the bath, body, home and kitchen.

Prior to starting Gridley's, I worked in the non-profit sector for 10 years at a community mediation centre, and in a corporate setting for 6 years before that.  While I always looked forward to the holiday season, I also found it to be busy and stressful as I tried to juggle work with all that is involved in getting ready for the holidays.

I started Gridley's in 2011 as a way to incorporate more balance in my life, to have more time for family, recreation, and being involved with my community. Through my business, I look for creative ways to help my customers do the same.  With that in mind, this season, I am offering a free Employee Wellness Holiday Shopping Service.  At no cost to you, Gridley's will come in to your workplace at a pre-arranged date and time, and set up a table display of products and an assortment of holiday themed gift sets.  You and your employees can shop over your lunch hour, break, or even during your holiday staff party.  

Simply contact us to book a date and time. Once confirmed, we will send you a flyer to circulate to your employees. On the agreed upon date, we will arrive 45 minutes prior and set up our 6 ft portable table and mobile sink with a variety of our products and gifts. We are able to accept cash, credit cards and debit.

This year Gridley's will donate 5% of sales from this initiative to the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes.

The Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes is a charitable organization that provides animal welfare services to the area, including an adoption centre located in Lindsay. It is funded solely through donations from the community. Get some holiday shopping done and support a great cause at the same time!
