In 1942, a group called the National Secretaries Association was formed to recognize administrative workers and their contributions to the economy, support their development, and bring in more workers to this field of work. During their first year, they created a day to take a moment and appreciate all administrative staff, which is why today is National Administrative Professional’s Day! Even if you are not in this field, we encourage you to celebrate those who
are as they help make the world turn ‘round. If it weren’t for secretaries, managers, and school staff that help run most businesses and schools- we would be dealing with a lot more work ourselves. In honor of all of these hard-working individuals here are five meaningful gifts to give to celebrate!
1. A Swig Tumbler. On average, people in administration are working hard behind a desk for 35-40 hours a week. That is a lot of time to forget about drinking water. I know, personally that drinking water is a lot more doable when I have a cute cup that that I am excited to drink out of. Lulu Bella has a line of Swig tumblers and reusable straws that would be a great gift option for your Administrative Professional’s Day!
2. A DIY Card & Treat! There is nothing more personal than a homemade card, a personalnote, and a good homemade treat. If you want an idea for making a delicious treat, nothing beats some good puppy chow (muddy buddies).
