Gifts

Last week, automobile giants Ford and General Motors offered $50 gift cards for recipients who signed up for a dealership and test drove their vehicles. This took place at the well-attended New York International Auto Show (NYIAS).

A wide array of auto giants’ newest releases was unveiled during the event. In order to entice customers to reconsider buying a vehicle despite these hard times, the gift cards were rolled out.

Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association President Mark Schienberg said that auto shows serve as a perfect opportunity for vendors to let the public know about their latest releases.

At the same time, prospective clients will get to test drive these vehicles and pick out their best choice.

He added that the gift card promotion is a great way to entice visitors to really consider buying a vehicle.

Gift cards provided by Ford can be used anywhere while the GM gift card are only for purchases made on the restaurants.com website.
The prestigious auto show took place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan and concluded last Sunday. However, everyone is still invited to visit the website for more information.

Instead of spending lavishly to celebrate their 25th year anniversary, a British couple decided to make their day fruitful by raising funds in order to donate money to the volunteer doctors.

The anniversary gift given by Dave and Sheila Gawn of Bedhampton was indeed selfless. The 72-year old couple donated the funds to the British Association for Immediate Care’s Hampshire Division. The gathering that they staged, attended by nearly 300 family and friends, was simple and raised £300 ($600).

The volunteer doctors from the charity organization will be aided by the funds to continue providing medical care to those who are in need. As known by the many, the charity relies on donations by the public since it doesn’t get any funding from the government.

Volunteer Lynne Caine said that they were touched by the lovely gesture of the couple, saying that it is really useful during the times of need.

The group has been raising funds regularly in order to continue its mission of providing medical assistance. Recently, they sold knitted Easter chicks which raised more than $1,200 for the group.
