You know how much we have been raving about these glorious little green boxes that bring cheer to your door? Well now we (you) have the chance to have one sent out to bring cheer to a soldier. Do you know someone serving overseas that could use a little pick me up? A little comfort from home? Then follow the instructions below for a chance to have your soldier receive this special gift.
Birmingham-based online specialty gifts company, Cheeriodicals, announced recently that they will send a magazine gift box to a soldier in Afghanistan customers recommend. Back in August, one of their customers sent a gift to a soldier in Afghanistan, so owner, Mary Martha Parisher wanted to create a contest for customers to recommend a soldier each month until the end of the year, to send a gift to.
“We know from customer feedback that the soldier who received the gift last month really enjoyed getting it,” said Mary Martha Parisher. “Often times soldiers serving in our military get a few glimpses of things from home, so we felt like it would be nice to randomly choose a soldier each month to send a little piece of home to. It is our way of saying ‘thank you’ for serving.”
Cheeriodical customers are asked to go to the Cheeriodicals Facebook page and nominate a soldier. Cheeriodicals will randomly select the first soldier to receive a Cheeriodical on October 15 and announce it on Facebook.
In November, the company will give away another Cheeriodical to a veteran in honor of Veteran’s Day.
