At Lori’s Gifts, we believe in the power of small acts of kindness to make someone’s day a little brighter. When Sandra Hambright, our Store Manager at Houston Methodist West in Houston, Texas, learned that Miss Rose, a nurse on the fifth floor, had received the Kudos Award three times from the Hospital Volunteer and Customer Relations Department, she knew it was time to show some Lori’s Love! ❤️⁠ ⁠ To celebrate Miss Rose's dedication and positive impact, Sandra surprised her with a goody bag to show her appreciation for everything she does. It's moments like these that remind us how a little kindness can go a long way.⁠ ⁠ Thank you, Miss Rose, for your amazing work and for making a difference every day!⁠ ⁠ #LorisLove #KindnessMatters #HospitalHeroes #SpreadingJoy #SmallActsBigImpact #NurseAppreciation #ThankYou #HoustonMethodist

Last week was a huge milestone for us as we proudly opened 11 brand new stores! Six of these locations were with Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, TX, and five were in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA, with Ochsner Health.

From merchandising, finance, and IT, to marketing, and the fifteen tenured store managers who helped get these stores off the ground—your hard work has not gone unnoticed! 💙 Below are some photos from Ochsner Medical Center (Jefferson), Ochsner Medical Center (Kenner), and Ochsner Medical Center (Baptist).
