Tokki

"Back to school" is one of America's biggest shopping seasons - so I was excited to share ideas for sending our little (and not so little) ones off more sustainably on King5 New Day NW. It's also a great moment to put our values into action as we set examples for our kids. I was excited to share some of my real-life ideas for going plastic-free and reducing waste with my friend Amity Addrisi. I'd love to know some of your favorites - I'm looking for more ideas for future segments! #Tokkigifting #backtoschool #sustainableproducts https://lnkd.in/gCevrkkt

Thrilled to share that I’ve joined the Tokki team—a brand that has changed the act of gifting! 🛍 Tokki's reusable gift bags, paired with a QR-based digital greeting card, make gifting mess-free and kinder to Mama Earth. 🌎 Working with renewable materials has been a dream of mine since day one, and now I get to bring that passion to life at Tokki! I’m combining my love for product development and marketing to help spread the word about these game-changing products that are shaping the future of gifting. Feeling super lucky to be part of a team led by visionaries Jane Hyo-Sung Park and Angie Snyder, and I’m excited to work closely with Megan Richards as I dive into managing projects and sales channels. Can't wait to see what we’ll create together—let’s make gifting greener and a lot more meaningful! #gifts #gifting #lifestyleproducts #consumerproducts #cpg #marketing #productdesign #sustainability #retail #eCommerce #seattle #womenowned

Moving into a new home can be both exciting and challenging, it's like "starting up" a new home! I recently collaborated with Real Simple to gather the best ideas for housewarming gifts and tips on thoughtful gifting. Remember to consider cultural norms; for instance, in Korean culture, gifting knives symbolizes cutting off ties. Remember that gifts don't need to be expensive in price, just in thoughtfulness. #gifting #sustainablegifting #housewarming https://lnkd.in/gCuvC4ZR

“Yes, I figured out EVERYTHING before I launched my company,” said no founder, ever. Especially when it comes to the complexities of climate change. As entrepreneurs, we try to replace the question, “Is this the very most effective thing we can do?” with the question, “Is this a step in the right direction we can take today?” Then we iterate forward. As the wise Maya Angelou once said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” In everything we do at Tokki, including sourcing and manufacturing, we are trying to put these words into practice. We are not materials scientists, but we are learning more each day. And as we know better, we will do better. In celebration of #EarthDay, tag a friend who inspires you to do better!

Thanks Vicky Nguyen for your kind words this Women's History Month - but I'm the one who is so inspired by YOU! We need your thoughtful, tenacious journalism needed now more than ever. I've been so excited to watch you rise to become the first Asian American anchor of NBC News Daily. Your accomplishments are even more astounding since you started your life fleeing violence as a Vietnamese refugee, arriving in America with nothing. But what I admire most is the way you are always reaching down and across with one hand to pull others up as you climb with the other. The kindness, generosity and positive energy you bring to the world in your private life is as impactful as your public work. I admire you so much, and am deeply grateful to know you as a friend. Everyone please watch and follow Vicky! And thanks Mika Brzezinski and Lisa Sun for bringing us together! #womenshistorymonth #inspirationalwomen #trailblazingwomen

Are you struggling to find the right way to show your gratitude to your team? As Employee Appreciation Day approaches on March 1st, it's important to remember that thoughtless gifts can often do more harm than good. I've seen companies give the same generic gifts year after year (3 year old blankets anyone?), sending the message that their employees are an afterthought. And I've witnessed law firms raise expectations for bonuses, only to disappoint their team and ignite fury. The gift doesn't have to be big, it just has to be thoughtful. And one way to share your thoughtfulness is to take the time to write a personalized note of recognition. I started Tokki to help make gifting more meaningful - so we're here to help. Use the code GRATITUDE to get 25% off a Tokki gift card holder or gift bag, and take 30 seconds to write or record a personalized message with a photo or video that makes someone feel seen. So, what's the best or worst employee appreciation gift you've received? Share your experience in the comments below. #EmployeeAppreciationDay #Appreciation #Gratitude #Tokki
