Savvy Companies Thank Loyal Clients with Custom Puzzles


Custom puzzles have evolved from a special present for family and friends to a unique holiday gift for clients and staff. Two local business owners, Catherine Weber of CW Consulting Group and Linda White of Carlson GMAC, created handcrafted wooden puzzles personalized for their business as gifts for their top customers.

CW Consulting Group Designs Inventive Holiday Gift

Catherine Weber, president of CW Consulting Group, likes to show her customers and her team that she’s thinking of them during the holidays. Years ago, when most people hadn’t yet discovered Flash technology, she and her husband and business partner, Paul, sent a lovely Flash greeting card displaying snow falling over a town to the tune of Peace on Earth. “Catherine always surprises me with her innovation and fresh ideas", said Leslie Doyle of Writers-On-Call. “It’s a joy to work with someone so imaginative.”

This year, Catherine set out to find a gift her customers could truly enjoy the whole year through. She also wanted something that would help her virtual team of consultants feel more connected to one another. She partnered with Sharon Reiley of IdeaBuilder and Jim to produce a series of custom puzzles.
