Here are some pointers for employees who plan on giving a gift for boss day:

1. Make it a group gift, this makes it much less personal and makes you look less like a brown noser.
2. Keep it light or humorous – nothing too personal.  A gift that’s too personal has the potential of embarrassing your boss.
3. Be Creative!  What better way to demonstrate your (and your co-workers) crativitiy than by coming up with a unique gift idea.

We have some great gifts that will satisfy all of the above.  Here are a few:

A caricature of your boss - truly creative, personal (but not too personal) and makes a great group gift.  Just upload a photo to www.giveacaricature.com of your boss, describe the scene, and your good to go! 

We’ll have a caricature done within about a week (allow two – three weeks from the time you order to accommodate framing, and shipping).

Or how about a share of stock in a company your boss loves.  MicroSoft or Berkshire Hathaway is a great choice for a boss, but we have over 100 stocks to choose from at www.GiveAshare.com – so be creative!  Does you boss drink coffee?  A share of Starbucks is a good choice.  Or is he or she a sports fan?  How about a share of Madison Square Gardens?  Whatever you choose, it’s sure to be a winner with your boss!

So if you’re one of our customers who ordered Berkshire Hathaway before the split actually occurred, your certificate should be on its way to you (or the recipient), within the next couple of days!

Berkshire Hathaway stock certificate

January 20, 2010,

Today, shareholders approved the 50 for 1 stock split of Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares,  just as expected. Beginning tomorrow (Jan 21) the shares should be trading on the NYSE at the split-adjusted price.

This is terrific for those “little people” who wanted to buy a part of Warren Buffett’s company but could not afford the $3000-$4000 price tag.

For those who have bought Berkshire Hathaway from us, we will be submitting the registration paperwork this week.  For those who want to get a share, you may want to consider it soon.  Various articles suggest that the split sets the stage for Berkshire Hathaway to become part of the S&P 500.

Berkshire Hathaway stock certificate

Yahoo has an informative update on the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder vote on Wednesday, January 20th.  Shareholders are expected to approve the 50 for 1 stock split of the Class B shares and the merger with Burlington Northern railroad.  Some experts believe that this will pave the way for Berkshire Hathaway to be included in the S&P500 Index.

GiveAshare.com customers have been able to buy the post split class B shares since November – the only place to offer this.     Once the split is approved and the shares start trading at their new price, the registration paperwork will be submitted for all GiveAshare customers who have purchased Berkshire Hathaway.
