I’m battling a fever today, working from home in attempt to keep a really bad cold at bay. At 3, the buzzer rang, and since I was expecting the technical service from the internet company, I rang them in. Instead of the bulky technician, on my doorstep there was a red shirted guy guy handing me an oversized envelope that says kdo.ro.
The envelope hid gifts: three cute (and handy) notebooks in various sizes, each with lovely, colorful mailbox graphics. But perhaps the biggest gift was the letter, informing me that my friend Daniel Secareanu has sent me this gift as part of the “gift tag”. This seems to be an initiative of Loredana from PRwave, promoting the www.kdo.ro website.
I have two (and only two) things to say. Thank you. And … thank you.
The first Thank You! is for Dani. This has got to be the first non-romantic unexpected gift I’ve ever received. Normally, I get things for holidays my birthday, anniversaries, accomplishments, or gifts when colleagues and friends return from a meaningful trip and want to make me part of it somehow. With my BF, we’ve lately fallen into a pattern of buying useful things (clothing, mostly) either alone or together, sometimes presenting the cash and saying “Choose your present!”. Dani has given me the first genuine surprise in years, and I am grateful to be the friend that he thought of when choosing the gift recipient.
The second thank you is for Loredana. Her “gift tag” is one of the most innovative PR ideas I’ve read or heard about in years, tapping into the amazing power of blogs and blog tags, but with an added twist of positiveness that’s purely her, and it’s very refreshing .
I am carrying this tag forward, and keeping the recipients a surprise, just like Dani has done for me.
Thank you for the unexpected gift of friendship.

I’m glad you had a beautyful surprise. It’s actually the essence of this campaign: a gift that makes you smile, that brights’s up the day! I thank you also for these kind words – for kdo.ro and the campaign – and I am sure you will also find something interesting for a friend of yours. A personal thank you for your kind words regarding the campaign
