So much of what we do in life we share on social media, almost on a daily basis for some. For those of us who like to “follow” others, we can get to see, firsthand, what they have been up to. When something good happens, their post on that topic can receive hundreds of ‘likes’ and that seems to be the way “praise” is given – a few typed words and a thumbs-up symbol at the end. The problem lies in its instance, a fact backed up through what happens when we post that we’ve just passed our driving test and immediately the “likes” start coming in, almost to the point where the achievement in itself becomes less important than the online reaction.

The good news is that ot seems many of you are now “bucking the trend” and are reverting back to more “traditional” ways of congratulating people who have achieved something special, something tangible and with a great deal more thought behind it than wondering whether three or five emojis after a comment on their Facebook page would be most suitable. So, if someone you know has achieved a major milestone in their life, why not give them something more permanent and something they can appreciate for a long time, not just a few seconds such as a personalized Achievement Certificate?
