Want to take your thank-you notes to the next level? Sealing wax is the answer. Our sister magazine INVISION reported on an optical retailer called Oculus Eyewear in San Marcos, TX, that sends every client a handwritten, custom-wax-stamp-sealed thank you card post-purchase. And yes, it is still possible in 2022 to buy sealing wax kits. You may want to practice first, though, using aluminum foil, parchment baking paper, or a silicone baking mat, so you can re-melt and reuse the wax until you get a handle on this. Sealing wax stands out. But it has the potential to be messy.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
