Rewards for every Oscar Winning Moment in your life

Contributed by Tina Relampagos

Leonardo Di Caprio’s win at the 88^th Academy Awards is a win for everyone and Kate Winslet was there to make sure he sees how we all reacted.

Netizens went for an online group hug, he made sure everyone’s hears about climate change, and we’re wondering how excessively he’ll celebrate. His win is vindication for the great works he’s done for more than a decade, and boy does that feel familiar for many of us and the people we know.

Years of hard work and dedication and still we feel like it’s not enough. But when we hit that milestone, and we do hit a milestone – promotion, graduation, marriage, kids, etc. – it feels like the world is going for a slow clap only for you. It’s the same for every hard working friend and we shouldn’t hesitate to do our part in making him or her feel like a winner. Here are our Oscar Winning gifts for every milestone:

Retiring

Whether you’re up for your 6^th academy award nomination for more than a decade, drained by months of getting ready for entrance exams, gearing up to possibly being passed over for another promotion, or nerve stricken in signing the lease for your new house, we’ve all been through tough times that always, eventually, end up in one of our best Oscar Winning type of moments. And it is in those moments that we are reminded how much we treasure where we are, what we have and who we’re with. As a thoughtful friend, sister, brother, parent, never miss these moments again and send them a gift that will put an even brighter light on their milestone.
