Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the October issue of 'What's New at DeskDemon' and a belated Happy National PA Day to you all!

Now, with Christmas only a couple of months away, it's never too early to get organised and if you are looking at venues, present ideas, catering - we've got some fabulous offers and ideas.

Dymo is offering great cashback offers on label making machines - perfect for invites, envelopes, present labels and general organisation.

Up next is Pilot who is offering one lucky winner £300 of V5/V7 Hi-Tecpoint Cartridge System pens and refills - just what you need for writing those long to-do lists and then ticking off your jobs already done - satisfaction guaranteed.

Gift cards are the perfect way to thank employees after a long hard year and we have two fabulous offers to share with you. Arcadia gift cards can be spent in many high street locations and online too. And if you buy an SVM gift card you could win either £100 card for yourself or get your hands a discount e-code.

And whether it's a Christmas event or just another day, we all need to eat and Urbanbite is offering Londoners a whopping £15 off their first catering order.

Fancy an extra Christmas present for yourself? Take part in our fantastic Brother competition and you could win a luxury spa holiday to Thailand or perhaps a Cambridge Satchel bag! Marriott, ideal for parties and events, and if you are booking meetings why not take advantage of its offer of free places when you book more than ten delegates plus earn up to 100,000 Marriott Rewards® points.

Happy Reading - Alison Pedrick
