The bracelets in the fi eld are braided by the soldiers with parachute cord. They are known as survival bracelets because they can be unraveled and the paracord can be used for many purposes in a pinch. They are also exchanged among the soldiers as friendship bracelets. Often a uniform button is sewn on and used as the clasp.

The designer version has a sterling silver clasp shaped like a uniform button and is extremely tightly braided. Sterling silver and gold plated sterling silver heart clasps with, and without, a small diamond are also available.

The button clasp symbolizes the uniform. The clasped bracelet symbolizes the bond among the soldiers that can never be broken. To some, each knot in the bracelet symbolizes a fallen hero.

The campaign is based on the sales of a designer version of the survival and friendship bracelets worn by many US and allied soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

For every bracelet sold in Sioux City or Sioux Falls, $20 will be donated to Homes For Our Troops.

The campaign is part of a national effort to raise signifi cant funds for veterans’ aid organizations and bring attention to the special needs of returning heroes.

“We are very pleased to partner with Gunderson’s Jewelers in support of this unifying cause,” stated Niels Christiansen, CEO of LovelinksAmerica, the Massachusetts Company behind the national campaign. “From Soldier To Soldier is neither for nor against war. It is for our young men and women who put their lives on the line for our country and made horrifi c sacrifi ces. It is about the survival, friendship and commitment symbolized by these bracelets.”

THE LAVISH WORLD OF RED CARPETS, DESIGNER DIAMONDS

AND TOP-NOTCH PARTIES JUST MOVED A FEW DEGREES CLOSER

TO SIOUX CITY AND SIOUX FALLS. GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY

TO MIX WITH SOME OF THE WORLD’S ELITE, WE HAVE MADE

CONNECTIONS WITH MOVIE STARS, POLITICIANS, ATHLETES

AND CELEBRITIES.

Nearly 25 years ago, Brian Gunderson met Kory, a former pole vaulter for the U.S. Olympic Team. At that time, Kory was searching for the perfect engagement ring and with Brian’s assistance he found it here at Gunderson’s Jewelers. Through this association, Brian and Kory soon became close friends.

Unexpectedly, after Kory relocated to Monaco, this friendship created an opportunity for us to move Gunderson’s Jewelers into the world of the jet set. Located along the beautiful French Riviera, Monaco is frequented by the rich and famous in pursuit of relaxation, gambling, entertainment and sports venues, all enjoyed in picturesque settings. Kory also became friends with Prince Albert II of Monaco and they travel together to attend a variety of sporting events.

On Brian’s fi rst trip to visit Kory in Monaco, he was introduced to a variety of prominent people. The fi rst of these encounters took place at the famous Monaco Grand Prix. This Formula One motor race has been taking place annually since 1929 and is commonly referred to as the most prestigious automobile race in the world. Brian attended the Monaco Grand Prix alongside Kory who introduced him to Prince Albert II of Monaco. Brian was then invited to attend Prince Albert II’s lavish cocktail party aboard his yacht. Brian attended the cocktail party with fellow Gunderson’s group members, one of whom is a graduate of Morningside College.

Ironically, at the Prince’s cocktail party, they stumbled upon another Morningside College graduate. This amazing coincidence truly demonstrates the concept of a small world!

Following the cocktail party, Brian was fortunate to attend the Monte Carlo Masters as the Prince’s guest. In another “small world” encounter, Brian had the chance to meet two former Nebraska Cornhusker standouts, Ndamukong Suh and Cody Glenn. Both were in Monaco for some pre-NFL training. Suh later played for the Detroit Lions and Glenn was drafted by the Washington Redskins.

In February 2011, Brian attended Sir Elton John’s 19th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party at the Pacifi c Design Center in West Hollywood. This high-profi le event was founded in 1993 by Sir Elton John with proceeds benefi tting the Elton John Aids Foundation. The Foundation supports innovative HIV/AIDS prevention, education programs, direct care and support services to individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

This lavish event for a great cause featured an extraordinary dinner, live auction and special performance by Florence and the Machine. In addition, Brian had the opportunity to attend the private pre-party with Sir Elton John and select celebrities. During this event, Brian was seated near Kelly Osborne, Smokey Robinson and Quincy Jones, and directly next to Sir Ben Kingsley and his wife, Daniela Lavender. Gunderson’s Jewelers was a featured advertisement in the evening’s program.

Several months following the Academy Awards Viewing Party, Brian had another star-studded adventure while attending the 2011 Britannia Awards at the Beverly Hills Hilton. Established in 1987, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) forms a connection between Hollywood and British production and entertainment communities. The highest award offered by BAFTA is the Britannia Award which annually honors the dedication of individuals and companies who advance entertainment communities.

The 2011 Britannia Awards honored Warren Beatty, Helena Bonham Carter, John Lasseter, Ben Stiller and David Yates. During this experience, Brian was fortunate enough to participate in the Red Carpet Walk which included a VIP Cocktail Party and attendance to the Main Event. He also had the honor of meeting Warren Beatty, Annette Benning, Morgan Freeman, Robin Williams, Shirley Maclaine and Dame Helen Mirren. The evening’s program featured a Gunderson’s Jewelers advertisement.

HUGO MOVIE PREMIER

2011

Among Brian’s long-list of adventures came the Hugo movie premiere in November 2011. From award-winning director Martin Scorsese, the critically acclaimed Hugo follows the life of a young, recently orphaned boy living inside a Parisian train station clock. Starring Sir Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen and Asa Butterfi eld, the movie went on to win fi ve Oscars. Brian attended the premiere with Sir Ben Kingsley and Daniela Lavender. Brian was also honored to provide a jewelry ensemble for Daniela to wear at the event which he personally delivered to their suite at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. During the gala event, Brian met director Martin Scorsese and actress Sacha Baron Cohen.

After providing a jewelry ensemble for Daniela Lavender at the Hugo movie premiere, Gunderson’s Jewelers was given the exclusive opportunity to select all the jewelry ensembles for a new in-production movie titled, A Birder’s Guide to Everything. The movie stars Sir Ben Kingsley, Kodi Smit-McPhee, James LeGros and Daniela Lavender. This coming-of-age comedy follows the life of young high school student and bird enthusiast, David Portnoy. The adventure begins when David spots an extinct duck. Anticipating a once in a lifetime opportunity, he proceeds to rally a few of his close friends to take a road trip to locate the bird. The release date for A Birder’s Guide to Everything is set for January 2013.

This past year, our team at Gunderson’s Jewelers held a co-exhibition in accordance with the Ansel Adams: Masterworks Exhibition. This special two-day exhibition was titled, Ansel Rocks. It featured a multimillion dollar collection of rare colored diamonds and gemstones alongside notable Ansel Adams black-and-white nature photographs. The exhibition took place at the Washington Pavilion Visual Arts Center in Sioux Falls, SD.

Known for their brilliance, natural color diamonds are miracles of nature appearing in a variety of colors and shades. No two natural color diamonds are alike which contributes to the uniqueness and rarity of each gem. During the exhibition, the natural color diamonds and gemstones on display ranged from a stunning black diamond jewelry set to an exquisite 40-carat blue sapphire ring. One of the more popular items was a unique yellow diamond ring.

American photographer Ansel Adams was best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West. Most of his life’s work was devoted to the country’s remaining pieces of untouched wilderness, especially in national parks. Ansel Adams: Masterworks Exhibition featured a collection of 48 works that captured the drama and beauty of natural environments, including Yosemite National Park and The Sierra Nevada.

The Ansel Adams: Masterworks Exhibition was on display for two months at the Washington Pavilion; however, with the help of our team at Gunderson’s Jewelers, the special two-day Ansel Rocks exhibit was put together to highlight the natural essence of both the black-and-white prints and the natural color diamonds and gemstones.

BLUE DIAMONDSOrigin: India, Australia, South Africa

THE COLOR OF THE OCEAN AND SKY IS REFLECTED IN THESE

EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL AND EXTREMELY RARE GEMS. WHILE FEW

INDIVIDUALS HAVE EVER SEEN ONE, MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THEIR

BEAUTY AND RARITY. RANGING FROM THE LIGHT BLUE OF A WINTER’S

DAY TO THE DEEP HUE OF A PEACOCK’S TAIL, EACH SHADE IS EXQUISITE.

Known for its mystery and legacy, the Hope Diamond is deep blue in color and weighs 45.52-carats. The infamous diamond changed hands and countries several different times throughout the past few centuries and to each individual that possessed it the Hope Diamond brought unfortunate luck. The diamond can now be found in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

RED CARPET: Gloria Stewart, the actress who played the elderly Rose in the movie Titanic, wore a $20 million dollar, 15-carat, blue diamond necklace to the Academy Awards. Actress Amy Adams wore natural blue diamond earrings to claim her Best Supporting Actress award at the Independent Spirit Awards in 2006.

Natural color diamonds are known for their brilliance and unique colors. The presence of color is an entirely natural process; no two are exactly alike. These natural color diamonds have the amazing optical properties of diamonds with a body color that exudes warmth, sophistication and elegance. Nature’s forces create only one natural color diamond for every 10,000 colorless diamonds. This means that every natural color diamond is one of the most extraordinary gems in the world. All diamonds are rare, but natural color diamonds are extremely rare. Each one is a wonder, a miracle of nature.

Highly noted for their uniqueness and variety, natural color diamonds have been gracing the Red Carpet with their elegance and sophistication since the start of the new millennium. The fashion world has seen an explosion of these diamonds on runways and in style magazines. The fashion media love to highlight hot new trends, and natural color diamonds have provided that opportunity. Similar to other pieces of jewelry, these diamonds have seasonal color trends that keep them current with the latest fashion. Over the past year, the most prominent natural color diamond trends have been blue, brown, pink, black and gray.

PINK DIAMONDSOrigin: India, Tanzania, Western Australia

INTENSE AND VIBRANT, PINK DIAMONDS ARE HOT! PINK HAS LONG

BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH FEMININITY, LOVE AND DEVOTION. FOUND IN

ONLY A FEW MINES AROUND THE WORLD, PINK DIAMONDS HAVE BEEN

CHERISHED SINCE THE 17TH CENTURY. TODAY, THE ARGYLE MINE IN

NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA PRODUCES ALMOST ALL OF THE WORLD’S

SUPPLY. THEIR RARITY IS LEGENDARY. IN FACT, A WHOLE YEAR OF

ARGYLE’S INTENSE PINK DIAMOND PRODUCTION IS SMALL ENOUGH

TO FIT IN THE PALM OF ONE HAND.

The most notorious pink diamond is the Williamson Pink Diamond. This diamond was discovered in a Tanzanian diamond mine in 1947. Later, it was given to Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip as a wedding gift; at that time, the uncut diamond weighed 54.5-carats. In 1952, the diamond was cut down to 23.6-carats and placed into the center of a fl ower brooch. The pink diamond brooch is still owned by Queen Elizabeth II today.

RED CARPET: Pink diamonds sprang into the spotlight when actress Jennifer Lopez received a 6.5-carat pink, radiant-cut diamond engagement ring. While the engagement did not last, the ring drew the attention of fashion leaders around the world. Actress Vivica Fox wore a pink diamond dress by Randi Rahm to the Oscars, paired with a pink diamond fl ower ring along with pink and yellow natural color diamond earrings. Additionally, Selma Hayek wore a 6.17-carat intense pink diamond to the Academy Awards.

BROWN DIAMONDSOrigin: Western Australia, South Africa

THE COLOR BROWN IS OFTEN RECOGNIZED AS NATURAL AND ORGANIC.

IT REPRESENTS STABILITY, RELIABILITY AND FRIENDSHIP. THE BROWN

COLORED DIAMONDS ARE GRADUALLY INCREASING IN POPULARITY DUE

TO THEIR SOFT AND GENTLE APPEARANCE WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE NEW

EARTH-TONE TRENDS. THEIR NEUTRAL COLOR MAKES THEM THE PERFECT

CHOICE FOR TIMELESS JEWELRY WITH A CONTEMPORARY FLAIR.

The Golden Jubilee, a dark, rich champagne color diamond weighing 545-carats is the largest cut natural color diamond in the world. The Golden Jubilee was discovered in a South African mine in 1985 and was given its name over 10 years later. At that time, the diamond was presented to the King of Thailand for the 50th anniversary of his ascension to the throne, otherwise known as his Golden Jubilee.

RED CARPET: Actress Cameron Diaz wore a 20-carat cognac color diamond with her Prada dress to the Academy Awards. Jennifer Love-Hewitt fl aunted a 7-carat brown diamond at the Oscars and Kathleen Bird York sang her Oscar-nominated song, “In the Deep”, wearing a spectacular pair of 20-carat, natural champagne and cognac diamond earrings.

BLACK DIAMONDSOrigin: Brazil, West Africa

BLACK IS THE ABSENCE OF COLOR AND IN THE DEPTHS OF A NATURAL

BLACK DIAMOND, LIGHT ABSORPTION IS NEARLY COMPLETE. WHAT

MAKES THESE GEMS SO HYPNOTIC IS THAT THE PLAY OF LIGHT IS

RETAINED, CREATING A UNIQUE VISUAL EFFECT. BLACK DIAMONDS

ARE GROWING IN POPULARITY DUE TO THEIR VERSATILITY AND

EYE-CATCHING APPEARANCE. COLLECTORS PRIZE THESE UNUSUAL

DIAMONDS WHICH ARE JUST BEGINNING TO BE SEEN AND APPRECIATED

IN FASHION JEWELRY.

As a blending of black and white, gray is a non-spectral color that makes all others possible. In pure form, gray color diamonds are fl inty in appearance and to an untrained eye can seem quite close to colorless. They are a highly prized rarity and offer a wondrous range of modifying color combinations, including pink and blue.

The largest cut black diamond is the Spirit of de Grisogono. Discovered in a West African mine, the uncut diamond weighed 587-carats. The gem was later cut down to a weight of 312.24-carats and placed into a ring with 702 white diamonds surrounding it. The Spirit of de Grisogono is not only the largest cut black diamond, but is also the fi fth largest diamond in the world. In 1980, the diamond was purchased by a private buyer and has not been seen or heard of since.

RED CARPET: In 2008, actress Carmen Electra received a black 2-carat diamond engagement ring from her then fi ancé, Rob Patterson. This bold engagement ring started a new trend in unique and rare black gems. Jennifer Lopez wore natural gray diamond jewelry to the 79th annual Academy Awards, and suddenly, gray diamonds were all the rage!

I cannot wait to say, “I do,” and to slip on his ring, which I’ve had cleverly

engraved, “I love you more.”

I went to Fort Rucker, Alabama with Donald and his family to visit his brother Damon, a second Lieutenant in the Army. During the Saturday we were there Donald’s mom had suggested we all go to the beach in Florida. After a three-hour drive to Destin, Florida and an additional 30 minutes to fi nd parking we walked along the boardwalk which was across the canal from the beach. Getting to the beach required swimming or a boat taxi that was fi ve dollars per person to ride and as much as I enjoyed the beach, $30 dollars for all of us just wasn’t worth it. We all continued to walk a little farther down the boardwalk but Donald’s mom kept pushing the two of us to go to the beach together; I fi nally gave in.

After a fi fteen minute wait for a one minute boat ride, we fi nally made it to the beach side. I took off my fl ip-fl ops eager to feel the Gulf sand for the fi rst time and to splash in the ocean water. The sky was literally purple and pink as the sun set; the water was so calm and blue against the white sand. After a few minutes of my childish play, Donald called me over and gave me a hug as he said, “I love you,” which wasn’t out of the ordinary because we will randomly say it and even have an ongoing battle of who loves who more. I replied, “I love you more,” and was surprised when he didn’t object like he often does. Instead, Donald said, “Then will you do me a favor?” I told him yes but before I could even piece it together he got down on one knee and asked, “Will you marry me?” After a short moment, I realized that I hadn’t taken a breath or gotten the chance to reply; I was speechless! I said yes and got teary-eyed as he slipped the most beautiful ring on my fi nger.

Donald and I are getting married on the beach in California and I am beyond happy to say I am marrying the most wonderful man. I cannot wait to say, “I do,” and to slip on his ring, which I’ve had cleverly engraved, “I love you more.”

DONALD & ASHLEYPROPOSAL DATE: JULY 28TH, 2012

DONALD AND I MET THREE YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME, WE WERE CO-

WORKERS AT JETSUN AVIATION CENTRE. WE SPENT A FEW MONTHS

FLIRTING BUT IT DIDN’T BECOME SERIOUS UNTIL THE SUMMER OF

2010. I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS ABILITY TO MAKE ME LAUGH AND AM

THE HAPPIEST WHEN I AM WITH HIM.

Anxious, I wanted to get inside to explain why we were late but instead saw something

beautiful, shiny and breathtaking.

JEFF & ALISHAPROPOSAL DATE: JUNE 12TH, 2012

BEFORE JEFF PROPOSED, I WAS JOKING AROUND SAYING HE NEEDED

TO HURRY UP AND PROPOSE. I DEFINITELY WASN’T SERIOUS. WE BOTH

KNEW WE WANTED TO BE TOGETHER AND THAT WE WOULD EVENTU-

ALLY GET MARRIED BUT I WAS LEAVING THE TIMING UP TO HIM.

On the day Jeff proposed we had gone boating with my parents and made plans to meet some of our friends at my parents’ house afterward to play games. We were running late after boating and I needed to change before heading over to my parents’ house; basically, I was rushing. Jeff had originally planned to propose while we were at my house but I was in such a hurry that he didn’t have a chance. We quickly got into the truck and began our short journey to my parents’ house. The entire ride Jeff kept explaining how much he loved me and I concurred. It wasn’t anything new; he always expresses how much he loves me. Even though we were running late, Jeff asked me to pull over so he could use the bathroom but I didn’t stop until we made it to my parents’ house. Anxious, I wanted to get inside to explain why we were late but instead saw something beautiful, shiny and breathtaking.

Additionally, I saw the man that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I had goose bumps and was, for once in my life, speechless. I began to cry and told Jeff, “I was so mean today and had no idea. You surprised me. How did you? When did you? It’s so beautiful and exactly what I wanted!”

Later that week, Jeff explained the process he went through to fi nd my exquisite ring. He found it at Gunderson’s Jewelers with the help of Deb Willer, a kind and helpful sales associate. It took Jeff three weeks to fi nd a diamond he liked and an additional three weeks to pick out the perfect band. Overall, I am beyond thankful to have been introduced to Jeff by my colleague. I believe our love story is unique and my ring is just as special as our story.

PATRICK & SHANNONPROPOSAL DATE: JULY 4TH, 2012

The week of the Fourth of July, Patrick and I went to Lake Havasu, Arizona to celebrate with a group of friends. On the night of the Fourth, Patrick and I were sitting on a bench watching the fi reworks when he looked at me and said, “I don’t want to be your boyfriend anymore.” I just nudged him with my arm assuming he was joking when he suddenly got down on one knee and said, “I want to be your husband; will you marry me?” My response was, “Of course I will!” Directly after I responded our friends began spraying cham-pagne all over us!

BRYCE & LEXIEPROPOSAL DATE: SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2012

BRYCE PROPOSED TO LEXIE ON HER BIRTHDAY WHICH HAPPENS TO BE

SEPTEMBER 11TH. SINCE BRYCE IS IN THE AIR FORCE CURRENTLY STATIONED

IN JAPAN, THE PROPOSAL WAS DONE OVER SKYPE WITH THE HELP OF

BRYCE’S MOM AND LEXIE’S PARENTS.

Prior to proposing, Bryce called Lexie’s father to ask for his permission to propose and then proceeded to make arrangements for it to be done on her birthday. With the help of Deb Willer from Gunderson’s Jewelers, Bryce was able to select the ring by email. Deb sent pictures of rings to both Bryce and Lexie’s father allowing them to choose their favorite; they both chose the same ring. He then arranged for his mom, Patti, to pick up the ring from Gunderson’s Jewelers the morning of Lexie’s birthday. After getting the ring, Patti went to Lexie’s house to meet up with her parents and once they were all in the room together, Patti texted her son to let him know they were ready. The next step was convincing Lexie to Skype Bryce with all of them present. Knowing she couldn’t fi ght the parental pressure, Lexie brought her laptop up to Skype him. Bryce fi rst asked Lexie, “How was your birthday?” and then added, “I have one more thing. Will you marry me?” Not only did he propose, but Lexie’s father got down on one knee and placed the ring on her fi nger for Bryce.

Bryce and Lexie will be married early next year upon Bryce’s return. Although Bryce will be done in Japan, he will only be home for a 25-day break before getting reassigned. At that point, Lexie will be able to go with Bryce.

KYLE & STEPHANIEPROPOSAL DATE: MAY 30TH, 2012

WHEN KYLE PROPOSED, I WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LAYING BRICK FOR THE LANDSCAPING COMPANY HE WAS WORKING FOR AT THE TIME BUT, INSTEAD, THERE HE WAS DOWN ON ONE KNEE, ASKING ME TO MARRY HIM.

It started out as an ordinary day. I was home from college for a few days before moving to the camp I would be working at for the summer. After lounging around the house for several hours, I decided it was time for a nap, but before I had a chance to lie down, my sister asked my mom if she would drive her to the lake to take some pictures. Unaware of the situation, they had staged an argument that resulted in me accompanying my sister to the lake. On our way there, I asked my sister why she wanted to go to the lake and her reply was that she just wanted to take some pictures. Once we made it to the lake, my sister started taking pictures of random things; I found it odd but it was a nice day and we were enjoying the sunshine. The two of us walked to the end of a bridge overlooking the water when my sister asked, “Do you trust me?” I replied, “What are you talking about?” She then proceeded to blindfold me. As I was gripping onto the bridge railing unsure of the situation, Kyle was walking down the bridge towards us. My sister told me to listen quietly to the water when suddenly, I heard Kyle say, “You can turn around now.” Not expecting to see him for a few more weeks, I spun around to see him kneeling there with a ring! He proceeded to ask, “Will you marry me?” and I quickly responded, “Yes!”

KODY & LINDSAYPROPOSAL DATE: MAY 30TH, 2012

KODY’S PROPOSAL WAS BEYOND UNEXPECTED. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT A FEW TIMES, BUT I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN IT DID.

Kody brought me to his mom’s work at Gunderson’s Jewelers to look at rings one day. While we were there he asked which rings I liked best and told me he just wanted ideas for future reference. After enjoying the fun of trying on rings we left the store and went back to Kody’s house to hang out. Shortly afterward we decided to head to the lake to spend some time together. When we arrived at the lake it was really cloudy and cold. On the dock we just hugged and talked for a bit until it began pouring rain. We took off running for the car when Kody said, “Wait, I have a question for you” and as I turned around he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. My eyes got teary as I stared at him in shock and replied, “Oh my gosh! Yes, of course.” After the proposal, I was still in shock! Since the day I met Kody I knew that he was the one and the most amazing feeling was seeing him on one knee proposing to me. I absolutely adore him and am blessed to have someone like him in my life.

Kody and I got married August 31st, 2012 in a small church in Onawa, Iowa. That was truly the happiest day of my life. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him and to start a family together....as I turned around he got down on one

knee and asked me to marry him. My eyes got teary as I stared at him in shock and

replied, “Oh my gosh! Yes, of course”

It has been proven repeatedly that rewarding faithful employee service is good business. Corporate recognition programs help generate a sense of teamwork within the workplace while reducing employee turnover and cutting recruiting and training costs. Not only do incentive programs keep employees motivated, but they also offer them a sense of value within the company. Nordic Premiums offers a variety of successful award programs. We work with your company on all aspects of corporate awards programs by making recommendations based on your input. We feel that honesty, stability and consistency are vital to successful recognition programs.

Employees will appreciate the fact that you are working with a trusted South Dakota business for your corporate award needs. Nordic Premiums offers the best of both worlds: the buying power of a national organization along with the trust and service of an established South Dakota business.

Necessity is the mother of invention but it was truly a popular demand that led to the birth of Nordic Premiums. Gunderson’s Jewelers is known for its reputation of quality service and value. Customers began turning to Gunderson’s when they wanted to purchase a recognition gift for years of service, a token of appreciation, a retirement gift or a holiday remembrance for their employees and business colleagues. In order to respond to that need Gunderson’s Premium Incentives (GPI) was created in the 1990’s; however, with a new century came a new name, Nordic Premiums, and a newly expanded catalog of products. Going beyond the classic items – elegant watches, stunning jewelry, engraved platters and crystal – Nordic Premiums line includes a full range of recognition awards, incentives and promotional items that are perfect for businesses of any shape or size. Fortune 100 companies, large local companies, philanthropic organizations, local 501(c)3’s and even small single-owner companies have been served by Nordic Premiums.

As a member of the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI), Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) and the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) we have over 10,000 vendors and offer competitive pricing on over 350,000 promotional products. When you contact us for a price quote or an award idea, expect a response back by the next day. If it is an unusual or complex request, an answer will be given within 48 hours. In most cases, we can provide a sample of the award or gift you select allowing you to see the quality of the item prior to making a commitment.

As well as providing unique items of outstanding quality, Nordic Premiums also puts the “premium” in customization, with computerized engraving, graphic design for embroidery or screen printing, and a wide variety of other applications. Everything from t-shirts, hats and sports gear to watches, jewelry, and fi ne collectibles becomes a canvas for the work of Nordic Premium’s talented staff.

“I think the items we create for our customers are among the best,” says Larry Bauer, the Nordic Premiums manager. “Whether it’s working with a company to provide a memento that expresses their gratitude to a donor, a Human Resource department looking for a way to recognize an employee or an individual looking for an engraved plaque, we work to bring out the uniqueness of the gift and enhance the perceived value. It can be a complex process but the results are, in my estimation, outstanding thanks to our staff and their skill.”

Nordic Premiums offers many programs to help make your business more successful. We are happy to develop any program to suit the needs of your company. Our staff conducts an analysis of your company’s current program and then customizes a program based on your staff, donors or customers demographics. In custom programs, we can relieve the stress from Human Resources departments by writing a letter to the employee on your company’s letterhead, handling the mailing, coordinating the program and delivering the gifts. Our new web presence has allowed us to further expand into a concept known as The Company Store. Customized to a specifi c business, The Company Store is a way for our clients to provide easy online

access to branded items for their employees, sales representatives and department heads. Some items of particular interest and appeal can even be offered to the general public. Other web extras include our Online Awards Program. In this program, company employees are given the opportunity to select their own recognition gift by logging onto their company’s custom designed page.

While the internet will continue to serve customers electronically, the knowledgeable Nordic Premiums staff will continue to provide one-on-one service that is at the heart of our success. At Nordic Premiums, we feel that the most important aspect of serving people is getting to know them. We are proud to know our clients as customers and as friends.
