Happy Holidays!!!

Whether you love the holidays, or make a point of avoiding them altogether, we can still (probably) all agree that taking the time to appreciate someone you care about in a new and creative way is a beautiful thing to do.

Sometimes a small gesture can go a long way in creating genuinely positive emotions for both gift giver, and gift receiver.

At HackerNoon, the team decided to extend the nomination periods for both of the Startups and Noonies campaigns, as well as to launch the gift shop!

We wish everyone a wonderful and safe holiday season!

Below are some of the clever ideas:

Idea #1

Order 'your' human’s favourite gear/courses on HackerNoon’s online shop: https://shop.hackernoon.com!

Our long awaited HackerNoon Shop has recently launched, and has some incredible gift items ready for order.

Idea #3

Nominate Your Friend or Family Startup to Win as the Startup of the Year in a Particular City!

The Startups campaign celebrates the new companies created by the thinkers and doers that – regardless of what life tossed at them this year— have taken the situation by the horns and came out of it with a business plan and the balls (etc.) to launch it.

See our CEO and team have a beautiful discussion about this campaign here.
