Prize Possessions Looks Ahead to 50th Anniversary in 2027

Oct 5, 2026

A home-office idea for better golf awards grew into a family-owned business creating personalized recognition and gifts.

Norwood, Massachusetts, October 5, 2026 -- Prize Possessions is looking ahead to its 50th anniversary in 2027, nearly five decades after Ginny Durfee and Sarah Foehl started the business in 1977 with an idea for better golf awards than the ones their husbands were winning.

The company began with a single phone line, a typewriter, a small engraving machine and a client list of 30. Its first order was an awards commission for a local golf club, work that set the direction for what would become a personalized recognition and gifts business. Details of that founding period and the company's growth are recorded in its company history.

Rising demand through the 1980s led the company to move into a facility in Needham, Massachusetts, before later relocating to Norwood, where it remains based today. At its 20th anniversary in 1997, the company served more than 5,000 customers and moved into a 10,000-square-foot facility in Norwood. That year also saw typewriters give way to computers and the creation of a 20-page catalog.

Prize Possessions has continued to expand its personalization capabilities in the decades since. The company added laser engraving and airbrush color fill in 2003, expanded its glass etching capabilities in 2007, and introduced PrizeColor inkjet personalization in 2020. Alongside its awards and recognition items, the company now also offers custom collectibles and card printing, extending its personalization work beyond traditional trophies and plaques.

With expanding personalization and engraving techniques throughout the years, Prize Possessions was now positioned to be able to serve many other markets and industries outside of the golf world. Those industries include sailing, equestrian, trapshooting, sporting clays, polo, dog shows, tennis, the collegiate market, and collectible card services.

Over the years, Prize Possessions has consistently expanded and revamped its product line to include awards and gifts that work great in all areas of competition and recognition. The company specializes in member-guest and club championship awards, sailing regatta and race awards, equestrian show awards, year end banquet awards, collegiate athlete awards, croquet match awards, dog show awards, trapshooting, skeet shooting and sporting clays shooting awards, as well as many racquet sports including tennis, squash and pickleball.

The company's work today spans golf clubs, tournament organizers, businesses purchasing recognition awards, and individual gift buyers, drawing on techniques developed since its founding. More information on the company and its offerings is available at Prize Possessions.

Bangkok’s culinary stars fade amid rising costs, tighter budgets and fewer tourists

Earlier this year, Bangkok’s F&B scene pulled off a coup. At Asia’s 50 Best Bars awards in Macau, eight venues from Asia’s “City of Angels” crowded the list – rankings historically dominated by Hong Kong and Singapore – with four more in the 51-100 tier. The city’s restaurant honours tell a similar story – Sühring recently joined Sorn in holding three Michelin stars, and Bangkok claims nine spots on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, more than any other city. The tourism figures are equally bullish:...

The workout your body does while you’re lying down

We are constantly challenging ourselves each day. We track steps, count calories and book gym classes. But we’re forgetting the most powerful performance tool we have: sleep. Think of sleep as “fitness for your brain and body. Just like you can’t get stronger by skipping workouts, you can’t heal, focus, or lose weight by skipping sleep. Sleep fitness is training your body to recover well — night after night. Therefore, sleep deprivation is a no-no. Here’s the truth: seven to nine hours isn’t a luxury. It’s maintenance. Why sleep is your secret weapon Recovery: While you sleep, muscles repair, hormones balance, and your immune system resets. One bad night and cortisol — your stress hormone — spikes. Two bad nights and your cravings for sugar and coffee double. Plus, you get more irritable. Brain power: Sleep clears out mental “waste” through the lymphatic system. That’s why after eight hours, you make better decisions, handle stress better, and remember things. People don’t run on four hours of sleep. They crash because of it. Metabolism: Sleep regulates ghrelin and leptin — the hormones that tell you “I’m hungry” and “I’m full.” Sleep-deprived people don’t lack willpower. They’re biologically hungrier. 4 habits to build sleep fitness Start a sleep schedule: Your body loves rhythm. Go to bed and wake up within the same one-hour window, even on weekends. It’s like showing up at the gym. Consistency beats intensity. Cool down before bed: Athletes don’t sprint and then stop. They cool down. Do the same for your brain. By 60 minutes before bedtime, dim the lights, no more work emails, no watching heavy news and no violent movies. Try stretching, reading, prayer, or journaling. Build a sleep-friendly environment: Think dark, cool and quiet. The ideal temperature is 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Blackout curtains, earplugs, or a fan can help. Your bed is for sleep and rest only — not scrolling on your phone, not worrying. Watch what you ‘fuel’ with caffeine: After 2 p.m., caffeine stays in your system. Alcohol might knock you out but ruins deep sleep. And late, heavy meals make your body digest instead of recover. Say yes to water, not to milk tea at 10 p.m. The real goal Sleep fitness isn’t about perfect eight-hour nights. It’s about making sleep a priority, not an afterthought. You can out-train a bad diet. You can’t out-work a bad sleep schedule. Tonight, don’t just “go to bed. Recover. Because the strongest, clearest, kindest and most beautiful version of you shows up tomorrow — and she was built tonight, while you slept. Start small. 30 minutes earlier. Phone out of the room. One deep breath. Your body is already doing the work. So let it. *** Affirmation: “In sleep, I heal.” Love and light.
