NEWS FOR NOVEMBER! 

We have just added a couple of new designs to our baby section with more to com soon!  

At this festive time, it is our wish to give back to those who are in need. Give 'em a Basket will donate $1.00 from every Christmas gift basket ordered to The Childrens Wish Foundation. Your card will read:

A donation has been made to the Childrens Wish Foundation by receiving this gift basket! Thank you.

Greetings, and welcome to November! Need a gift for the upcoming Christmas holiday season? Whether it be a hostess gift or a large family basket we certainly can provide you with a beautiful custom basket! Call us, we have gifts from $6.50 and up!

 Remember none of our baskets are premade. They are prepared as ordered,  keep this in mind when searching for a gifting company. Many are pre-made and sit on a shelf awaiting an order.  

Not sure what to give this holiday season? How about a gift basket that may keep disease at bay. Here is a sampling of what we can include in a healthy gift basket and their benefits.

Smoked Salmon-an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids that may help reduce blood pressure. Dark chocolate- contains antioxidants that may prevent free radicals that can damage arteries.(And tastes delicious) Red Wine- which if consumed in moderation, contains bio-active compounds thought to have cardio protective effects. Whole grain crackers- are a great source of fibre. Nuts- good source of plant derived omega 3 fatty acids, which may improve bad cholesterol levels in blood. These and others would make an excellent gift for anyone.

For our business clients, please note that we can include your business card and any company branded gift item you may wish to put in the gift basket to your clients. For those that have a small home based business and not a huge budget, we have some nice selections and can also include your card and small item with your thank you gifts. Some examples of things businesses can include are:

Dentist- Travel size brush & toothpaste.

Physio and Massage Therapists- Pedometers or Stress ball.

Nail Technicians & Hair Dressers- Nail file, small sample size handcream, or small sample size shampoo & conditioner.

Optometrists-Eyeglass wipes. 

Realtors & Mortgage brokers- Magnets with calendars attached, conversion magnets (Imperial to metric) , Pens & pads.  

Pet Groomers- Small bag of dog treats.

Car Sales person- Car airfreshner.

Accountants & Financial planners- Mini purse size calculator with pen and pad.

Well, these are just a few suggestions, you may have your own ideas. But just to let you know they are great add ons to any gift to say thanks, we appreciate your business!    

Now that we have most of our Christmas designs online, we will be re-designing many of our current baskets, and creating new categories as well.  Please check back regularly for updates and new designs and products. 

I look forward hearing from you, your input is extremely important to us. Feel free to email or call us with suggestions of baskets and or product you would like to see.  

"New" We now offer the option when purchasing a new born gift, you may add at a discounted price a sibling gift for no additional shipping!    

When searching for a gifting company, please take note when reading peoples "Testimonials" If they did such a great job for their clients, why not have their name and or company fully represented. I get cautious when I am on any site where they just put a first name or intial, names and how they did can be made up. We are proud of the job we do and thankful to our wonderful clients who acknowledge such! Thank you all.

Important information! My old site www.giveemabasket.com has recently been purchased before I could resubmit the application. Please be advised it is by no means related to my company what so ever and  has nothing to do with my new site. Thank you!

Tips for Corporate Gifting:

-Gifts for a department should be presents that can be easily shared and enjoyed. Keep in mind if giving a gift basket based around food, it should contain some sugar free treats along side with decadent boxes of cookies, chocolates and snacks.

-If possible, deliver your gift in person or have your sales team deliver them to make sure it reaches the intended parties, and also a chance to extend your appreciation to them.

-Always remember your gift is a reflection of both you and your company. Make sure it is of quality, doesn't leak or  poor workmanship.

-Whenever possible showcase your company. Customize the gift with company items, it is a great marketing opportunity.
