It only happens once a year, but each year it seems to come around faster and faster – you know what I am talking about – Christmas. Yes, the festive season is almost upon us again and our thoughts turn to putting up trees, attending Christmas parties, and having a break over summer, however it’s the gift buying that tends to bring out the bah humbug in us, and often it’s because we really are unsure about what to buy – whether it be clients, friends or family. We are usually busy, feeling a bit stressed, and looking for a simple solution that still shows the recipient that we care, which is why a gift basket is a great idea as a Christmas present.
Convenience
Sending a gift basket is one of the most convenient gifts you can send. Most gift basket suppliers have an online purchasing system, so you can simply choose which gift you want, enter your details and that of the recipient, and then rest assured that the gift will be delivered without any further worry. It’s a great set and forget option if you have a very busy festive season.
Personalisation
Just because you can easily order a basket online doesn’t mean that the company can’t personalise the gift for you, particularly if your recipient has specific dietary or health requirements, or perhaps requires a ‘back story’ prior to delivery. You may want a particular item included that will have significant meaning to the recipient, perhaps you would like to use their favourite colour for the ribbon, or perhaps want to include your own hand written card. You’ll find the gift basket company is more than happy to accommodate these special request to ensure both you and the receiver are delighted with their basket.
Corporate
Choosing what to purchase for your clients can be tricky, often you are dealing with them over the phone or via email and generally you don’t enter into a lot of personal discussion, therefore choosing an office friendly gift that can be shared between a few or many works really well. They may choose to separate out the items, or use them for an ‘at work’ event such as afternoon tea, or Friday drinks.
Budget Friendly
You’ll find baskets come in a large range of sizes, themes, and prices, making it possible to find a basket that not only suits the recipient but also matches your budgetary requirements too.
