Purim in Canada - Kosher Gift Baskets

2011-02-28T16:00:00.004-05:00

Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.

PURIM - Commemorates the deliverance of Persian Jews from their intended destruction by Haman, the Prime minister of King Ahasuerus also called Xerxes (470 BC). The holiday is marked by the reading of the Megillah (The Biblical Book of Esther) which recounts the details of how Queen Esther and Mordecai managed to thwart Haman's plot.

Because of its uniquely joyful nature, Purim is the occasion for parties and other festivities. It is customary to send food gifts and Gift Baskets ('mishloach manot') to friends and to distribute charity. A special festive meal ('purim seudah') is held on Purim afternoon.

A special pastry called Hamantaschen, which is said to resemble Haman's hat, is eaten. Read from the Megillah (The Book of Esther). Adults and children come dressed in Biblical Costume as Esther, Mordecai, King Ahasuarus, or Haman (Boooooo!) and let’s Nosh some Hamantashen. When the name of Haman is mentioned, make as much noise as possible!!!!!

As usual, Gifts for Every Reason once again has PURIM gift baskets delivering anywhere in Canada. This year, enjoy a special treat with FREE Delivery anywhere in Ontario AND Quebec. Send your loved ones a fun and tasty gift this Purim. Toronto, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Montreal, Quebec and more!

Christmas Gift Baskets Canada

2010-11-05T06:16:00.001-04:00

Once again, its that time of year when we feverishly design new Christmas Gift Baskets, taste test products, photograph, price and update our website. Then we redesign and re photo and re cost due to supplier product issues.

We've had to purge items and move things around just to make room for the hundreds of Holiday Gift Baskets that will be going out the door. More employees have been hired and we've stocked up on our vitamin supply for those anticipated late nights. Its a very busy time of the year for us and also, a very exciting time of the year.

Orders have already began to pour in and deliveries are being scheduled. A lot of our corporate clients like to add their company's promotional materials to the gift baskets to make them stand out. Company mugs, pens, calenders and special labels are just a few things that are added.

The poor economy has certainly has its effect on us as with all businesses but, this years orders are fully expected to surpass last years. The only issues we will (and already have) encountered is the lack of inventory from our suppliers. Stock will be very low on their end and once a product is gone - its gone.

Visit our website for our selection of Christmas and Hanukkah Gift Baskets and order early to avoid disappointment. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Bigger is NOT always Better ... Corporate Gifts Canada

2010-07-26T07:57:00.000-04:00

Most of our corporate customers are concerned with how they portray their company’s image. Sometimes, they feel that sending a client, a BIG basket is a GREAT way to show off their image. Let me tell you, that Big is NOT always better and could in fact, harm your company’s image.

From past experience, we have come to realize that people that receive a larger basket, filled with low quality items, have a tendancy to throw out a lot of the items and think less of the sender. On the other hand, smaller baskets filled with slighter better quality or more specialty items tend to be used, cherished and certainly remembered in a much more positive way.

Everyone wants the biggest basket at the cheapest price but wouldn’t you rather be remembered for having the classiest basket, the yummiest basket, the highest quality gift basket… a basket that reflects your quality of service and your commitment to the needs of your customer and your product?

At Gifts for Every Reason, we specialize in ‘quality’. Quality products, quality presentation, quality delivery. When we design, we keep in mind todays trends, colours, budgets and tastes and we’ll provide your customers with something positive that they will remember and pass on to their friends and families.

Passover Gift Baskets in Toronto, Montreal & Canada

2010-02-26T15:51:00.008-05:00

Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the most popular Jewish holidays. It is an 8-day holiday which celebrates the Jews who fled Egypt after more than 200 years of slavery.

It is a special time for family gatherings and meals called Seders where the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah. It tells of how Moses demands the Egyptian Pharaoh to let his people go. With the Pharaoh’s continued refusals, G_d set forth 10 plagues including the slaying of the first born. The Hebrews were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord (the angel of death) passed over these homes, providing the origin of the name "passover".

Traditional foods are eaten during the seder dinner:

Unleaved bread called Matzo (When the Pharaoh finally freed the Hebrews, it is said that they left in such a hurry that they could not wait for bread to rise.

The dipping of a spring vegetable into salt water. The vegetable is a sign of spring, or rebirth, and the salt water represent the tears of the slaves.

Bitter herbs, as a reminder of the bitterness of slavery.

A special mixture, called Charoset, which is made of apples, nuts, wine, and cinnamon to represent the mortar that the slaves made their bricks from.

Drinking four cups of wine or grape juice—a royal drink to celebrate newfound freedom

Sending gift baskets from Gifts for Every Reason, filled with authentic, Kosher for Passover food, has become a popular choice for family and friends.

Happy Purim - Kosher Gift Baskets

2010-02-16T06:52:00.006-05:00

Pûrîm is a festival that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people of the ancient Persian Empire from Haman's plot to annihilate them. According to the story, Haman cast lots to determine the day upon which to exterminate the Jews, but his plans were foiled by Esther, his queen.

Morecai, a palace official, cousin and foster parent of Esther, subsequently replaced Haman as the new King. The The Jews were delivered from being the victims of an evil decree against them and were instead allowed by the new King to destroy their enemies, and the day after the battle was designated as a day of feasting and rejoicing.

Purim is characterized by public recitation of the Book of Esther (keriat ha-megilla), giving mutual gifts of food and drink (Mishloach Manot), giving charity to the poor (mattanot la-evyonim), and a celebratory meal (se'udat Purim); other customs include drinking wine, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration - and of course, sending one of our delicious Kosher Gift Baskets!

Christmas Gifts / Holiday Baskets

2009-11-04T06:44:00.005-05:00

We've had to purge items and move things around just to make room for the hundreds of Holiday Gift Baskets that will be going out the door. More employees have been hired and we've stocked up on our vitamin supply for those anticipated late nights. Its a very busy time of the year for us and also, a very exciting time of the year.

Orders have already began to pour in and deliveries are being scheduled. A lot of our corporate clients like to add their company's promotional materials to the gift baskets to make them stand out. Company mugs, pens, calenders and special labels are just a few things that are added.

The poor economy has certainly has its effect on us as with all businesses but, this years orders are fully expected to surpass last years. The only issues we will (and already have) encountered is the lack of inventory from our suppliers. Stock will be very low on their end and once a product is gone - its gone.

Visit our website for our selection of Christmas and Hanukkah Gift Baskets and order early to avoid disappointment. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Rosh Hashanah - Jewish New Year

2009-09-09T20:05:00.005-04:00

Happy Kosher New Year or Rosh Hashanah!

The Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah literally means the “head of the Year”, or the New Year. It is a deeply religious occasion symbolising the Day of Judgment, the Day of Remembrance, and the Day of Shofar Blowing. (a Ram's Horn)

On Rosh Hashanah, it is customary for families to gather together for the holiday meal. Traditional sweet foods, round challah, honey and apples are served, symbolizing sweetness, blessings, abundance and the hope for a sweet year ahead.Other customs are the sounding of the Shofar (a Ram’s horn blown somewhat like a trumpet), candle lighting, special prayers, reciting the Kiddush and the blessing of the Challah.

As always, Gifts for Every Reason has a variety of traditional Kosher Rosh Hashana gifts to send to loved ones. (Click here to view). All items used are clearly labeled with Kosher symbols. Customization is available and quantities are limited. Order early for best selection.

Gourmet Smoked Salmon now used in Outer Space?

2009-06-17T20:16:00.008-04:00

Who would have figured that one of the products we use (and love) has actually been choosen by NASA to be on the menu for the Endeavour Astronauts. Seachange Savouries - Smoked Salmon Pate - An award winning Canadian product proudly made in BC.

Just how does NASA choose the foods that will accompany the Astronauts into outerspace? According to the Tom Hawthorn of The Globe and Mail:

"Seachange Savouries fish has been poked and prodded – not to mention analyzed, sampled and tested – by a bevy of finicky dietitians and food scientists at the Space Food Systems Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Agriculture Canada and the Canadian Space Agency also conducted four sessions in which foods were evaluated for taste, colour, texture and appearance.

Most importantly, the smoky treats had to pass a tasting panel of the most discriminating palates – the astronauts who will spend weeks in orbit without thebenefit of ordering take-out on a whim.

Not so long ago, astronauts endured meals in which appetizers were reduced to bite-sized cubes, and entrees were consumed by squeezing a semi-liquid from an aluminum tube. This was washed down by a glass of powdery Tang. Yum. By comparison, today's foodstuffs are an epicure's delight."

Congratulations to Seachange Savouries. Gifts for EveryReason, is proud to continue it's support for their company valuesand Award Winning (and Tasty) products.

Online Shopping Tips - How Safe is it?

2009-06-09T09:39:00.005-04:00

The number one reason shoppers do not make purchases online is because they have concerns about credit card security. The news media sometimes have stories of commercial websites being infiltrated by computer hackers, or credit card numbers being stolen online. However, these days, it is more common that thieves will get hold of your credit card information in a restaurant or gas station.

When shopping online, there are several things you can do to help ensure a safe shopping experience.

1. When using a credit card online, make sure you are on a "secure" site before you give your name, address or credit card details. Look for a padlock or a key symbol, which are usually in the bottom corner of your screen or for a policy that indicates use of strong security technology such as SSL. On a secure site, your information is scrambled into code, (encrypted) before being sent over the Internet, and stored on a secure database.

2. Even better is to look to see if the company you are purchasing from uses an online credit card processing company. Sensitive information is sent directly to their highly secure site where address verification and Visa/ Master Card security codes are used to catch fraudulent cards. (InternetSecure is one example of a secure credit card hosting company. They are one of the largest and most reliable payment processing networks in North America processing over a billion transactions annually.)

3. Avoiding sending your credit card details in an email, this is not a secure means of transmitting information and can be copied easily to others.

4. Check website privacy policies, returns and guarantees. If in doubt, call or email the company you want to purchase from. A reputable company will be more then willing to help answer any questions you may have.

5. Be sure to keep a paper trail. Print out the seller’s contact information, a copy of your receipt, a page describing the item you ordered, and the email confirming the order.

6. And finally, if you are ever in doubt about whether you should give out your credit card information, CALL the Customer Service number found on the back of your Visa, Master Card or American Express, and ask THEM if the company you are dealing with is a "SAFE AND SECURE" company to give personal information to.

Gifts for Every Reason is one of those companies!
Have a safe and enjoyable shopping experience.

Traditions of Sitting Shiva - Shiva Gifts & Gift Baskets

2009-05-27T10:54:00.006-04:00

In the Jewish mourning tradition, mourners of the deceased will usually sit shiva. As someone close to the mouner or to the deceased, it is appropriate that you pay a shiva call.

A shiva call takes place usually in the mourner's home. Often before entering the shiva house, there will be some water and hand towels which you can use to purify your hands. Especially on the first day if coming from the cemetary, washing your hands is appropriate. When entering the house, you may notice a tall candle burning. Since shiva takes place for 7 days, these candles are designed to burn for 7 days and are often provided by the funeral home.

The mourners typically have the mirrors covered, may not wear make up or shave. It's also common for those in mourning during the shiva period to sit lower than everyone else. This is a sign of humility and being brought closer to the earth.

As is typical for Jewish get-togethers, there is often quite a bit of food and drinks available. It is common for the friends and Jewish community to provide enough food for the mourners because they aren't epected to entertain guests or even to do their own cooking during the shiva period.

You should feel comfortable to bring some food to leave at the shiva house. This is always appreciated and is better than bringing flowers or other types of gifts and yes, you should bring kosher food.

It's common that the mourners may not greet their guests and this is not considered rude. You're free to come into the shiva house, walk around and talk with whomever you wish. It's appropriate to greet the mourner with "I'm sorry for your loss" or "If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know". This is better than "How are you" as clearly they are not well emotionally.

The period of shiva is dedicated to grieving and so if the mood in the house is solemn. It is very appropriate to tell a story about the deceased or to share some memories. Sometimes there will be a photo album on the table and it's appropriate to look through it with or without the mourner with you.

If you're not comfortable bringing food, another great gift is to make a donation to a charity that the deceased supported. For example, if they were close emotionally with Israel, you can plant a tree in Israel. If they were supporters of education, you can make a charitable contribution for that. Often at the funeral they will announce a charity that has been selected by the family.

Although the best way to show your support to the family in mourning is in person, it is also appropriate to send a card or a Kosher Shiva Gift Basket if you cannot make a shiva call if you are out of town or for other reasons.

The Best place to find authentic Kosher Shiva Gift Baskets to send anywhere in Canada is, Gifts for Every Reason. Free Delivery anywhere in ONTARIO AND QUEBEC ! All Kosher Baskets are clearly labelled with Kosher symbols to easily identify items.

Happy New Year 2009 !

2009-01-19T15:31:00.004-05:00

Considering the turmoil with the Canadian Economy, we thought we would take a big hit to our Christmas sales in December 2008. Shockingly, it was our busiest year to date and it was all we could do to keep up with the orders.

Surprisingly, this year we sold out of all our largest Gift Baskets first. Even our $500 size went.

Our Valentines Day gift Baskets are already online and selling fast. Look for new Purim, Passover and Easter gifts to be online in shortly.

We’ve also listened to our customers and will be bringing in some tasty new products to add to our line of gourmet upscale foods. We've expanded our Healthy section to include not only Diabetic and sugar free gifts, but healthy Loose leaf Tea baskets and new, All Natural baskets filled with products containing no artificial colour or preservatives

Our commitment to service, quality and award winning designing are some the things that make us stand out from our competition. Remember when ordering online, to make sure you see a physical address and that it states they assemble their baskets in house. Otherwise, you could be slapped with hundreds of dollars in duty/ Brokerage fees (if the company is in the USA) or a premade basket assembled months before containing expired unedible items.

Gifts for Every Reason, wishes everyone a healthy and prosperous upcoming 2009 Year.

Safe Online Shopping Tips

2008-11-12T09:33:00.011-05:00

If you don't know an online retailer by its brand or reputation, these tips can help you determine whether they're operating a secure and trustworthy Web site before you enter your credit card number or personal information.

1. Look for a physical address (not a Post Office box), or call and talk to a company representative. If you don't see an address - avoid the website altogether.

2. Explore the Web site for third-party seals of approval such as:
BBB - Better Business Bureau, InternetSecure or Other secure site logos. If you do see a logo, click them to make sure they link to the organization that created them. Some unscrupulous merchants will put these logos on their sites without permission, and they're less likely to get caught if they don't link back to the site.

3. Review their shipping methods and policies to determine what carriers they use and their shipping rates.

4. Most importantly, find out WHERE they ship from—goods are sometimes sent from international locations, which require customs and extra time and money. Look for a PHYSICAL ADDRESS or at least a city and province.

5. According to the Experts, Credit Cards ARE the safest method for online purchases. The last thing you want to use is a debit card. Most credit cards have protection on them. If someone rips you off, you can dispute the charge. Debit cards pull money right from your bank account. It can take months to get your money back, if you ever see it again. The beauty of using a credit card is that it's not just your money on the line; it's the creditor's money, too. If you have a problem with your transaction the credit card company will go to bat for you to resolve it.

6. The Web site should use secure technology. When you get to the screen where you enter your credit card number or other personal information, make sure that the Web address begins with https – plural - (for example, https://www.giftsforeveryreason.com/) and check to see if a tiny locked padlock appears at the bottom right of the screen.

7. Keep your receipt handy. It is proof that the item was purchased. It also contains information as to how to contact the seller and a sales or receipt number to refer to when calling with inquiries.

Knock off Baskets or Unique Hand made -Which one's for you?

2008-11-07T06:18:00.004-05:00

Don't be fooled by companies selling pre-made gift baskets trying to sell them off as their own unique baskets.

Pre-made baskets are mass produced in large warehouse facilities. Little care is taken when assembling the baskets to ensure product is fresh and in good condition. Stores purchasing these pre-made baskets, have no way of controlling how clean the factory was, or how hygienic the factory employees are.

Gifts for Every Reason, designs and assembles ALL their gift baskets in their Whitby Location. We train our employees to treat each basket with care, as if it was an extension of themselves, and monitor them closely. We ensure everything is fresh, use hand tied bows and beautifully wrap with care. We offer award winning designs and products and can customize any gift to suit your taste and budget.

When you need to send something special, don't leave it to a pre-made knock off. Send only the best. Send a basket from Gifts for Every Reason.

Visit our website and online store. Shipping across Canada. Order early while quantities last.

Christmas and Hanukkah 2008

2008-10-18T15:24:00.015-04:00

Well another month of long hours and work weekends has passed and we've managed to design beautiful holiday gift baskets.

We've taste tasted the products and weeded out those that were not up to our standards. We've ensured that each of the products is well worth the money in both quantity and brand. We've tried to design around themes and ensured that our designs are unique and affordable.

All that's left to do, is to fill the orders that have already started rolling in. We've hired additional staff and hopefully we have enough product to get us through this Holiday Season. Even with the current economy troubles, we have not slowed down. In fact, we've tripled in size from last year. Mind boggling as it is, we can only pull up our boot straps and gear down for our busiest season yet!

Order your Christmas and Hanukkah baskets now to ensure your favorite designs are available. We'll ship on your specified date. Custom designs available till December 1st.

When it's more then the thought that counts...

2008-07-17T18:29:00.013-04:00

Recently, we had a request for a very special gift basket that really touched our hearts.

Two teens phoned us with a request for a custom Get Well basket for a fellow classmate of theirs, who had undergone a liver transplant.

In a joint effort, they managed to raise money through their school, to be able to afford to send their friend something special that would occupy her time while recuperating in the months ahead. Special DVD's, books, magazines, games, puzzles, I-tunes gift cards and a cuddly bear was their request.

We were honoured to be able to full fill their dream and make this young girl feel loved by her fellow classmates and school.

Thankfully, Gifts for Every Reason, creates ALL their Canadian Gift Baskets in house. This allows us the opportunity to customize each gift to suit the customers tastes, themes, price and even add specialty items.

(Some Gift Baskets companies only 'drop ship' their baskets. This means they show other companies baskets, charge a higher price, and the gift comes from the other company. Altering a basket in any way is NOT possible and often they don't even know what is being shipped.)

Know the company you are buying from. Trust their Service.

Gifts for Every Reason - Service you CAN Trust!

Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the most popular Jewish holidays. It is a special time for family gatherings and meals called Seders where the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah.

For loved ones that can not see family during this time, sending baskets filled with authentic, Kosher for Passover food, has become a popular choice.

By request, Gifts for Every Reason, has introduced traditional Passover Gift Baskets. All products are clearly labelled with Kosher for Passover symbols, and the baskets are created with Passover traditions in mind.

Our kosher gift baskets are unique, affordable and we offer local Hand delivery to Toronto and of course, shipping ALL across CANADA.

From Rags to Riches

Well, we've certainly come a long way since we first envisioned our Gift Basket Company. It started with the idea that Gift Baskets should be inexpensive and affordable. Something that everyone could afford and would be less expensive then buying flowers.

We came to discover that affordable baskets are a dime a dozen. Need something inexpensive, people go to Wal-mart. Through listening to our customers, it quickly evolved into a high quality, gift giving center. Name brand products, high quality and exceptional service. Gift baskets that are not just affordable but, gifts that people are proud to give.

We constantly shop for unique gifts and work hard to make our baskets stand out from the competition. Why would anyone buy a gift that they see on everyone else's website or store? Wouldn't you rather have something unique? A gift that can be customized? A gift that portray your emotions?

Gifts for Every Reason, sells not just Gift Baskets but, an entire service. Hassle free on-line shopping, dependable service and of course, beautiful baskets.
