The Basket Whisperer

Did you know that I'm not just a gift basket designer? Part of my job is listening to customers. 

When I pick up the phone and a customer wants to order a gift, in most cases, they also have a need to explain why the gift is needed. What their friend/loved one is going through whether it is an illness, a grieving or a happy occasion. Sometimes they cry on the phone. But in all cases I listen. I hear their stories and my customers end the conversation feeling a sense of relief. 

They call me "The Basket Whisperer".

Taking Care of Out-of-Town Clients

Taking Care of Out-of-Town Clients

Taking care of your out-of-town clients when they visit is important for building and maintaining your business relationship. Your client will return home feeling special and will have good things to say about you and your company.

Compile a welcome basket

Your client has just spent hours travelling by plane, car or train.  They are most likely tired, hungry, and maybe not in very good spirits. Make your visiting clients feel special by arranging a welcome basket for their arrival. It can be either sent to their hotel room, or have it waiting for them at the office. Include some welcome treats that they can snack on while they settle in.  Popchips, chocolates, nuts, dried fruits, cookies.  Maybe add some bottled water.  Have the gift match the theme of the visit, a convention, or use your company colours.

Let Gifts for Every Reason, help you plan your next gift for out of town guests make their stay a little more memorable. 

Stand Out From Your Competition

Everyone wants to stand out from the competition and it's not always an easy thing to do.

One thing that we've noticed helps is how you present yourself and your product. We're talking about something to make people STOP and look at YOUR product instead of the one next to it. 

A great way to show off your product is assembling them in a show stopping Gift Basket.  Think this is just a load of cow pies?  See some before and after pictures of items we've done for Trade Shows, Donations and prizes and see which photo makes you STOP and take a second look.

Flowers or Gift Baskets for Jewish Mourning

Flowers or Gift Baskets for Sitting Shiva

Many of you are wondering how to express condolence to a Jewish friend or client and what types of sympathy gifts or items are appropriate to send.
Your first thought would be to send a floral arrangement, however, flowers are typically not a part of the Jewish mourning tradition and should not be sent when someone has passed.

Food and Condolence Baskets

During the shiva, mourners are required to abstain from participating in some of the most basic functions of everyday life, including cooking and preparing meals.
For this reason, sending a Shiva Gift Basket is a customary condolence gift. Shiva Gift Baskets contain a variety of food items that is sent to the home and are intended to provide nourishment for those in mourning throughout the weeklong duration of the Shiva. Appropriate food items found within a Shiva basket include baked goods and desserts, fruit, dried fruit & nuts, and assorted chocolates.

When to Send a Shiva Basket

Shiva begins immediately after burial, with the day of the funeral counted as the first day of a Shiva. Families are grateful to receive food and condolence items at any point during the seven-day mourning period. Shiva baskets are sent to the home where the family is sitting Shiva.

Let us help you send an authentic Kosher Shiva Basket with Free Delivery across Canada.
