Gourmet Holiday gift Baskets

What's all the hipe about anyway. Just go to the store and buy a gift and get it over with. Who cares if it is good or not and well if they don't like it that's too bad it's the thought that counts.

That is all true to a point. Wouldn't it be better if you gave a gift that you were sure would be appreciated and enjoyed. Our corporate clients and employees deserve the best we can afford.

Halloween Gift Basket

I was thinking today about how much I always looked forward to Halloween when I was a kid. All the excitement of deciding on what costume to wear and also dreaming about all the candy I might get trick or treating. Oh what fun! I also remember winning the costume contest at school one year too.
I think Halloween is a great time to send a little something to college student, grand kids, or your corporate clients. Our halloween gift basket is just the thing complete with Monster drink, candy bars, popcorn, candy corn and more. You give your customer the treat and perhaps you will trick them into doing business with you again. College students can be tricked into getting good grades and your grandkids will call and say thank you.

Corporate Christmas Gift Basket

Corporate businesses are always thinking of ways to stay in front of their customers and in front of the competition. It is all about relationship and who knows how and who likes who. I guess the other important thing is who provides the best customer service and products. It is like a race to the finish line. The finish line is either retirement or being number one.

This time of year I am thinking about show appreciation for my best customers and my long term loyal customers. I like sending something in December and one of my favorites is the Corporate Christmas Gift Basket. It is perfect for the office since everything inside is easy eat no preparation and best of all the products taste great without too much packaging.

Give it a try you will find that your customers will call and tell you thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Corporate Halloween gifts

I think a bit part of being a kid was dressing up for Halloween. I remember the excitement and fun we had.

I worked for a big corporation that allowed staff to dress up on Halloween and it was great fun. I always thought it was great to have a costume that allowed you to be anonymous.

Well in our current state of affairs everyone needs a bit of levity to help keep us balanced. That is exactly why we created our Corporate Halloween gift basket. This basket will bring a smile and a bit of sweet joy to all your corporate connections. Send one to your admin staff and then to your top clients to say here's a treat for Halloween.

Green Eco gifts for Christmas

I can sure tell that the seasons are changing especially in the morning when it is still dark even after the alarm rings. This makes it very difficult to convince myself it's time to get up. It's been the Winter holiday season here at Baskets by Rita for several months now. Seems like we spend over half the year getting ready and doing Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and of course New Years.

I have found that planning for these holidays forces me to stay connected with food and gift trends. Each year there are products that hit the market hard and you see them everywhere. If I miss that then my customers think that Baskets by Rita is just not with it.

This year we are ahead of the game. Early in the year we decided to offer an eco-friendly gift bag that our customers could choose instead of one of our baskets. Well right now it is our best seller for the year. It truly send the message that you are committed to helping save the environment.

So, for the holidays we are offering two of our holiday features our Colorado Christmas Gift Basket and our Holiday Gourmet Gift Basket in Green Eco Friendly bags. Our Holiday Eco Gifts have already started to sell and I know that we will sell out before the holidays are over.

If you are looking for something unique and trendy this holiday season consider one of our eco bags.

Fall gift basket idea

Fall is a wonderful time of the year to design a new gift basket. Since it's harvest time for apples we have decided to feature many variations of apples. Our container for this basket is an old fashion bushel basket. We filled it with caramel apple popcorn, sunflower seeds with dried apples and caramel bit in a snack mix assortment, cranberry cheddar cheese and apple cider just to name a few of the great tasting goodies. The naming of these seasonal offering is always fun so we came up with our Fall Harvest Gift Basket and our Autumn Gourmet Gift Basket.

So you ask yourself why would I send fall gift basket and to whom would I send it. I would suggest send one of these basket for a birthday, anniversary, corporate thank you gift or even as a condolence gift.

Our goal is to have a new basket on our web site at least ever other week. Some stay on for a long time and some just come and go.

Reducing our carbon footprint

I was listening to NPR on the way to work today. They were talking about how bicycle messenger are struggling to stay in business since many companies were accepting form via the internet. Now that is a scary thought? The piece went on to tell about a messenger company that has started using a large heavy duty bike to deliver groceries to customers. Here at Baskets by Rita we have been delivering baskets by bike for a few years now. I must stress that not all of the time but when we can we do. This is one of the many ways that we are striving to lower or carbon footprint here. Our eco-friendly gift bags are really taking off. Our clients are ordering them to go to hotel guests, as a birthday gift with beer or even a welcome gift to a new employee.

At Baskets by Rita, we’ve made a commitment to be as green as we can. Our effort can only work if our customers are committed as well.

When considering your next gift remember to think green. Your recepient will love you for it.
