What an oversight!


Mother's Day in 2013, I forgot, so I will make up for it.  I called a regional Denver basket company Baskets by Rita 303-344-4838 and purchased a customized made huge basket to make up for my mistake in 2012. I provided her a cost point and informed her exactly what my mother likes and she's taking care of it. I had actually taken a look at their website basketsbyrita.com and discovered mommies day gift baskets however had her include some things I. Saw from other baskets on the site

I forgot and need to really make up for it this year, so I've currently placed an order to be provided a complete week prior to Mothers Day. Mine will be the first present she gets. She will be surprised because I normally show up with a card I've discovered at the last minute from exactly what's leftover at e shop and flowers or a plant ... typically normal and lame choosing from exactly what's left.

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.
