We Are Ready For The Holidays

Just a Preview of our 2018 Holiday Gift Baskets

Leave a comment

It’s Christmas Time again! …but for some reason, this year seems different…better…more festive.  I’ve been out driving around quite a bit, and I have never seen as many people putting up their Christmas lights this early. I love it!  Many of you don’t, but I do. To me, it tells me that this year will be special and I’m already enjoying the Holidays and my turkey isn’t even cold yet.  But, enough of that…let’s get to our 2018 Holiday gift baskets!

Enjoy this simple little preview video:

 

I don’t want to bog you down with all the particulars and details of each basket, as you can simply go to or website and see all the information there.  I will tell you that we came up with quite a few unique and interesting gift baskets this year. We had a lot of fun creating them, and still  have 2 more yet to add to the list.

I think my favorite is the Holiday Weekend Snack Tote! It’s such a cute holiday fabric tote…and I absolutely love the different variations that are available for this tote bag. You’ll see that you can choose between 4 different gift styles…and prices also…so much fun!

No matter who you need a gift for, I can guarantee that you will find a perfect holiday gift here, and the wonderful part is that you will be able to customize that gift to your budget as many of our gift baskets come in assorted sizes and prices. That is really unheard of in this industry because we are one of the last companies that actually make up the gift baskets when the order is placed…and not 2 months before…in another country.  We take tremendous pride in that and know that it is very important to make your gift baskets with the freshest products and to send them out right after wrapping when everything looks it best.

So…the Holidays are here!,,,and don’t fret about your holiday gift list because we can most certainly help you with that. Come visit our website at www.AnythingInABasket.com

See you soon!

Gifts For Mother's Day

Mother’s Day Isn’t Just About Flowers

Leave a comment

Mother’s Day comes once a year and while it only comes once a year, everything else comes every year too;  Birthdays, Anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, etc.  So…people tend to look to the obvious when thinking about what to give a woman for any of these occasions, and they usually reach for flowers. Don’t get me wrong, flowers are okay…sure, they’re pretty and sometimes smell nice, but they die…every time.  And, if your’re someone that gives vase arrangements, we women have to frequently change the water and re-cut the stems to keep them alive for as long as possible.  That’s a job. It’s messy and  time consuming. I’m not knocking flowers (well…maybe I am), but I think that it would be nice to give something different, something other than the ordinary flowers or a potted plant (please, no more potted plants…please).

So, in the spirit of giving something fun, unique, and something Mom would really enjoy, we’ve designed several Mother’s Day gift baskets.  It’s so easy…go to our website (www.AnythingInABasket.com) and look under Gift Baskets For Mother’s Day and see how easy it would be to send a gift that she would  truly love. Here is the link:   https://www.anythinginabasket.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=76

 

This is the Mother’s Day Afternoon Dessert.  A pretty floral mug, matching dessert plate and dessert tier with all sorts of sweets and flavored teas.  Mom would love this.

Similar, is the Mother’s Day Evening Tea & Snack.  A pretty floral tea pot, matching mug and dessert plate…along with little cakes, chocolates, cookies, and flavored teas. Makes you want tea and snacks right now, doesn’t it?

Next we created a beautiful goody basket in a very pretty tin.  Vintage Tin Confections is packed with all sweets and flavored coffee & teas  I actually want one of these for Mother’s Day.

And the last “official” Mother’s Day gift is the Keepsake Mother’s Day Goody Box.  It’s a canvas box with a matching lid, perfect for stashing…well… keepsakes.  It comes filled with all sorts of goodies that Mom will just love!

If you don’t think your Mom would like any of these baskets, there are so many gift baskets on our website that you could send her, and don’t forget that you could also Build Your Own Basket if you know exactly what she likes.

Go to our website to see all the fun details of these baskets; available sizes, contents, and pricing.

Wishing your Mom a Happy Mother’s Day!  …and you, an easy time picking out the perfect gift.

How To...

Gift Baskets made Easy-Vol 1

Video Leave a comment

 

 

Welcome To Our New “How To” Videos: Gift Baskets Made Easy!

We are putting together”How To Make Gift Baskets” videos…and loving it!  We have started with a Chocolate Lovers Gift Basket, just in time for Valentine’s Day.   This video gives you ideas and inspiration to make your own gift basket for Valentine’s Day.  But feel free to call us and let us make one for you.

It was a lot of fun making this first (of many) video.  We struggled a bit with getting our ideas across in a limited timed format.  People are busy…they don’t have time to watch lengthy videos, and we certainly understand that.  We wanted to make a video with the basics, but at the same time not bore you creative types with the minutia of little details that you already got a hang of.

If you want to make a gift basket yourself, we hope that this video helps you create something beautiful.  If you feel you may need help, give us a call and we can offer up advice or make the gift basket for you. We deliver and ship also.

We hope this video answered some questions, gave you inspiration and the confidence in attempting to create your own personalize gift basket.

 

Good Luck and Have Fun!~!

Getting Ready For The Holidays

New Baskets, New Gifts!

Tis the season…to be making Gift Baskets!

We are diligently working on new designs and new gift combos to offer for the holidays.  New gift baskets are being added weekly to our website and old favorites are being updated.

Every year, gourmet food companies come out with new snacks and treats, and refresh the packaging of popular goodies.  Throughout the years, we have stuck with many tried and true items because many customers request their favorites, but there are always new and exciting treats to try out.  Because of this, we are able to create new versions of our gift baskets, while keeping the popular combinations of sweet and savory goodies that make up our best sellers.

O Tannenbaum, Deck The Halls, & Winter Wonderland are examples of redesign:

Sometimes, favorite products become retired, but there is always a exciting product just waiting to take it’s place.  Our Home For The Holidays is a gift basket that is ever changing because it’s filled with seasonal & Christmas treats and those items continue to grow in number.  We are constantly on the lookout for new goodies to add to our designs.  But they also need to be affordable. Many times, we find products that are absolutely beautiful, but then the price isn’t compatible with gift basket designs.  Anyone can create a gift basket, but it takes talent and experience to create a gift basket with quality products that doesn’t cost an exorbitant price, and that also has a beautiful presentation.  Our customers have strict budgets, but they also need their gifts to be impressive, and that’s the service  we offer.

For example…this Peppermint Bark is absolutely delicious and comes in a really nice gift tin.  The price is very reasonable at $5.50, and it would be a wonderful addition to any gift basket, or an individual gift.

These Mokate Cookies are  very buttery and crispy.  They’re probably one of the best butter cookies we have tasted. They are made in Europe and are a very nice addition to our Goody Baskets. Whether for a family or office, they are a favorite of ours, and make up wonderfully in a gift basket.

Docetto Wafer Rolls are also very tasty. They have Chocolate, Vanilla, Tiramisu and Peppermint Chocolate.  They are great with Coffee, Tea & Cocoa.  These crispy filled wafer rolls are really good and very reasonably priced. We love these and they are popular with our customers.

Of course, there are too many items to show here, but…our customers have to choice to Build Your Own Basket Online, and there, can see the assortment of Confections, Snacks & Beverages we have to offer.

The nice thing about receiving a gift basket is that it is filled with items people generally don’t buy for themselves, so it really is a treat when someone receives one, and many times, discover a new favorite sweet treat.

Stay tuned for more exciting products to show up on our site, as we are receiving new products daily!

Thanks for visiting us!

New Commercial

Our new commercial is now airing on News 12 Long Island. It airs several times a day, so keep a look out for it.

We are featuring our new baskets for the fall season and touching on the Holiday baskets to come.

We had a sponsorship slot for the first half of the year, and while that was exciting to see, a commercial is definitely better.

If you see the commercial, please give us a call and let us know. Thanks!!
