I love “The Beach Retreat” because is simple but just has the right look to create a mood. Often, if a corporation likes my designs, they use my company for other events and occasions throughout the year such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirement, welcome to the company and virtual meetings. Basket-Mania is our go-to gifting company!”įWM: What do you enjoy most about corporate gifting?Ĭorporate gifting gives me a chance to build relationships. They kept up to date with the progress of the order as well as sending us photos so we could see what was being created. From our initial meeting to the day of delivery we had no stress at all. “We were overwhelmed with the idea of sending out 100 gift baskets to referring doctors. I really feel in business gifting people are going out of their way to show appreciation and to say thank you! Companies and medical practices seem to be sending more gifts now. I feel since the pandemic began gifting for the holidays has grown bigger. I never know kind of gifting will be requested. I love the gifts that corporations send their employees to reward a job well done.Ĭorporate gifting never ceases to amaze and uplift me. That has been an issue since the pandemic began. This year I am looking forward to more places accepting deliveries. What are you looking forward to this holiday? I always do a flat lay first to see if I like the way everything looks together and then go from there.įWM: Corporations have worked with you over the years. They all have to coordinate and look good together. With The Blue Moon Holiday and Pinot Noir Holiday once I know what products I am using, color scheme is next on my list. I have to decide which product is the focal point. The way I make them eye catching is with the placement of the products. They only want the chosen products showcased and nothing else. I have been working with a medical practice the last few holiday seasons. Some people and companies want their gifts to have just their chosen products and no sign of the holidays and others want their gifts totally “decked out.” There is no right or wrong.It is individual tastes that dictate creations. Holiday gift baskets run the whole spectrum from very basic to totally elaborate. On the whole, gift baskets are a joy to give and to receive.įWM: Share a few of your fun holiday gift baskets including the Blue Moon Holiday Basket, and Pinot Noir Holiday. You can order a creation online or have one custom made. If you are not sure exactly what the gift should look like, we will brainstorm with you until you are satified with the vision. Gift baskets are only limited by your imagination.

You have an idea and we will make it a reality. We are all busy, especially, around the holiday season. The day the creative juices stop flowing is the day to say, “I am finished creating.” I don’t see that happening any time soon because I get more energized and excited as time goes by with the possibilities!!!įWM: The holidays are around the corner. I also keep my eye out for new and interesting products that I can add to my repertoire. A high heel shoe was also recently made for a “Sex in the City Gift.” You have to stay current. I recently found the need to use a great big martini glass for a project. I always keep my eye out for unusual and eye-catching containers to use to make gifts. Uniqueness is very important in a business such as mine. When we say an order will be delivered by a certain date, it is there. Every customer gets personal attention from the beginning to the end. We want each customer no matter how small or big the order is to be perfectly happy so we will be their go-to company in the future. I am a perfectionist and would not send out anything that did not have my stamp of approval. I get such a “high” each time I finish a project and can honestly say this is the way it was supposed to look. I believe that gift baskets, favors and centerpieces are an artform and that you have to be an artist to transform an empty container into something amazing and unique.įirst off, you have to love what you do and I can truly say that I do. There are those times when somebody has a vision or part of an idea and it is your job to be a magician and create this eye-catching creation. Sometimes by seeing visuals a person sees exactly what they need want or need and it strikes a chord. Each event or occasion is so different and personal that it has to be made especially to fit the person the gift basket is going to or the event or the occasion. I truly believe that you cannot put people into neat little boxes. She shares with Formidable Woman fun gift baskets for the holidays.
