This weekend saw the return of the X Factor and I laughed when I saw on Social Media that this meant it was nearly Christmas! Someone also posted that the big tins of sweets/chocolates were also in the supermarkets already. The next thing mince pies will be appearing!Is there a particular event that makes you think the countdown to Christmas is on? Maybe now the nights have started to get darker earlier? I looked it up and there are 115 days left, less than 4 months.At BasketsGalore we always have Christmas on the brain, as it is such a busy period for us. We have to process and dispatch a huge amount of orders with a short space of time and so a LOT of planning is involved.Hence why we are in working today's Bank Holiday. Some of the team have booked the day off, but rather than close completely some of us have come in to do photography and merchandising while we aren't dispatching orders & answering phones.The first new range of hampers, our Great Taste Award range are starting to be added to the website so here is a sneak peak. This range are available all year round, not just for Christmas.Check back soon for our new 2015 Christmas Hamper Range if you can bare to think about it yet!
