Monday was a Bank Holiday in Ireland and with our Irish Division closed we used it as a chance for some staff training in our Co. Down office. This meant a shorter week for dispatches, but still plenty to highlight. You see with BasketsGalore you don't just get a bog standard gift basket, but creative gift baskets. You get fun and imaginative gift ideas for a wide range of occasions. Just by quickly skimming this article you can see the colour and creativity from this weeks orders alone.This Hug You Better Gift Basket certainly put a smile on our faces as how could you not love cute little Raisin Bear. Combined with fresh fruit, biscuits, some fruit crisps and a get well soon balloon the message is pretty obvious. Ordered by a Company in Stamford for one of their colleagues currently off ill. They hoped it would help her on the road to recovery.On Hump Day we can all do with an energy boost and that's exactly what this fresh fruit gift basket aims to do, Keeping It Real - Energy Gift Basket. This one was ordered by a lady in Georgia, USA for her family in London. She thought it would help to keep everyone going and provide some comfort at a difficult time, so we think perhaps it was a sympathy or thinking of you gift.It's hard to resist our cute baby gift baskets at the best of times, never mind when there is a cuddly friend poking out to attract our attention. Our Little Prince Gift Basket is a popular choice due to the price point and the fab contents of organic baby clothes, handmade leather shoes, Lamaze educational toy and soft blankie comforter.By Friday we may be feeling tired and on the wind down to the weekend, and so perhaps that's why I was drawn to our Ultimate Indulgence Pamper Package. You really couldn't want or need anything more to help you relax and chill out with a wide range of pampering products as well as magazines, colouring books and candles. The lucky recipient of this gift was receiving it for her 23rd birthday from her boyfriend, lucky duck.Although we have a wide range of gift basket types for all sorts of occasions, if you can't find the perfect one then we can also help with that too. You can either visit our "Create Your Own" Gift Basket site and pick all the individual items yourself, or you can contact us to make changes to an existing one that you would like to tailor slightly. We can also take special requests for specific brands etc throughout most of the year. It is just in December we cannot offer this personalised shopping service as we just have too many orders to process and dispatch in a short period of time.Speaking of Christmas Hampers, our 2019 range are currently been uploaded to the website and will be available to pre-order very soon. In this range you will also find many creative gift baskets, along with more traditional Christmas Hampers. Keep your eyes peeled for the big Christmas launch.
