Easter Gifts Delivered To Their Door
Easter Gifts Delivered UK
After another sunny weekend, it really is beginning to feel like Spring is finally here. With that comes one of our favourite occasions, Easter. Easter is a time for family, fun and festivities and we've been excited to share our Easter Gift offering with you for a few weeks now.
Our Easter Gifts have always been popular with our international Customers. For example, Grandparents (or other family members) living abroad and wishing to send an Easter Gift to the Grandkids back in the UK. Rather than trying to post chocolate from overseas and risking it melting, as well as paying high postage fees, our Customers can simply 'hop' online, order an Easter Gift Basket from us and we'll deliver it directly to their loved ones door. Easter Gift Delivery without the stress.
When Covid struck in March 2020, the UK had just gone into lockdown and we worried about the survival prospects of our family business. We furloughed the majority of our staff and we, the Directors, took over the daily operations. A couple of members of staff then took it in turns to help in the warehouse. We never could have anticipated the rise in demand for our Easter Gifts that April, both from individuals ordering for family members and from Corporate clients wanting to send their staff members working from home an Easter gift. We had to place top up orders from the likes Lindt for more Easter Eggs and chocolate bunnies so we could continue to fulfil orders. We were four times as busy, with only 1/4 of our staff working to keep everyone safe.
By Easter 2021, there were still restrictions in place and so our Easter Gift Baskets were in high demand yet again. This time however, we had been able to welcome more staff back, and so the range was also updated. We had some new products such as fresh scones being added to the mix and we were able to rephotograph and extend our offering with more grown up and family friendly Easter Gift Hampers.
Our Easter Gifts now come in 4 main ranges - Easter Gifts, Easter Gift Baskets, Easter Hampers and Children's Easter Gifts. You can read about the different styles in our other Easter Blogs and then choose your favourite type of Easter Gift depending on which range takes your fancy.
Easter Gift Delivery
Deliveries are operating smoothly in the courier network again, and we ourselves have been able to return to an estimated delivery day rather than a weekly delivery service. This means there are more dates to choose in the calendar and we will aim to deliver on or as close to this date as possible. Specific days are very much possible now, however we just point out these are not guaranteed dates as we still may have some staff illness and absences to contend with.
Easter this year falls on Sunday 17th April 2022, so there arejust under 2 weeks to go now. You will be able to pick Wednesday 13th or Thursday 14th April as your estimated delivery day, as the couriers in the UK do not deliver on Good Friday, 15th April. The good thing about Easter is that the children have 2 weeks off school and the holiday is celebrated over a number of days, and so a specific date for delivery isn't of such high importance. In fact there are lots of Easter Gifts shipping out already in the lead up, as people just want to enjoy them now.
Sending an Easter Gift Basket to friends, family or employees will definitely result in serious brownie points for you. They are not only full of all the best Easter chocolate around, but they also have a high presentational impact due to all the bright colours, contents and cute cuddly toys. You don't just need to take our word for it either, as we received lots of lovely reviews about last years Easter Gifts.
Easter Gifts Reviews
"My Grandkids in UK loved the Easter basket for two. It was filled with chocolate, gummies and all sorts of goodies. My daughter sent us a picture and it was beautiful."
"I'm in the US; my daughter and granddaughter live in London. I wanted to send my granddaughter an Easter Basket, and Baskets Galore was a great option. The basket was age-appropriate for a 2 year old, and delivered in a timely manner. Could not have been easier to order, and, best of all, my granddaughter loved it." Margaret H, Virginia, USA.
"We ordered the Easter basket for our daughter in the UK. The basket contents were as depicted and our daughter was impressed with the quality of the items. We were very happy with the service Chris and Tricia, New Zealand "
"I live in NZ and I sent this easter hamper to my daughter living in London....it was lovely being able to send a beautiful gift to her with so much ease - the biggest problem was trying to choose which one to choose...your range is amazing" Andrea H, Wellington, New Zealand.
"We ordered the Easter Girl Gift for our grandchildren in Scotland. The basket includes a soft toy and craft kits as well as sweets and chocolate eggs, plenty to share for the family. It was delivered very promptly, the company kept us up to date with the delivery. The family was delighted with the gift - they sent us a photo and it looks just right. We will probably use BasketsGalore again. It was easy and safe to set up from New Zealand."
