Gift Baskets for Customers

[MAKmom]

I'm looking for something to send our customers. They have about 15 people at each location. I do not want a Harry & David basket I need something for everyone to share. We will spend up to $200.00 each

You might want to check with a local florist/basket company. They can often make something special and it employs a local business.

Costco has some PHENOMENAL baskets for good prices, $200 would get you a rrrrrrreally nice one. I don't know if delivery can be arranged through Costco.com or if you'd have to handle delivery yourself though...

agnes!

We have a lot of vendors send us baskets every year. The fruit ones usually don't get consumed before the fruit goes bad.

The ones we like the best are the ones with a variety of snack foods- flavored popcorn/nuts/crackers etc. We get a lot of cookies/chocoloates so this is a little something different.

What about something from this company?? http://www.cholives.com/ http://www.cholives.com/shop.shtml

We received a box of truffles (chruffles) from DH's company as a thank you and they were DELICIOUS!! We got the box of wine pairings (with 20 in the box of assorted flavors). They all had a different type of center with liquor, as well as different flavors of chocolate.

But if you are set on sending a gift basket, I would go with a local company.

How about some baskets from Mrs. Prindables. MMMMM You can find them on QVC. They are known for the caramel/chocolate covered apples, pretzels, popcorn, etc. I've had them before and they are super yummy!!!

How about doing 2 different baskets for each location. www.ediblearrangements.com makes the most delicious fruit arrangements. And they will dip the fruit is chocolate!!!! The other basket could contain things like nuts, candies, crackers, coffees, etc.

Boy, now I am hungry!!!!

I just ordered from Hub's Peanuts in Sedley, Virginia. Almost everyone likes peanuts (except the ones who are allergic!) and they have gift sets to choose from. I love them - they are a taste of childhood because all of my Virginia relatives were peanut farmers!

I ordered some tins of roasted salted peanuts to give as gifts and some bags of raw peanuts to roast myself - it's one of my favorite winter snacks!!!

How about chocolate lovers baskets? They are really easy to make and there are so many options for things to include. Right now, Lindt has really cute holiday chocolate selections available. You could do it yourself. Michaels has their holiday baskets at 40 percent off. Pick up some baskets. Plan on using about four of the Lindt bags and a couple of the santas per basket. Fill the bottom of the basket with some floral foam. It takes up space so you items will stick out the top and look nice. You can secure them with packing tape. I always used plant stakes that I'd tape to the back of the items so that I could arrange them at attractive angles. Stick the stakes into the floral foam to make them stand up nicely. Fill in any gaps with festive shred and add a nice bow. That's all it takes! You could put one together in a half hour easy.

Thanks everyone!

I have been doing them in the past with things from Trader Joes but this year I just do not have time.

If you're not opposed to going online, www.winecountrygiftbaskets.com has a good selection of baskets (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

I see you're in PA so I don't know if you have anything like this, but here in Ohio we've received really nice gift baskets with all Ohio products. Candy, pretzels, mustards, beef jerkey, jam, you name it. There are only 4 of us in the office so we share some things, the rest we divvy up to take home. I love this time of year when the treats start showing up!

Cheryl & Co. does some awesome cookie boxes/baskets too!
