Fathers Come in Unique Packages

May 26, 2021 by Lisa Paden

The sweet and silent. The gritty and tough. The reserved and focused—the wild kid at heart. Fathers come in numerous unique lovable packages, and it’s time to celebrate them. 

There’s a quote I love that says: “Father” is the noblest title a man can be given. It is more than a biological role; it signifies a patriarch, a leader, an example, a teacher, a friend, and a hero. – Robert Backman 

Father’s Day reminds us of the importance of the father’s role and the challenges of fatherhood. Dads don’t always enjoy the admiration, shine, and appreciation we tend to give to the mothers. But they definitely should because, just like with mom, there would be no us without them. Because of that, here’s to you, dad! 

For the man who gave you countless piggyback rides, made the best forts, killed all the bugs, drove hundreds of miles on the family vacations, and is still your number one cheerleader, make his Father’s Day special. After all, this is the one day of the year that is all about him, in all of his hedge-trimming, penny-pinching, dad-joking glory.

This Father’s Day, surprise your dad, granddad, husband, or any important, influential man in your life with a gift as unique and tailor-made as he is. Gift your special guy a custom curated gift basket highlighting his favorites snacks, leisure, hobbies, and sports team.

Are you having trouble knowing what to get him this year? The Personal Gift Basket Company can help put a big smile on his face with a memorable gift that lightens his week and warms his heart. Here’s how we can help…

Tell us all about the special guy you’re buying for by completing our easy contact us form. Share all the things that will help us create the perfect gift for him. Things like his favorite color, scent, and favorite snacks help us make a more personalized gift that he will love. Another option is shopping our online store. Choose from a variety of gifts like the “For Him,” “Beer-cuterie basket,” the “The Connoisseur,” or our “Rough’n It” basket. We have gifts that fit your price point, hobby, and preference. The site is easy to use, and within a few clicks, you’re done.

No matter what you select, you can be sure we will place your personal touch on it, showing the gift is uniquely for him and distinctly from you. And if you are in the St. Louis and St. Charles areas, we offer our hand-deliver service to his home, office, or even the golf course!  

Take this Father’s Day and express your love, adoration, and gratitude to the amazing men in your life. And if you’re reading this and you are a father or father figure, know you’re valued and appreciated. We wish you the very best and happiest Father’s Day this year!

Tax season is here!

April 27, 2021 by Lisa Paden

Even though we all know it’s coming, it still seems to sneak upon us. Buried under the books and stacks of receipts and documents is where you’ll find your accountant. And, though the tax deadlines have been extended (wahoo!), so has our accountant’s time. Every year they are taxed (excuse the pun) to the max, but especially this year. With all the changes and updates of 2020, they have stayed on their toes to help our families and businesses. My hat goes off to those brave souls who tackle their own taxes, but tax professionals are a great necessity for the rest of us, especially business owners. 


Some people are more challenging than others to buy gifts for. Accountants can fall into the challenging category, maybe because they are naturally very particular and precise people. They also have an excellent eye for details and a significant distaste for anything wasteful or inefficient. Let’s show them our appreciation in return. Surprise your accounting firm with a Tax Season Survival Care Package, full of the necessities to help them endure the hustle and bustle of tax season, and make tax time just a little sweeter. Or maybe you are an accountant yourself and would like to say thank you to your clients for all the work they have given you. Either way, we have the perfect gift. 

The Personal Gift Basket Company can’t help you with your accounting needs, but we can help you with all your gifting needs. We are committed to creating and delivering artisan, high-quality gift baskets, gift boxes, and care packages to the people who matter to you. We can hand-deliver or ship your surprise and put a smile on their face and give them a reason to step away from the desk for just a moment. Tax season is the perfect time for a not-so-random act of kindness.

National Caramel and Chili Month

October 16, 2020 by Lisa Paden

It is National Chili and Caramel Month. Chili and caramel, you would typically not think of them together. You can enjoy a bowl of chili for dinner, followed by a delicious bowl of your favorite ice cream with a drizzle of warm caramel. A great gift idea to celebrate National Chili Month could consist of beautiful chili bowls and spoons, crackers, napkins, and fresh cheese. Another nice touch is to add your favorite chili recipe to share. For Caramel Month, ice cream bowls are always a big hit; add in an ice cream scoop, fun sprinkles, and a delicious jar of caramel sauce in a reusable jar. And again, you can always add in your favorite caramel recipe. Either of these would be fun to give to your family or friends. 

Lisa’s White Chicken Chili Recipe

I love comfort foods at any time of the year, but those meals become even more special in fall. I love to entertain and cook for family and friends, and one of my favorites to prepare is white chicken chili. Below is my recipe for you to make for your family and friends this fall. 

You Will Need:

2 tsp olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves chopped (or 2 tbsp minced)
2 – 4oz cans chopped mild green chilies
2.5 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp cayenne pepper
5 – 16oz cans great northern beans (3 cans with juice and 2 cans drained)
6 cups chicken stock
4 cups cooked chicken (any parts you like)
3 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
2 cups sour cream (optional for serving)

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large pot
  2. Add onions and saute until translucent.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, chilies, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper and saute for approximant 2 minutes or so
  4. Add beans and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat, add chicken and cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
  6. Season with any spices you like (if you want to know…I use Jamison Chicken Base, pepper, and a little Slap Yo Mamma)
  7. Add Monterey jack cheese and a healthy dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

Easy Caramel Sauce Recipe

I’m a firm believer that caramel makes everything taste delicious —apples, cake, ice cream, cookies, the list goes on. And you may not know, but it’s relatively simple to make. Here is a recipe for you to try yourself.

You Will Need

1 packed cup brown sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets thicker.
  3. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further.
  4. Turn off the heat, cool slightly and pour the sauce into a jar.
  5. Refrigerate until cold.

College Care Packages

August 31, 2017 by Lisa Paden

It is that time of year again. That’s right. It is the back-to-school season! As your loved ones are heading off into their new adventures, they will be met by friends, teachers, and lots of homework. They might be leaving home to start their own college adventure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t send a reminder of home to them. College Care Packages are everything a student dreams about as they check their mailbox each day.

College Care Packages can be customized to fit exactly what your student loves. Everyone knows that college students love snacks, so perhaps a food package with a few delicious treats will fit the bill! Worried about them eating healthy? Worry no more as healthy snack options are available and delicious! Their friends will beg them to share what you gave, and it will remind them of the loved ones they left at home.

Your Coffee Drinker

Coffee is a college students best friends. From early morning lectures to late night exam preparations, coffee can be found in the hands of many students. Coffee lovers will rejoice when they receive a care package filled with coffee gifts. This will make them the envy of their dorm and save them money from having to buy it on campus. [Read more…]
