Gifting is a form of communication. Whether personal or business, a gift can tell the recipient what you think of them, how important and appreciated he or she is or even your perception of them.

When you give a gift without putting time and effort into making the right selection for the person receiving the gift, it can give the impression of giving a thoughtless gift.

Personal Gifting:

The biggest mistake in gifting is giving the recipient something you like and not thinking about what they would like. Just because you feel someone should love chocolate-covered espresso beans because you do, or buying your friend (who you’ve only seen in a suit when he attended a funeral) a sports coat because you liked it, doesn’t mean they will.

If you go as far as thinking of someone to give a gift to, go a step further and consider them when you are purchasing the gift. And yes, you can put you own personal spin on the gift, however never forget the recipient entirely.

Happy New Year!

We hope you had a wonderful, relaxing and prosperous 2014 and your 2015 is off to an extraordinary start. We worked hard and accomplished a lot here at The Personal Gift Basket, creating, delivering and shipping our beautiful gifts all over the country. We also got a chance to spend some much needed quality time with our family and friends and personally enjoy the holidays.

Back to Business:

I’ve learned many things over the holidays, like not eating more than 10 gooey butter cookies at one sitting (but they’re so addicting). Seriously…we’ve learned to keep striving for excellence and that’s why the first thing on our New Year’s resolution list is to create more unforgettable gift baskets and gifts, and bring you the best customer service and assistance for your gifting needs.
Reds, pinks and pastels are filling up our workshop because we are already gearing up for Valentine and spring, and we’re ready to help you get a jump-start on your gifting.

Wishing you a sweet 2015!
