San Diego Wildfires



I want to take a moment to let everyone in Southern California know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I myself live in Southern California and was just last night allowed back into my home.
The fires are wicked and dangerous and can move and jump and demolish at a pace unknown to most. Thank you so much to all of the firemen, police officers, EMS, Sheriff's and National Guardsmen that are out there working tirelessly to defend our homes and our neighborhoods. Your efforts are not going unnoticed!
If you read this blog and know someone in California who has dealt with the fires, you can use the discount code T97C at checkout if you'd like to send them a "Thinking of you" gift basket, or perhaps a "Cheer Up" snack basket. This discount code will save you $10.00 on your order.
While so many people have lost their homes and obviously cannot receive mail, there are some people who only sustained damage and have been allowed back into their areas- perhaps they could use a little pick me up?!
That's all for now- just wanted everyone to know that we are thinking of you and pray that everything looks up after today.

Take Care-

"Basket Season" has begun!


Well, it is October 15th and "Basket Season" has officially begun! Did you know that tomorrow (10/16) is Boss's day? Order your basket today and choose overnight delivery for an on time gift that will really impress!
After Boss's Day we have....Halloween!! What a perfect Holiday for a gift basket. To me, Halloween embraces what gift baskets are all about. Candy, cheer, unique mystery and of course- that cheery feeling the recipient gets in the pit of their stomach when they open the door and find a special box just for them! We have more Halloween baskets this year then we've had in a while and if you haven't already, I highly suggest you stop by to check them out!

After Halloween comes (obviously) Thanksgiving- the perfect "snack basket" Holiday. Because really, what is better about being able to sit around with family and friends while snacking on some delicious baked goods while watching your favorite movie? Nothing compares!

And then, of course, we have Christmas and Hanukkah. We sell Kosher baskets and Hanukkah baskets as well as tons of NEW Christmas baskets. I once heard someone say, "Gift Baskets are the best because they are full of things you would never purchase on your own." I think this is very insightful because if you think about it, it's true! How many people do you know go to the store and buy bars of Ghiradelli chocolate, or sweet toasted marshmallows? They are both delicious, high quality sweets- and rarely are they purchased on a normal outing to the grocery store!!

So do something special for those who are too far to be with on these special Holidays. Send them a unique, quality, gift basket- from of course!!

Hope to see you soon!
