Kids Gift Baskets

What a wonderful category this has become! We started with a few new designs and the ball has not stopped rolling! I am so excited and I hope that everyone who knows a child finds this website! These baskets work great for a Kids Get Well gift, Kids Birthday gift, Children's Thinking Of You or Kids Congratulations gifts!
Children's Gift Baskets have always been difficult to find- good ones, that it. I am not a big believer in stuffing a cute box full of "junk" just because it's going to a kid. They are very perceptive and speak what is on their minds, if they don't like their gift they will probably let you know! I never wanted any of our gift baskets to be the gift that your child receives and says, "What am I supposed to do with all of this stuff?" We focused more on the betterment of the child himself by using brain exercisers like coloring books, activity books, puzzles, games, etc. Oh, and we also had to throw in the classics- silly putty, Pez, slinky and so on.


Our most unique gift baskets for kids come in the form of a "Kids Lemonade Stand" and a bucket of "I can make Mud Puddle Pie!" Our Kids Lemonade Stand is a great gift for the summertime and it forces your little ones to get out of the house, and into the sun. While they learn about business, and how to work together they also enjoy their time and the weather!


My favorite is the "I Can Make Mud Puddle Pie" mix. This adorable red bucket comes complete with chocolate baking mix, gummy worms and shovel for stirring. It is compact, unique, inexpensive and fun for the whole family!
Step outside the box the next time you go to order a children's gift. There are so many new, fun things out there that don't have to do with a TV or a video game!

See you soon!

Corporate Summer Gift Baskets

Summer planning is upon us and with Summer comes big corporate gift giving. Usually in the form of a formal recognition ceremony, an office party, or an awards banquet. Company gift giving is and always has been a very popular arena in which a gift basket is best suited. From gourmet coffee and tea, to the highest quality chocolates, to fine wines and international cuisine- there is no where else you can get everything in one big beautifully arranged basket.

Attempting to buy each of these items separately would be much more expensive, completely time consuming and an overall waste of gas as you drive from store to store looking for Godiva chocolates and Dom Perignon champagne- and with the price of gas at another record high I don't think anyone wants to waste it!

Take some time and browse our Corporate Gift Baskets, you'll find exactly what you are looking for and more. If you have something specific in mind, and you don't see it on our website, give me a call or send me an email, I am more then happy to do some more research to help you find exactly what you're looking for!

See you soon!

The Perfect Specialty Gift Basket

Hello to all of our readers! Almost 1 month later I am finally getting around to updating this blog- Easter was a rush! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and if you sent or received a Novel Easter Basket, I sincerely hope you enjoyed it and thank you for choosing us. Remeber each purchase counts towards great discounts and gifts in our Frequent Basket Buyers Club.

Don't forget I am always open to hearing your feedback on the basket, the process, the customer service, etc.


Now, onto the next round of special days this year! Coming up are Nurses Day (May 6), National Teachers Day (also May 6) and most notably, Mothers Day (May 11). Often times we aren't looking for a huge expensive gift for these Holidays, but rather, something unique and meaningful. Specialty gift baskets are a great gift because they are a category of unique gifts, diversified enough to fit anyone's tastes!

For example: Perhaps your childs 3rd grade teacher is an avid reader, and you happen to know that she loves James Patterson novels. Perfect! Our "Curl Up With A Good Book" gift basket includes snack mix, popcorn, chocolate chip cookies and the latest paperback novel by the author of your choice! Not only that, but it's only $29.99! It's a perfect gift for the teacher in your life.

Another example might be a nurse who has taken wonderful care of a family member or friend while they were in the hospital, or nursing home. Don't forget about the school nurses that work so hard every day in schools across America to ensure your kids stay healthy and safe! Nurses come in all types and honoring them is important, especially on "their" day. A Thank You Gift Basket always brings a smile to their faces. Another idea is something fun and whimsical for a Nurse like our "Get Well medicine Cabinet." Obviously, they aren't sick but how fun for them to receive a medicine cabinet filled with the things they are surrounded by everyday, only in candy form!

Mothers Day will always be a great Holiday for sending a gift basket. Our Mothers Day gifts will expand greatly this year so I will make sure to update you on those the closer we get to May 11. Start thinking now though, what is it that your Mother enjoys? What would she be delighted to receive in the mail? A Spa Gift Basket? A Chocolate Gift Basket? Maybe she is a fan of Book Gift Baskets too!


Whatever it is, Novel would love to help you send it!

Enjoy the beginning of April and hopefully we'll see you soon,
