Send Executive Gourmet Gift Baskets to Seal a Deal

August 1, 2008

Are you a corporate executive or their secretary? If so, here’s a sure fire way to seal that contract you have been working on for weeks with your aggressive client. Send them an executive gourmet gift basket to say “Thanks for meeting with us” or “Looking forward to working with you in the future,” or your own personal message. How should you fill the executive gourmet gift baskets? There are several items to include in your unique gift basket. Most importantly, include your business card and another promotional marketing product from your company, such as an executive pen set or calendar. Then you might want to include a couple bottles of fine wine. Do you recall the bottle of wine you both shared over your last dinner meeting? Send your prospective client a bottle or two with a wine bottle opener along with a box of chocolates from a local candy store, biscotti or crackers, coordinated cloth napkins and an assortment of cheese spreads. Other food items that your prospective client might enjoy in their executive gourmet gift baskets are beef sticks, smoked almonds, or smoked salmon. Also select a large enough basket to accommodate all the items and line it with a nice tablecloth or tissue paper for an aesthetic look. Executive gourmet gift baskets are sure to please even the most finicky corporate gurus.

Mí Amoré Italian Gift Basket for Any Day

July 25, 2008

            I love (mi amore) an Italian gift basket any day of the week. Have you eaten at an authentic Italian restaurant recently? If you have, the tables usually have olive oil, dried pepper seeds and sometimes a small selection of herbs to add to your favorite Italian dishes. Do you know someone who loves Italy; why not send them an Italian gift basket, for no special reason? Frequent local niche shops for virgin olive oil, specialty pastas, and unusual sauces. For a fresh loaf of “pagnotta,” visit a local bakery or wine shop and while you’re there, have them suggest a red and white Italian wine. Tell them you are putting together an Italian gift basket and would like to sample both kinds of wine (if you are 21 or older of course). Include a recipe or two with the Italian gift basket for your friend or relative, using the ingredients you have selected. Remember an after dinner treat too; you may choose a coupon or gift certificate to an ice cream shop where they serve Italian gelato, be sure to try a sample for yourself as well or small packages of biscotti, tortoni, or sweet cakes. Why not try baking an Italian dessert yourself and sharing the recipe with the Italian gift basket. Put all your collected food items in a large basket, include a note with a couple Italian words and your personal message, use a colored ribbon such as green white or red or combination of these colors (Italy’s flag color) to wrap it up and voila – you have created an Italian gift basket for anyone on your list!

Best Gift Baskets to Give Come from the Heart

July 2, 2008

A gift basket is typically a gift that has special indulgent treats delivered to a loved one at home or their workplace. The best gift baskets someone can give are the ones filled with items that the recipient loves. For instance, traditional gift baskets may have fruits and cheeses, boxed or canned goods like tea, crackers and jam; the standards and goods for these gift baskets have changed as there are more gourmet baskets on the market with items including wine and cheese.

 

Some say the best gift baskets received had a theme such as a holiday, graduation, birthday, anniversary, baby shower, or housewarming. However, the best gift baskets are ones that come from your heart. If you are in the Cleveland area, Raisin Cane Gifts has beautiful gift baskets for your loved ones. Check out their website for the best gift basket ideas for any occasion.
