A Celebration To Remember

We are often asked  “How can I thank my client’s entire team?” The best way is to create an impromptu party that they will remember long after the goodies are devoured. Our festive gift basket called A Celebration To Remember always gets rave reviews.

This huge and impressive gift includes a large assortment of fine hand made chocolates, award winning confections and gourmet items, nuts, and snacks perfect for sharing. You can add a free personalized ribbon banner. It can be decorated for New Years with festive jewel tone colors combined with glitzy gold or silver and 2012 decorations.

A smaller version of this gift is also available in an elegant black leatherette container that makes a great magazine basket for the office.

The Tall Party Tower is another brand new gift that is perfect for 10 people or more. Another less expensive choice is a cookie and chocolate bouquet.

Whether you need a small individual gift or a large corporate gift for the whole team, give us a call! We are at your service!

Give your client’s an unexpected, fun and delicious “we’re LUCKY you’re our client” basket to show your appreciation for their business and referrals. For another memorable touch of fun, add a lotto ticket to the gift.

Valentine's Day Latte Mugs Are A Hit!

Festive little gifts that are appropriate for parents, grandparents, friends, kids,  or co-workers are very popular for every holiday! Valentine’s Day is no exception. Sometimes you want to give a Token Of Affection just to say “I’m thinking of you!” or  “I appreciate you!”  An over sized latte mug filled with delicious chocolates, cookies and coffee, tea or cocoa is very popular. Oversized mugs also double as a soup bowl. These small tokens of affection  deliver an unexpected surprise and big smiles. They won’t forget how you made them feel! 

Another popular Valentine’s Day idea is using the theme for business gifts. A gift basket filled with cookies and chocolates or gourmet snacks, and decorated for Valentine’s Day, can also be a great way to show appreciation to a good client and  their team. The message can say “We Love Your Business!” or “A Heartfelt Thanks!”     

Valentine’s Day is just days away. Give us a call and we will design a gift within your budget to match any personality!

Holiday Elves And Reindeer

The decorative elves and reindeer at The Best To You look so excited to  be out of the box and in the showroom greeting delighted customers!  The snowman cookie jars and stacking boxes are unpacked, and ready to be filled with decadent cookies, chocolates and confections.

 The shop is brimming from floor to ceiling with gifts for every personality and gourmet goodies to please even the most discriminating client.  The elegant new leatherette containers and rich looking mahogany colored baskets are stocked along with the festive burgundy tin buckets splashed with white snowflakes. Golf gifts, upscale leatherette wine carriers with all the accessories, picnic bags with service for two, and elegant candle vases that come in gorgeous black and ivory satin boxes, just to name a few items.

Chocolate dipped Oreo cookies, Peppermint Cocoa Kits, hand made chocolate truffles, Triple Chocolate Cookies bottomed in white chocolate and lemon rasberry gourmet cookies are just a few of my personal favorites.

There is a frenzy of activity and the work benches are filled with Holiday baskets of all sizes and types being created for our valued corporate clients. I love Holiday time at The Best To You! I love the over stocked shelves,candle aromas, the Holiday goodies, the music, the gorgeous designs we create, the good will and joy we deliver, and especially….hearing from so many clients and friends! Happy Holidays!

It is great to match the gift to the personality and goals of the graduate. Will he or she be traveling for awhile after graduating? Continuing further studies? Beginning a new career?

A beautiful  picture frame to commemorate the event is always a good idea! The container should be both elegant and functional. One idea is a leatherette magazine basket that has multiple uses (can hold books, magazines, file folders) and makes a striking presentation when filled with unique gifts and goodies.  A special book is also a great addition to the gift basket! We have a nice coffee table book called “The Best Of Success” that is perfect for this occasion.

If they are starting a job or career, our designer box clock is very unique for the desk. It looks like an elegant leather box until you open the lid and the clock pops up.

If  it is a young graduate who is continuing their education, a festive gift basket or stacking boxes filled with chocolates, cookies and assorted surprises makes for an impromptu celebration that the graduate can share with family or friends. They might also enjoy the Vision Board Kit, which comes with instructions, paper, a CD, and Vision Board booklet, so that they can create a poster of all their dreams and goals to look at and visualize daily.

Don’t forget the mini graduates (from elementary school to Jr High School, etc. ) A small Celebration basket can create a lasting memory.
