Valentines Gift Baskets Make Perfect Gifts

Valentines Gift Baskets Make Perfect Gifts



Valentines gift baskets are a perfect gift for that special someone in your life. Why? Because anything you give looks so much more special in a nicely wrapped basket.

You have many options to choose from. Chocolates are probably the number one choice for a Valentines gift basket. But these are not just any chocolates. They are gourmet goodies that someone most likely would not buy for themselves. That's why they make such a nice gift - they are a real treat.
There are other gourmet foods type baskets hosting things like cookies, popcorn and other delicious treats.

Another popular gift with the lady in your life would be a spa gift basket. She will receive a beautiful arrangement of lovely spa items that she can use to pamper herself anytime she wants to. Sure to be a hit!

A rather unique gift is the bouquet of long stemmed chocolate roses. They look so pretty and they are edible!

The great thing about giving Valentines gift baskets are that you can either have it delivered right to the person or it can come to you so you can hand deliver it. Your choice. Either way, they make wonderful gifts.

Maybe you are going out to dinner on Valentines Day. That is always a popular thing to do for couples. At the end of the night, you can present them with this lovely gift. A great ending to a nice evening.

Do you buy your mom a gift on this special day? If so, gift baskets are a perfect choice. This is especially nice if you don't live near her anymore. It tells her that you are still thinking of her. All you have to do is shop online, choose one she will like, and have it delivered right to her.

This is a great way to stay in touch with loved ones and Valentines Day is the king of "showing love days."

I would recommend shopping a little early so that you can have the best selection of baskets. The companies tend to run out of the popular ones as it gets closer to the day. You can just schedule when you want it to be delivered or sent to you.

Make your gift a memorable one and give choose from many beautiful Valentines gift baskets that are available.

Looking for a gift that says "You're Special!" this Valentines Day? Visit Valentines Day gift baskets and choose a special gift from the lovely selection of baskets.

InTec gives gift baskets to families of new employees

When a basket of sugar cookies arrived at Elaine Schlegel’s front door on a Saturday afternoon, nobody was more surprised than she was.

Except maybe her kids.

“They were so excited,” Schlegel said of her children, now 6 and 3. “They thought it was somebody’s birthday.”

The cookies were from InTec, where Schlegel had begun working days earlier.

The government contracting firm has been welcoming new employees and their families with gift baskets since its founding seven years ago. Baskets are ordered and delivered to the employee’s home during their first week at the firm.

“It’s an immediate way to show employees that we care — not only about them, but about their whole family,” said Robert Donaldson, director of human resources.

InTec founder and president Bruce Donaldson (also Robert’s father) says he first got the idea for the welcome baskets during his 21-year career in the Army’s Corps of Engineers.

Super Bowl program creating gift baskets for 7,000 ill kids nationwide

— While attention for Super Bowl XLVI is centered on Indianapolis, a new project led in part by former Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy is focusing attention on 7,000 hospitalized children.

Super Baskets of Hope is the first Super Bowl host city service project that reaches across the nation. America's 32 NFL markets, including Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana, will receive 7,000 gift-filled baskets for critically ill children.

Elizabeth Jacques, Communications Coordinator for Riley Children's Foundation, said the project felt insane at first because of its magnitude. "But to do this for sick kids in each city, it's just an awesome extension of Hoosier Hospitality and kind of what we're all about here at Riley," Jacques said.

Bankers Life Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis, will swarm with hundreds of volunteers helping to fill baskets with items to offer entertainment and inspiration to sick children. NFL players, coaches, alumni and other regional volunteers will distribute the baskets in each city the week before the Super Bowl.

Holiday gift basket donors: Your support was priceless

Once again the Holiday Food and Gift Basket (HFGB) Program was a huge success. Thanks to a generous community we helped 950 households (over 2,200 individuals) have a happier holiday season by providing Thanksgiving food cards and personal holiday gifts. 

As coordinator I now appreciate how special the HFGB is for everyone involved. Regardless if one was on the giving end or receiving end, the true spirit of the holidays was clearly seen and felt.

I was especially impressed by the number of hands that came together in a short period of time to make the program work, including a volunteer driver who had been a grateful recipient of the program for several years. She was more than happy to be in a position to give back. 

Many volunteers, sponsors and drivers have been a part of the program for years. One family has made it their tradition to deliver gifts, bring treats and visit with the elderly residents of the Oaks. I was touched that many drivers took the time to visit with the families and individuals receiving the gifts. Again, proving it’s not all about the gifts.

Gift basket company helping mental health patients learn job skills

 

 Holding a job is one of the best ways to regain independence.

Under a new program, Southwest Behavioral Health of Payson clients are learning just that and creating beautiful gift baskets.

Last year, Delicious Arizona was formed as a way to provide job training for SBH clients.
The company makes high-end gift baskets for hotels, restaurants, casinos and local professionals.

“Providing training and support to people who want to take care of themselves is very rewarding, because they learn to be a responsible employee, hold down a job, and learn to enjoy a life of independence,” said Nanci Stone, vice president of SBH.
