Wedding Gift Baskets


We went to a wedding with the idea I would just got to their wedding registry and assign a gift,  but they chose not to register anywhere.  That meant just putting money into an envelope.

Wine and Cheese Gift Basket

Does anybody else feel a bit strange about that sometimes?  First of all, I'm always second-guessing how much money and secondly, I know what I do when I get cash as a present.
I just put it in my purse and end up spending it at the grocery store or the parking garage.  True--maybe they could use it to buy gas for the car.  I don't want to do that any more.

I have a couple wedding presents I still use and think of the people who gave them every single time I use them. 

But I don't know the tastes of this couple well enough--I called her mom and found out they love to go to the local park for picnics with a basket of wine and cheese.

Problem solved!  I found a great wine basket at Baskets by Rita and called to ask if they'd help me personalize a couple items.  They were so nice and helpful.  No, I talked to the real person, not somebody in a foreign country, who was going to put the basket together for me.  The baskets are not mass produced and sitting on a shelf.  They make them individually after they get the order. 
The wedding invitation was covered with sunflowers and the wedding was at a site with a sunflower background.  I requested the basket contents and ribbon include  the bright sunflower yellow color.  I had it delivered to my house and I was so excited!  It was cool--when we arrived at the wedding, there were only plain cards on the gift table--the  made a huge impression did I ever get a huge bling for my money.  It definitely made an impression.  From now on, I'm walking into birthday parties, anniversaries, etc. with a basket.

Thank you That Shows a Token of Appreciation

 It is very difficult to show unusual and sincere and distinctive ways of saying thank you to someone you value or endorse. To pay honor to their abilities and work by commending them for support. You want them to be aware of your appreciation what they have accomplished for you or for others or for the business. To recognize that is the first step. To let the individual realize you sincerely and truly appreciate them and acknowledge them is extremely important. Delivering thanks is not just for Thanksgiving anymore. You must acclaim and endorse the behaviors you want to see continue. So the first stage is to be aware of showing appreciation and acknowledging it. That does not mean going overboard all the time and having to give lots of gifts or money for every little thing. Research have found that people respond to acknowledgements of even the tiniest kind such as a nod or look of approval or an real pat on the back. Even a smile and a look of facial gratitute could be ways of endorsing self esteem and showing you just like and recognize what has been done or said. These phrases of appreciation and acknowledgment show tribute to the person and show that you value them. Saying thank you works. Now if you overdo it for every little thing it thanks and appreciation lose their value. It has to fit your personal type and must be genuine. Sincere gratitude and the word here is sincere is enormous. For a corporate praise of any kind is good but eventually and periodically you need to put your money where your mouth is and hand something as appreciation of services and recognition of gratitute. That token of appreciation could be money such as a raise or cash with a thank you note. And you have to mix it up a little bit too. If you know the person shops at a specific store or enjoys a particular coffee house or restaurant you could give gift certificates. They are always appreciated. This works if you also do not want to make a big issue or applaud out loud for everyone to see or hear. Sometimes you do and you want others to step up so they too will get those monetary awards. So the looks, the thank you words, the notes and the random gift cards work. gourmet tea gift basketIf you feel you want something with more of a wow factor then consider an actual gift that wows. The problem with money or gift cards is that they are definitely appreciated but have an exact value and the amount given one employee can be perceived by others as a rating scale by what they get. My firm has small gift cards that are consistent for certain things then we started going to get plaques engraved and people displayed them for a while but are now removed and seem to be old hat to everyone. The secretaries said it is taking too much time to go out and shop for these prizes and that employees compare how much we spend on one compared to another. One of our secretaries found an Aurora based gift basket company that she now calls and has a gift basket or pail made up and delivered to us. It is so simple. Sometimes she just orders one of the baskets online from Baskets by Rita and tells them what to put on the card. More often recently she has been writing a note on the order or even calling and asking that the basket be creative. She just gives the price we want to pay and they put together a different gift basket crate box or pail every time. That way employees have no idea what amount we spent and theirs is unique. It is awesome way to say, "Thank You!- A Gourment Tea Basket." http://www.basketsbyrita.com

How to share your smile and wamth from a distance?


I just obtained a present basket in the mail from Colorado people who visited us. It was such and completely unforeseen a thoughtful and classy means to thank us. First of all, it was an overall shock and the second thing is it was an outstanding container from a community Denver business called Baskets by Rita. Cool. The items were astonishing-- such a fine range and it was an absolutely attractive basket with an upscale bow-- not your out-of-date 80's cutesy basket.

Initially the Colorado beef jerky was a favorite, then a person popped open the premium snacks and my daughter opened up the Rocky Mt. Salsa and chips and was visited her sibling so he might have some. The enthusiasm was there and he understood we liked it. He informed us he made use of the business for offering his 25 business gifts at X-mas and obtained such good feedback that he now calls them for practically every celebration.

He stated when he left the blossoms he delivered could not even begin to thank us for the excellent hospitality. When I opened up the box and obtained the basket and chatted with him, it simply improved our fantastic companionship.
I was so touched that I called Baskets by Rita (discovered their website online) and told them plus asked a few concerns about a beer tub to deliver for his birthday party. We had a fantastic conversation and she told me that sometimes she provides a few of the crate just to make her feel good because individuals are usually astounded and so pleased to get them. I think when I retire, I could provide blossoms or present baskets to keep myself happy.
