I am a horror movie buff and always in-search of the next big scare… Paranormal Activity did NOT disappoint and I recommend this movie to anyone excited about indie films (I hear it cost between $11,000-$15,000 to make) and scary movies in general!
Movie tickets make a great corporate gift during the holidays, for a thank you or f
or team building. Plastic gift certificate cards can be packaged in a movie themed container with a bag of popcorn and a soda… I wouldn’t leave out the opportunity for a little chocolate but that is just me!
55 days until Santa’s visit!!!

I was on hand to see the awards given out at the second annual Melrose Music Meat and Greet! OBB Nashville donated the second prize – a large galvanized tin full of treats perfect for a little tailgating. The music industry has been very supportive of OBB Nashville and I’m thrilled to give back. To highlight the art and spirit of giving that is as much a part of Music City as the music, all monetary awards were split with local charities. Congratulations to Universal for winning second place and Sony for taking home the trophy!
It was a great night full of amazing barbecue!!! My husband Jefferson Ross, singe
r/songwriter and staff writer for CURB Publishing, brought home a 3rd place finish for the label with his special mustard Georgia sauce… I hear the judges came back for seconds on the duck! Here he is pictured giving the judges (Trace Adkins, Charlie Monk, and Kerry Collins) a run down on his technique.
I am Music City!

Cheekwood in Nashville, TN hosts an amazing and creative display of scarecrows designed by local schools, business’s and individuals.
Along with the scarecrows you can take in the fall colors and gallery displays inside the main house. Memberships make a unique holiday gift to be enjoyed all year long.
Ideas for packaging the membership could be to include it in a picnic basket, inside a journal, or with a disposable camera…

I remember a basket delivery last year… it was really close to an afternoon appointment and I thought I could save the client a little money if I dropped the gift off myself…
I left the meeting and headed to the drop off point… made it in record time and then spend over an hour finding my way back to the office!!! I saved the client a few dollars and cost myself over an hour of time.
I mention this because as you plan for your holiday gift giving know that there are professional gift designers out here to help save you time and ultimately the headache and frustration. I outsource my deliveries so I can focus on your gift design and you can focus on what drives your bottom dollar.
5 things to know when you’re hiring a gift basket company
1. Budget – provide a range within $10 and note if the budget includes shipping and handling and tax.
2. Delivery date – most holiday corporate gifts go out the week of the Dec 10th. Planning ahead allows you to ship ground… the savings here can really add up
3. Themes or ideas – This could mean adding a special item or using a specific color. With a little of this and a little of that a custom look can be achieved without breaking the bank.
4. Messages for cards – This is a great way to further customize your gift. Messages can be added to gift tag or to the shipping box.
5. Payment – most custom projects require a deposit upfront. OBB Nashville takes a 50% deposit before physically creating the gifts, but the intial consultation and design are free.
Please let us know how we can help!
