The older I get the more I need to check that list!!! I’m always forgetting someone… which I have to say is horrible for a gift basket company owner… but life seems to be always moving at 90 miles an hour.

Unexpected Guests
Let’s chat for just a minute about the unexpected guest. Small gift baskets are great for the unexpected guest OR for that last minute hostess gift. 3 items including a savory snack such as a pretzel mix, cookies, and a chocolate treat packaged in a tin or small basket are a great cost effective unisex gift to have on hand… and if you don’t need it the snacks will come in handing in January!

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!!!

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!
