Gift Baskets – Anything but a Basket!

Arttowngifts.com just added a new spa gift line that in addition to featuring outstanding lotions and potions comes packaged in interesting functional containers such as Spa Giftsmedicine cabinets, magazine racks, tote bags, train cases and art deco boxes. So while the recipient can enjoy the luxury of fancy lotions and scrubs, scented candles and other aromatherapy products, they will also continue to enjoy the gift containers for years to come. Check out the Morning Glory Aroma Luxury Bath Cabinet Collection for yourself. This handy high quality cabinet will make a nice addition to any bath or bedroom. Another example is this Vanilla Bath Magazine Rack Collection. Once these high end vanilla scented bath products are used, the magazine rack will continue service in the bathroom, bedroom or even home office.

This new bed and bath spa product collection emphasizes that these days a gift basket is anything but a basket. Today the term "gift basket" is utilized to describe a broad range of products grouped together into a themed collection of related and useful gifts. In many cases the container used to temporally house the gift collection serves a practical purpose such as reusable planters, trays, bowls and collectible boxes.

For example in the case of baby gift baskets such as the Babies Essential Blue Gift Basket the set includes everything a need mom needs for a new baby all packaged in a functional diaper bag. The Newborn Baby Blue Bassinet features a real bassinet as the container for a variety of baby products.

Wine GiftsShipped fine wines are often grouped with high end gourmet foods and packaged in interesting containers. For example an antique replica leather chest is used to package a VIP Corporate Wine Line. A replica of an antique travel trunk is used to hold an International Wine & Gourmet Gift. Another favorite container of course is the traditional picnic basket. Collapsible coolers are also popular.

With the buying power of companies such as Arttowngifts.com that specialize in gift baskets the customer received much greater value when buying a gift basket than they could derive if the items were purchase individually. The examples are numerous but the theme is the same. Gift baskets today include high end consumables with practical purposeful containers for a gift that keeps on giving.

The goal was to determine the best tasting chocolate and candies to feature and sell at Arttowngits.com. Bodega chocolates and candies are now the featured supplier of boxed candies here at Arttowngifts.com.

Known for their signature Truffles and Confections the BODEGA CHOCOLATES collection is extensive and includes high quality yet affordable candies. I am known as the staff chocoholic so I consumed more than my share of candy Chocolate Samplerduring the test. (No sacrifice is too great for our customers.) My favorite recommendation is the Assorted Confections & More Deluxe Sampler Gift Box.

Bodega products are made by hand, using the old fashioned European style small batch method with the strictest adherence to quality. Bodega candies are kosher. Generations old family recipes are still used to create their magical blends of chocolat. The company was founded by Nena Castaneda, the great grandmother, of today’s owners. Her dark chocolate delicacies brought both common people and high society to a tree lined cozy storefront where an espresso, always accompanied the purchase. Her philosophy was simple:

Nothing but the finest, nothing but the best, 'this' they will remember.

Once you bite into a Bodega Truffle you will know that this statement is still the company’s mission. We are not the only ones who loved these delectable chocolates.

Featured on the Oprah Show in O Magazine each piece in this collection is unique and incorporates a different feel.

The good news is that these true works of art are finally available for a reasonable price. They add a touch of class to any wall and are suitable for home or office use.

Architectural Personalized Name Frame

You choose the letters. For example select your business name for the office or your family name for the family room, home office or study. Another popular version is to design an inspirational sign by decorating with a word like dream, love, peace, hope or faith.

Architectural Name Frame II
An alternative version is our Architectural Three Character Frame which includes three letters or symbols of your choice in a 10 inch x 17 inch frame with a large charcoal grey mat surrounded by a black frame. This affordable piece combines art, architecture and nature into an exceptional piece of art for a true designer look.

Each letter or symbol is individually framed, allowing you the freedom to display each piece in a variety of creative ways as you hang them on your wall. Each frame measures 4 inches x 6 inches. Order as many as you would like to create the look you desire. These single letter frames are my favorite of the three both for my house and office but also as gifts for my friends and co-workers.

They make great gifts when you need a little something for a group of people but need to watch the budget. Not only are they affordable they are personal.

Bosses Deserve Their Day

Pat your Boss on the back with a gift this Boss's Day.
This last year has certainly been a difficult one for anyone involved in running a business. What with the economy rolling off a cliff as some have described the recent financial challenges, bosses have faced more than their share of difficult decisions. While many of us have taken on more work due to lay offs, our bosses have struggled to make ends meet and keep our businesses, large and small, afloat. This is the one time of the year that we acknowledge their dedication instead of resenting their demands.

Boss's Day is Friday October 16th.
So have a pow wow and decide on a great boss's day gift to tell your boss you understand their hard work. Whether you prefer to purchase a gift as a group or buy separate gifts, there is a plethora of great gift ideas most of which you can order online. So let's Executive Gift Basketstart with the obvious. Get the boss a gift basket. You can go for something with an executive theme such as the Executive's Gourmet Desk Caddy. The great thing about this gift is that the gourmet goodies such as pastry cookies, brownies, crackers, cheese, truffles and popcorn fudge all come packed in a keepsake solid wood caddy with antique brass latch. So your boss will have the chest for years to come long after all the treats have been consumed.

In honor of a job well done give a Wine Basket.
If your company is still alive after the last year then your boss has done a good job. So give him or her a round of applause and the opportunity to enjoy a nice toast with a high end yet affordable wine basket. Consider the Extravagant Wine Lovers & Gourmet Basket. This gift includes two acclaimed red wines paired with high end gourmet delights such as smoked salmon, Italian biscotti, signature caviar, truffles and more all arranged in a top stitched black leather tray ...perfect for later use as a desk top out box or in box depending on your boss's workflow.

Prefer something more personal ...
A personalized gift is always a good idea for occasions such as Bosses Day. For a female boss you might want to consider a Heart Shaped Silver Paper Weight which can be engraved with two lines leaving room for your boss's name and either the company name or the current year. For the guys a Personalized Multi-Purpose Tool for their pocket or glove compartment is a a good idea. Gadgets likes these are truly functional so they are sure to be appreciated for many years to come.

What about handmade desk accessories and writing instruments?
What is better than a fancy writing instrument? The answer is a handmade fancy pen with name brand insides. That is exactly the description of our Wall Street II Style Ballpoint Pen. It is a hand turned pen with Montblanc mechanisms on the inside. You can choose to have your pen crafted from a variety of materials such as Ebony woods, fine acrylics and wood burls. In addition you can order matching desk accessories such as a triple magnifying glass or letter opener for a complete set. These hand crafted desk sets look like they cost thousand of dollars when in reality they are truly affordable. You can purchase a pen for only $59.95.

What ever you decide, be sure to let your boss know that you do appreciate the hard work and stress they face to keep people on the payroll and businesses functioning.

Grandparents Day Gift Ideas

wine basket for grandparent's day giftGrandparents Day is the Sunday after Labor Day
Have you made arrangements for a Grandparent's Day Gift? If you haven't already sent a gift now is the time to decide how you will honor your grandparents for their special day. I know that sometimes it seems there is an over abundance of holidays but trust me your grandparents appreciate when they are remembered. So even if you do not send a gift or a card, remember to give them a call or visit on Grandparent's Day.

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Grandparents' Day
You can always send your grandmother or grandfather a gift basket. Most companies such as Arttowngifts.com can arrange to have gifts delivered up until the last minute before a holiday. At Arttowngifts.com we even offer a complete selection of same day gifts which can be delivered on the same day you place your order. Of course the sooner you place your order the better. Last minute gift choices include wine gifts, fruit baskets, balloon bouquets and florist arranged flowers. Both the wine and fruit gifts come with a nice selection of gourmet foods. You can also add chocolates to the balloons and balloons to the various baskets. Just keep in mind that Sundays can be problematic in terms of delivery particularly in smaller towns so please try to place your order in time for Friday or Saturday delivery.

Gifts Available for Next Day Delivery
Most of our gifts are available for immediate shipping for next day delivery (using expedited shipping methods) including our flowers delivered direct from the grower. These flower bouquets provide great value. You receive significantly more flowers for the price and the arrangements normally last much longer than florist arranged flowers. This is because they are cut just before being shipped to the final recipient. If you prefer a more lasting gift than fresh flowers, consider our gold roses which come in a variety of styles and colors. These "dipped roses" are real roses that are dipped in gold, silver, platinum or lacquer in order preserve them. They should ultimately become family heirlooms and keepsakes. Our complete line of gift baskets including gift collections that encompass all kinds of hobby themes can be shipped the same day you place your order. I like the fact that you can make your selection personal. For example if your grand dad likes to play golf then send him a golf gift basket. If your grandmom likes to garden send her a garden gift basket.
As you can see there are lots of choices for ways to remember your papa and granny. There is still time to place an order or send a card. What ever you decide to do for Grandparent's day just be sure to let your grandma and grandpa know how much they mean to you.
