Fall Gifts for Thanksgiving

Send Thanksgiving Gift Baskets
When You Can't Make the Trip Back Home
That chill in the morning air reminds me of Thanksgiving and those fantastic Thanksgiving dinners my mother used to prepare. It makes my mouth water to think about those meals. This year we are spending the day with my wife's family so I will miss my mom's great Thanksgiving spread. At Arttowngifts.com we have Gift Baskets for every occasion you can imagine including Thanksgiving. So I will be sending my mom and dad and extended family a Thanksgiving Gift Basket to make up for my absence. There are so many to choose from I had a hard time making a choice. Who knows they might like the baskets better than my visits.

My brother and his family will be making a 5 hour drive to my parents house. I am sending them our Thanksgiving Gourmet Gift Basket because it is perfect to put in the
car for the drive. There is something for everyone including sparkling apple cider and gourmet coffee. My sister in law will love the chocolates while my brother and his son will enjoy the real food so to speak. The contents include cocktail rye bread and mustard so they can make cheese and summer sausage sandwiches to keep their appetites at bay. There is cheddar cheese popcorn and lots of other snacks for them to munch as they make the drive.

For my parents I finally settled on our Harvest Bowl with Gourmet Treats Thanksgiving Gift. I know that my mom will love the hand painted ceramic bowl used to hold the gourmet foods and treats instead of the traditional gift basket. There are Alaska Smoked Salmon Fillets for my dad and Walnut Fudge for my mom. If I know my dad he will hide this gift from all of the company so that he and mom can have a picnic on their own once the guests all leave. By that time he will be tired of turkey and will enjoy the alternatives.

As an added treat I am sending my mom a gold rose to add to her collection of these real roses dipped in gold. There are also other varieties available including silver dipped roses, platinum dipped roses and a variety of colors dipped in lacquer and trimmed in gold. My mother loves them. She uses these gold roses as a table arrangement instead of fresh flowers or a dried arrangement.

Just think by Thanksgiving the election will finally be over and hopefully the country will be settled down and ready for a delightful holiday season. I can almost smell the fresh snow that is sure to cover my small town of Sandpoint soon. There is already snow falling in the mountains. Snow boarding is just around the corner and before you know it, we will be Christmas shopping.

Time to Make that Corporate Christmas Gift List

It is that time of year again to start thinking about making your Christmas Gift List. If you are like me, every year you promise yourself that you will start Christmas Shopping early and then before you know it you are enjoying Thanksgiving Dinner. Our goal at the Arttowngifts website for unique gift ideas is to make your Christmas Gift shopping easy. I normally think about and divide my Christmas Gift List into two mini lists: Personal and Business.

So with that thought in mind we will share some ideas for neat Christmas gifts ideas that will more than delight your clients, corporate associates and employees without breaking your budget. First, for those Corporate Gifts and Client Appreciation Gifts, we have two great ideas: Christmas Gift Baskets and Personalized Corporate Gifts.

The main difference between the two is that Holiday Gift Baskets can be easily shared and often create good will throughout the company while a Personalized Key Chain is just for one person. So if you need that staff at your best client on your side, opt for a Gourmet Basket. If you can afford it, send the staff a Gift Basket and the main buyer a personalized gift. In some cases their corporate gift receiving policies might actually make a Gift Basket a better choice.

The first easy idea is to send an affordable Client Appreciation Christmas Gift Basket. This Bountiful Gift Basket is our most popular Corporate Gift Basket. And to make it easy and more than affordable, this Basket Food Gift comes in 6 different sizes. There are numerous traditional Corporate Christmas Gift Baskets available in various sizes and styles. My favorite is the Season's Greetings Gift Basket which is also available in three sizes. Another favorite Christmas basket gift is the Holiday Celebration Gift Basket also available in three sizes.

Stay tuned for Personalized Gift suggestions for clients and employees in my next post. Then I will close the deal with Christmas and Holiday Gift ideas for your friends and family. Just remember the trick is to order early and save on those last minute shipping costs. Most websites will take your order now and delay shipping if you just make that request. Talk to you soon!
