Christmas is a special time of year and means many different things to people.  We always find it interesting to survey our clients about;

  1. What gifts they received.
  2. Did they enjoy the gift.
  3. Was the gift appropriate.
  4. Was the gift just for them or to share with others.

Given our business is gifts, we talk to people who have received all manner of gifts such as experiences, gift cards, gift hampers, alcohol and many other things.

More and more we are seeing people spending time thinking about giving a gift that will be remembered and viewed as special.  Conversely, those receiving the gift form an opinion about what they are given, for example a local radio station today announced it is giving their staff $75 gift cards for use across several stores owned by a major Australian retailer.

Whilst the amount of money spent is reasonable, will the receivers of this gift remember in 12 months time what they received this year or what they purchased with the card?

Part of giving a gift is making it meaningful and leaving a lasting impression.  This is what our business is all about.

One of the often overlooked aspects of choosing a gift hamper or gift basket (or any gift for that matter) is how will it be sent to the receiver.

When choosing your gift hamper supplier some consideration should be give to this, particularly;

  1. What company will your gift company use to deliver the gift. Are they reputable?
  2. Ask what steps your gift company takes to ensure the gift is looked after in transit.
  3. Can your company track and trace the gift if there is a problem with delivery?
  4. What is the policy if the gift is damaged/lost in transit – see the terms and conditions page for this, reputable companies will outline their policy.

When it comes to sending a gift there are many things a gift hamper company can do to ensure safe, secure and on time delivery.  From the way the gift is packed to the courier company used, it is all part of the overall service.

 

 

As we get closer to Christmas our corporate clients review their gifting plans and decide what they will give out to employees, partners and suppliers.  Inevitably parties, gift cards, Gift Hampers, Gift Baskets and a range of other options are considered.  This year we have compiled our top 5 listing based on the popularity of our gifts so far and our suggestions for those really wanting to leave a lasting impression with whatever they give;

  1. $55 Sparkling Selection
  2. $79 Christmas Cracker
  3. $59 Santa’s Surprise
  4. $99 Glenbawn Goodies
  5. $199 Christmas Party Tub
  6. $550 Premium Picnic Hamper

and there is a huge range of other gifts at different prices.

Let us know what your favourite gift is and what you look for when choosing a gift for someone.

 

 

We are already in full swing for Christmas and as with each year it is surprising the range of requests we get, some so far include;

  1. A requirement for close to 1000 gifts delivered to all individual addresses.
  2. Gifts that include an expensive whiskey specifically chosen by the client
  3. A gift to the value of $1,000 that includes crystal ware and other glassware with expensive wines

All of this means working with the client to help them achieve just the right gift for their Christmas requirements.
