Hampering Around

We will shortly be announcing our early bird Christmas offer which is “order and pay for your Christmas gifts before October 31st and you will receive a 10% discount”

We extend this offer every year to our clients not just to offer financial benefit but due to the fact if they get in early we can better finalise arrangements for;

1. A customised gift (or something from our standard range).
2. Branding of the gift or branded corporate ribbon.
3. A unique and personal gift card message.
4. Delivery to one or multiple locations (it is much easier to organise this well in advance of the Christmas rush).
5. A nominated delivery date.

A great Christmas gift hamper

During our research for our Christmas and other ranges this year I came across an article that talked about the trends for gift giving this year, they were;

At Hampering Around our focus each year for our gift hampers and gift baskets is always points 1,2 and 3, we also always have correspondence in mind as well.  The message that is included in one of our gifts can often mean as much as the gift itself.

One example of where we use the above as guiding principles for our range is our wine selection.  We rigorously “road test” many different wines in an effort to ensure the wines we include in our range are something will truly add to the experience.  Unlike a traditional bricks and mortar retailer the experience our clients get is upon receipt of the gift.  This is where we want our gifts to truly stand out.

We have now finished all of our gifts for Christmas and the last of them have been despatched to ensure they are received today.  At this time of year we take the opportunity to reflect on the last few months, check any last minute gift issues and wind down for our Christmas break.

Thank you to all of our clients and partners in 2010 and those that have supported Hampering Around, without this support we would not have had the success we have. To our staff also who work tirelessly to meet our clients requirements, I also extend a big thank you.

Our office will be closed from the 24th of Decmeber and reopen on the 13th of January.

Merry Christmas to all and best wishes for a happy new year and prosperous 2011.

We are really into the final Christmas countdown with only a few days left for gifts to be delivered.  As with previous years it is a real pleasure to see the joy and Christmas cheer our gifts bring.  Clients from all over the world have sent gifts within Australia as well as us sending gifts to other countries for Australian clients.

For anyone considering a Christmas hamper, gift basket, corporate gift, gourmet hamper or any other type of Christmas gift, place your order as soon as possible so you don’t miss out.
