Avoid Chirstmas Gift Giving Stress [ October 31st, 2009 ] Posted in » Christmas and Hanukkah, Gift Baskets, Gift Giving by James

It may be hard to believe, but Christmas is right around the corner. It feels like only a few weeks ago we were roasting hotdogs and hamburgers, and donning our swimsuits for a weekend at the beach. The crisp chill of autumn flew by and now it is time to celebrate and sing Silent Night. If the busy holidays have you wanting to hide under your down comforter until next July, relax. A few simple tips can ensure you have a happy, stress-free holiday season.

Everyone knows the hustle and bustle of the holiday brings with it the need to shop for gifts. It can be overwhelming finding just the right item for everyone on your list.  The stress and frustration may be enough to make you want to give up. However, if you still want to spread the joy of Christmas through unique, one-of-a-kind items, consider creating a present filled with things the recipient will love.

Exchanging gifts for Christmas is a longheld tradition that helps to spread the joy of the holiday. Presents are appropriate for a variety of situations. During gatherings, you should bring a token of your appreciation to the home of the host. You may also have people in your life like teachers, co-workers, and service providers who would appreciate the thought of a small present. While they may be expecting a run-of-the-mill item, appropriate for just about anyone in your life, you could surprise them with something especially chosen for them. You will need to take time to think of their likes and dislikes, but they will notice your effort.

Secretary’s Day in Canada

One of the most important holidays or events for any business is Administrative Professionals Day. Why? Because office support staff ensures that your operation runs smoothly! Business owners and managers have enough to do these days in the competitive business environment and staying organized and on top of everything requires assistance. Administrative professionals often receive Secretary’s Day gifts to acknowledge their contribution to the workplace but this specific event is set aside to provide a clear focus on these valuable members of the team. The term Secretary’s Day was changed in 2000 to Administrative Professional’s Day to acknowledge the wide range of skills and responsibilities that today’s office staff has taken on… regardless of which name choice, remember the importance of recognizing their immense value! Have a peak at our new Administrative Professionals Day Gift Baskets category to see the types of gifts that may be suitable for your special recipients!

Easter Gift Baskets in Canada - some of our plushest designs!

Ok, plushest isn’t a word…”ain’t got no dictionary!” (sorry, a ‘Good Times’ moment popped into my head - only people 40+ might get that reference). But our designers are in full swing creating great Easter gifts for yet another wonderful spring season!  Although we’re still waiting for some of our primary stock (ie. chocolate!), 5 new designs have already been created with gorgeous plush as their focal point.  These designs still need to be photographed and priced/described, but it’s a start.  We expect to have 15-20 Easter designs at all price points.  Join our gift mail list to get instant notification when these designs are all online.  Here’s another article that describes sending Easter gifts for family!

Flowers in Canada - Spring Is Just Around the Corner

The snow keeps falling, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Spring is less than a month away. Although there are no flowers on the ground up here in Canada, we definitely saw many of them this Valentine’s Day. It was a nice reminder of what is yet to come.  Our flowers in Canada category has definitely improved over the last few months and we’re already gearing up for our Mother’s Day flowers selection.  Keep checking back for more great rose and lily bouquet selections as well as our ever popular flowering plants!

Valentine’s Day Gifts Now Online…

The holidays hit us hard and kept pummeling us! It was a successful Christmas season, but too many activities were set aside to handle the volume. Non-essential things like updating our blog.  Alot of new things weren’t happening. It was hard enough to keep up with rush. No matter how many extra staff you hire, it’s always not enough. Fortunately, we’re back in the game and ready for the next special day, Valentine’s Day! Our gorgeous Valentine’s Day gifts are now online! This year, Laurie and her designers have outdone themselves, ensuring a wide selection of beautiful gifts such as the understated Love Letter Valentine Gift or the cute and furry Nuts About You Valentine’s Day Basket. Remember to take special care in selecting your gift for that special someone in your life!

The Perfect Halloween Office Party

Fall is that time of year when everyone, at home and at work, are planning the holiday season. Many companies plan a holiday office party. Usually this is in late November or early December. Often a company will overlook Halloween, except to allow employees the opportunity to dress up on Oct 31st. They miss out on the perfect opportunity to create extra excitement in their employee’s often boring work life.  A Halloween office party is the perfect opportunity to spice up the otherwise dull Autumn. The fall foliage may be beautiful, but the cold and rainy weather can be a tad depressing. If your company needs an excuse to party, Halloween may do the trick!
