Don't just send a gift, send a memory



Don't just send a gift, send a memory!

If you are like most people, you are probably called upon quite a few times a year to send a gift to someone. It can be a birthday, graduation, get well, anniversary, new baby or a special housewarming gift. How many times do you drive to the mall not knowing what to get, wandering in and out of stores, while your lunch break gets shorter and shorter, or your laundry at home keeps piling. And as always, it’s just the same old same old.

Why not cut your driving time and costs, and just shop online at one of the many gift baskets stores listed. More often than not you will find something for just about any occasion.

New parents do get weary of opening the “same” style of gift over and over. Why not stand out and send a delightful new baby gift basket. Each basket carries a wonderful variety of different newborn gifts to delight any new parent. You can get a generic new baby gift basket, or one designed for a girl or a boy. There are many gift baskets for twins and triplets. Some gifts can be personalized. And don’t forget the whimsical diaper cakes that can double as a baby shower centerpiece or decoration for the nursery.

How many times do you find yourself in the position where you need to reach out to someone who is not feeling well? In this case, flowers just won’t do. Gift basket stores carry a wide selection of get well gift baskets or even elaborate cookies, cakes or cheesecakes to help put a smile back on someone’s face.

My favorite thing to send my senior citizen parents, as well as my senior aunts and uncles, are gift baskets for their birthdays and holidays. My elder parents have just about everything they need, so by sending a gift basket, I’m sending more than just a gift, I’m sending a special moment. Imagine their delight each time they get that special brown box delivered to their doorstep! It’s especially nice to send even a small gift of dried fruits and nuts (their favorites) or something else just to say I’m thinking of you. By doing this I’m not just sending a gift, I’m making a special moment for them, which can’t be measured in dollars and cents.

Next time you need to give a gift to someone special, let a gift basket convey your thoughts. Don’t just send a gift, send a memory!
