When You Can't Make It To Granny's Send A Gift Basket




The Thanksgiving holiday evokes thoughts of deciding which in-laws house to visit without creating a war, watching The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, football games, and the aromas of turkey and apple pie entwined.

This year, although gas prices have come down considerably since the summer, there is still the economics of whether your family is a plane ride away, not simply a car ride. Sadly, many people who usually jump a short flight to visit family are deciding to stay closer to home. In fact, many college students who would come normally come home for the extended weekend are scrambling to find friends close to campus to stay with.

For those of you who will not be gracing the family table this year, you will still want to create a presence so that you are not forgotten. There are so many options you can choose to be “almost” a part of the gathering. There’s the phone call, a live web cam hookup, an instant message, text message, a card or flowers. However, why not send something that is not only pleasing to the eye, but that can also be enjoyed by everyone all during the day.

Send a gift basket. There are so many delightful gift baskets to choose from: an autumn themed gift, a gourmet food gift basket, a Thanksgiving cookie bouquet, even a turkey made of lollipops! Why not visit Shop The Gift Basket Store at http://www.shopthegiftbasketstore.com to see the different varieties of Thanksgiving Day gift baskets they offer, as well as over 1000 gifts and gift baskets to choose from. And it’s so simple. Just pick, click and ship. We take care of everything for you.

And for those of you whose college students won’t be making it home this Thanksgiving, we offer a wide variety of gifts you can send. There’s the college care package, a traditional Thanksgiving gift basket, gourmet chocolate gifts, cookie bouquets and so much more. After all, they are still your little ones too. It wasn’t that long ago that the kids were fighting over who gets the turkey legs.

So this year when family can’t be together for the Thanksgiving holidays, send a gift. But don’t just send a gift, send a memory. You’ll be glad you did.
