Gift Basket Goodies Unboxing with Shawn Parola

Did you know we’ve been in business 18 years this year? Time flies when you’re having fun!

Unboxing Gift Basket Items

I did this unboxing on July 7, 2022.

We got the most adorable “box” filled with some FUN ITEMS we are going to include in our own

gift baskets, too.  But, the ACTUAL box is adorable. “A virtual HIGH FIVE on the box, the definition of joy,

smile, open the box and then pass it on. We totally rock.” All on the outer box.

The inside goodies have a “”virtual beach including sand for those of us who cannot get to the beach.

“Reduce your stress gifts.” “Yoga Gift Boxes.” “Mini Zen Garden” gifts to help people relax.

A “Jar of Ick” which is fun for kids and fun for Halloween! (We do a lot of Halloween Gift Baskets

every year – it’s kind of our thing.) We also have new mini “80’s arcade games.” We love working with

Toysmith. We are excited to include them in a lot of our Halloween and Holiday Gifts.

We have been super busy with New Hire Gifts, Custom Gifts, and lots of birthday baskets, too. Birthdays are year-round, so we get those a lot. Same with Appreciation gift baskets.

Say Thank You with an Admin Support Gift Basket

Administrative Professionals Day: Say Thank You With an Admin Support Gift Basket

Is there anyone more important than the Administrative Assistant at your company?

admin professional day

Our guess is NO!

Say Thank You with an Admin Support Gift Basket, Gift Box, or a tray like we have pictured below.

Admin Support Gift Basket

You Are So Appreciated Gift 

Some companies call this position an Executive Admin and others call this position Administrative Professional. Here in Silicon Valley, we often hear the term “EA.”  And, everyone knows the EA is the actual boss!  They know the calendar, they have the credit card,  and they know who the right people within the company to get things done. (And, they know how to get the travel expense reports turned in and paid before the credit card bill is even due.)

Administrative Assistants Week

But, seriously, thanking your Administrative Assistant can be tricky. We are here to help you show your appreciation for the person running your department or your life.  This year, the actual day is April 27th – but it is a good idea to recognize the entire week as it is known as Administrative Professional’s Week. (Yes, they deserve an entire week!)

We have a few blogs with ideas for you. This one we created in 2016 for Administrative Professional’s Week.

Last year, we wrote this “How Do You Thank Your Administrative Assistant During a Pandemic” blog.

We love to create custom gifts for your Administrative Assistant and we can create any quantity from 1 to 500 if you need a whole bunch. We can create gift boxes or gift baskets and we can work around your budget. We also can ship out gift boxes

Personalized gifts for Administrative Professionals Day – Do You Need a Gorgeous and Effortless Admin Gift?

admin-day-gift

Admin Professionals Day is April  27th  and we have got you covered!

We have written a few blog articles about this day because it is VERY important to remember your admin. Your admin most likely talks with you and works with you more often than your partner or spouse. They often run the whole show and you may rely on that person VERY HEAVILY. He or she definitely deserves a gift or bonus, right?

This is the live link to all of the gifts in our “business” category and there are about a

Employee Appreciation Day Ideas for 2022

Employee Appreciation Gift

Appreciation Thank You, Gift Tray, $65 Plus Shipping.

Do you know why it is important to reward your employees and staff in 2022?

Why Employee Appreciation Gifts Are More Important Now More Than Ever. (Thank you, Covid.)

  1. The Great Resignation. (High attrition rates are not good for your company’s bottom line.)
  2. It is very expensive to hire new employees. (Lots of time and cash is required to recruit and hire.)
  3. You get more productivity from an employee that feels appreciated.
  4. Your company will benefit from more innovation from the employee which makes their job more fulfilling, for beginners. And, the additional innovation is fantastic for your company.
  5. Foster kindness and gratitude as part of your company’s ethos.++

Here at All The Buzz Gifts, we can make 1 to 500 of any of our pre-made gift baskets snd gift boxes. (With enough notice, of course.)

You can browse our website here for all of our pre-made gifts.

birthday-giftWe are so excited that we were on CBS News, channel 5, the Bay Area’s CBS channel. ! The reporter from CBS wanted to talk about supply chain issues and how we managed the holiday season, and the supply chain problems we have experienced in the last 6 months.

Check out my interview here:

Enjoy and we would love your feedback.

New Year’s is a Great Time to Reward Your Employees or Clients

New-Year-Thank-You

Reward Your Clients & Employees

We have been planning (and kinda hoarding) inventory for this Q4 intensity that we know is coming. We have all been hearing about the supply chain issues for months now. We even rented a storage pod to help us squirrel away stuff. We really hate to let our clients down, but there is most likely going to be one or two disappointed clients this year….. which leads us to this article.

The supply chain issues have also created shipping delays – so that means after we turn it over to UPS, FedEx, or the USPS – we will not be able to guarantee on-time delivery this season. So please get your orders in now!

But, we also have other ideas and some magic we can make happen for you. What if you considered the idea of a New Year gift? If you are looking for a way to show your employees your appreciation for the great 2021 you had? Or, maybe you want them to kick off 2022 with exciting new energy and get them off on the right foot? This is a great way to reward your employees and clients.  Christmas Crate Gift Basket

Employer Holiday Traditions

Before Christmas became the most popular gift-giving holiday, New Year’s was the day to treat your friends, family, and leaders with gifts. In the tradition of good wishes and embarking on a fresh new year, most gifts symbolize wealth, prosperity, fertility, or luck. From ancient times to today, New Year’s is a time to convey your hopes for a prosperous year with a token of affection.

 

Our All The Buzz Gifts are curated by our in-house team of experts and include only unique items that will delight every recipient on anycheers-to-2022 occasion! From personalized photo canvases and custom mugs for family members who love coffee, thoughtful wall art prints and home decor pieces for friends moving into new homes, or even fun office supplies like desk organizers and paper trays for work colleagues; we’ve got you covered! We make gifting easy with our popular Instagram printables collection which includes trendy signs, quote posters, calendars & more!

The holiday season is over and you still have employees who need to be thanked for their hard work.

You can’t afford to let your employees go without a thank you gift, especially if they are part of the team that made this year’s sales possible.

New-hire-giftSolution: All the Buzz Gifts have got your back! Whether it’s just one employee or an entire department, we’ve got something for everyone! We also offer new hire gifts so that all new hires feel welcomed into the company culture. Check out this New Hire gift we have created for Intuit. We included this one because we wanted to give you some inspiration for your corporate gifting. We make this for them and ship them directly to their new employees, but this could easily be turned into a custom Happy New Year or Thank You gift basket. We can put your company name or a message on the bucket and the ribbon.

We will add a bunch more examples at the bottom. And, we could LOVE to talk with you about ideas that we can ship out after Christmas. Take the pressure off of you. Enjoy your holiday and let’s get them out to your employees, clients, reps, or your staff in the New Year. Email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com (You can even send me a spreadsheet with your recipients’ names and addresses and we can take it from there.)

It’s been a long year and you want to get your friends, family, clients, and employees something special for the New Year.

We can make gift baskets and gift boxes for pretty much any budget. $25 to $250 is the typical range. So, we can do small or more luxurious baskets. We have lots of ideas for you. Check out this blog article for a bunch of custom corporate gift baskets we have made in the past. We can even make a “California” themed gift box and include one of your custom Yeti water bottles, tumbler, coffee mug, umbrella, note pad, or post-its. We can also make custom etched wooden cutting boards and a whole bunch more fun goodies. We also carry lots of “born in California” products which can help to personalize your gifts. We have honey from Bloom Honey, sweet and spicy jalapenos from Sonya’s Sweet & Spicy, locally made chocolate truffles, caramel popcorn and so much more. Just email us and we can gift you a list of all of our products Made in California.

Here are some more of our recent custom gifts that will hopefully give you some inspiration so we can be sure your friends, family, clients, and employees feel valued and feel lots of gratitude from you.

Thanksgiving Gift Baskets for Employees

Employee Thanksgiving Gifts

Employee Thanksgiving Gifts

Just because we might not all be around to show thanks together doesn’t mean we should stop showing thanks! Your employees, now more than ever, are likely craving recognition, interaction, and appreciation. We can help and make it a simple process for you. We can even ship each of your employee’s gifts to their home if they are in the U.S.

We have heard that here in Silicon Valley, in 2022, lots of companies were thanking their employees via a Zoom call or a Slack channel. And, we have heard some local companies giving employees an extra few hours off and taking them for a long lunch as a thank-you gift. But, in 2023, lots of employees are back to work 3 days or more and are ready to be clearly appreciated.

But, let’s face it, this 2023 is really trying all of our nerves, right? Covid is making a come back and we have a new vaccine coming. We have just the solution.

Customized and Personalized Gift Baskets for Your Employee

We can personalize all of our gift baskets and gift boxes. (Yes, with their name or your logo – or both.) Of course, there is a small extra fee, but we can use vinyl lettering or make custom ribbons for your gift. We can also make big custom coffee mugs, water bottles, and lots of other fun items. Our technology allows us to add their name or your company name to lots of surfaces and products. (The below gift is an item we created for the local Silicon Valley YWCA.  Fall & Thanksgiving Gift Baskets.

YWCA-Gift-Box

You likely know this already, but the earlier you order the better. Lots of supply chain issues and lots of delays from the big shipping companies. So get your orders in a.s.a.p.  Give us a call and we can brainstorm and come up with a gift for your employees. We have so many more ideas and items than we can really show on our website. The possibilities are almost endless. I will share more of our custom items below to give you some inspiration. Call or text me at 408-504-3706
