Check Out These Customer Appreciation Gifts | Ways To Thank Your Customers

Written by Shawn on November 21, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

We created custom thank you gifts for Alcosta Capital Management group for the second holiday season in a row a couple of weeks ago. We love working with Nichole & Erick. They are very organized and get started early each year. Check out our FINAL products (they had two versions) and then below, check out the raw goods and how we set up our assembly lines for our large corporate gifts. (Some buy 20 and then some buy 120. We are here to help you, no matter the size of your purchase.)

Out client is Alcosta Capital and we are so grateful to them for their business and for allowing us to share these pics of the process for creating their special client thank you gifts.

Check out our process of creating an assembly line for our large corporate clients.

More Final Product Pics: Client-appreciation-gifts

This is how it all starts! First, we gather all of the various parts for our assembly line. (Well, we clean off an area first, if we are being really honest.)

In the case of this client, we had two varieties to create. So, we do have to keep it straight what goes where.

Client-Appreciation-Gifts

In this pic, you can see a little sneak peek of our beehive and our inventory we keep on hand.

This is another example of how we set up our assembly lines for our specific clients who have us create corporate thank you gifts for their clients.

Our specialty is corporate gifts, but we also adore customizing gifts for your family, clients, and employees. Reach out if we can help you with your corporate or other giftings. We LOVE shipping LOVE for you. Call me at 408-504-3703 or you can email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com for a quote. Just send me a little about your goal and who your gifts are for, your budget and we can go from there.

Luxury truffles, tapenades, cheese sticks, cocktail mixer, caramels, and so much more! Working alone in the hive – so no mask. Just me alone working on the weekend. But, we had lots of help yesterday! This is our super busy season and we will probably work every day until Christmas. We just love this season and we love creating gifts for our friends, family, clients, and our corporate clients, too. As you can imagine, since we are in Silicon Valley, we work with a lot of high-tech companies on their client and employee gifts. All of our baskets are made with love in San Jose and we ship all over the U.S.

Creative Corporate Gifts

The cool thing about gift baskets is that because we have so much inventory, we can turn any basket into anything you like. We love making Creative Corporate Gifts for our clients using our Locally Sourced products, like those we use for our Bay Area local clients. You can check out this Bay Area Focused Gift Basket blog article here about some of our San Jose / California based products. Or, we can take pretty much any item we sell (or you provide) and make an extra creative corporate gift for your clients, partners, or your employees.

Employee Appreciation Gifts

You can also check out our Corporate Gratitude Blog and Employee Appreciation Gifts here. We have quite a few corporate clients who have us ship out their employee appreciation gifts. We also ship employee meeting gifts – especially for big corporate Zoom or WebEx calls. They give us their employee’s addresses after we coordinate the actual gift and then we ship them directly to their employees.

Corporate Gifts / Corporate Gifts that Includes Wine or Spirits

Want to provide your clients with a special bottle of wine as a Thank You Gift or want to send your team a special commemorative bottle of wine? We have ways to help you do that, too. We have a close friend in the wine business who has some fabulous wine with special holiday labels or she and her winery can also make you a case of wine with your department or corporate logo on it. Just give us and Betty lots of lead time, please. You can check out Betty’s Wine Musings here with all of her wonderful wine offerings/pairings that work great with our gift baskets, too. Perfect for corporate gifting or for your family holiday gift-giving.

New Hire Gifts

We work with lots of lots of famous Silicon Valley companies and manage their new hire gifts. and, in some cases, the company provides us with the outer boxes with their logo. They almost always supply us with their corporate s.w.a.g. and we often include some of our fun goodies or make coffee mugs/water bottles with your branding for you. We are custom basket experts and we have lots of ways to personalize and customize items for your custom corporate gift baskets.

Meet Our New Employee, Jessica.

Written by Shawn on October 28, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

Jessica-all-the-buzz-gifts We are gearing up for our super busy season and we have a fabulous new helper! Her name is Jessica and she is new, but already extremely helpful to have in the beehive with me. As you have read from our other blogs, we are a family-owned and run business – for over 16 years in San Jose.

Here is a blog with my adorable Dad you can check out. And, it turns out that Jessica is my Goddaughter and her Mom (Kim) is one of my best friends.

Jessica is a graduate of Pioneer High School here in San Jose and we “stole” her from her job at Lane Bryant! Sorry, L.B. She is officially a part of our hive here, now!

Jessica is still pretty new, but I can already see how creative she is and what a self-starter she is. She is reliable, always on time, and will be running the show in no time!

Jessica used to also be a cheerleader at Pioneer – but now she is cheering for All The Buzz! Jessica loves crafting, so this makes her a perfect fit for us. Nov. 4th is her birthday and she also loves a Starbucks “no whip, java chip frappucino.” HBD, Jessica. xoxo

So excited to have her on our team to get us through what is typically a very intense season holiday gift basket season, starting with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, New Year’s Eve, and then Valentine’s Day! (Plus, we do birthday gift baskets all year long!)

And, we can always help our corporate clients with your client gifts and your employee appreciation gifts. We specialize in custom gift baskets here in San Jose and can ship them all over the U.S. Jessica and I would love to help you with your custom gift basket needs.

Call me at 408-504-3706 or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com. We are here to help.

Happy Birthday Jessica

Ways We Can Include Wine or other Spirits with your Gift Basket

Written by Shawn on October 19, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

custom-gifts-san-jose We have some really fun ideas for you about how you can add a bottle of wine or a special bottle of tequila to your gifts for your friends and colleagues. We would love to help you with this kind of custom baskets for your company or for your family.

Our friend Betty Kaufman, the wine lady with Wine Tastings and More and her blog is Betty’s Wine Musings has a variety of options for you.

Betty is local here in the Bay Area. And, she hosts wine tastings and now, virtual wine tastings, plus she sells all kinds of delicious wine. Her winery does all kinds of fun things with a bottle of wine and can potentially include your logo, team mascot, department motto, or anything you can think of.

Here are all the fun ways you can work with Betty and her wine into your corporate or personal gift baskets.

Virtual Wine Tasting: You can package one with a basket and her wine. You can call or text Betty at 650-714-7009 and arrange or get more details.
Buy wine from Betty’s Wine Tastings and More and have her ship it to All The Buzz Gifts to have us wrap it with your gifts. Text or Call: 650-714-7009

wine-gifts

3. Betty’s company also has these cool Specialty wine labels that can be used for a variety of celebrations. They have a “Thank You,” “Congrats,” “Happy Birthday” and others. (Check the graphic below.) Get them ordered and shipped to All The Buzz Gifts on San Felipe Road or drop them off at the beehive.

4. Betty and her winery can also make custom (personalized) wine labels for your company, department, team, or employees. This option has a longer lead time and the earlier you get her your order, the sooner she gets them ordered. You send your artwork, photo or logo to Betty, and then she takes that and makes it into a wine label. (She recommends you order a case to offset the price for the customization.) Then, either you can drop them off at All The Buzz Gifts, they can ship them to our beehive or you can have them shipped to us so we can include in your gifts.

There are other services that can also deliver booze to our hive for us to include with your gifts. These will not be personalized like Betty’s wine, but if you wanted to send a Thank You gift to the people in your department, you could order our Thankful Gift and include a bottle of vodka from Saucye.com or Shipt.com and just have it shipped to us, so we can include it with your basket. Or, you can have the booze shipped directly to recipient and have them match out gift,and your booze gift matched up when they both arrive at the recipient’s office or home.

We LOVE to customize and personalize your gifts. We also love brainstorming and spitballing cool custom gift basket ideas for you. Feel free to email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com or give me a call at 408-504-3703. We can come up with some fun ideas and I can even prepare a quote for you and send it over for your approval.

Our office is in San Jose at 4605 San Felipe Road, SJ, CA 95135. You are also always welcome to come to our workshop (by appointment) to pick up your orders to save on shipping. But, we do ship all over the U.S. We look forward to working with you soon.

Corporate Gratitude Gifts | Employee Appreciation Gifts from All The Buzz

Gratitude Gifts for Corporations

We had so much fun creating this Gratitude Gift for our corporate client Annual Reviews in Palo Alto. Like us, they are a Bay Area company and we love working with them! (We have a little insider friend there, too. Thank you, Lu!)

Their company had a virtual Employee Appreciation online, so we shipped these to each of the employees individually. We put in a note into the gift box filled with goodies and asked them not to open it until they could all open them together, virtually. So, when the time came at 10:30 they opened them all together and raised a toast to each other.

We had all kinds of goodies in the gift box, including stemless champagne glasses with their company logo. We added some sparkling apple cider for them to sip and toast with. We also included some yummy tapenade, crackers, Mediterranean dried apricots, chocolate chip cookies, caramels, almonds, and other delicious snacks.

When is the last time you worked for a boss that made sure you know you were appreciated? This seems like a great place to work. Gratitude sure goes a long way towards employee goodwill and great employee morale.

We Can Make Custom Gifts for Your Company or Team

If we can do a custom gift for your team, your department, or your company, please call me at 408-504-3703 or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com and we can begin brainstorming for the perfect gift for your project.

Be sure to check out the picture of their CEO at the bottom of this article. Isn’t he adorable?

We love making gifts for corporate clients or regular ol’ people! If you work in H.R. or Marketing, feel free to reach out to me for a custom quote for your custom baskets or gifts. We can handle pretty much any occasion and can customize our gifts in hundreds of ways.

Retirement and New Hire Gifts for our Corporate Client

Written by Shawn on August 31, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

Retirement Gift Basket

We are proud to partner with @iSolvedHCM in their applicant tracking and onboarding process to grow their team. #WinAsOne

IG: @isolved.hcm
FB: @isolved

Aren’t these gorgeous? We do hundreds and hundreds of custom gift baskets each year.

We worked together with our client iSolved and help them create their retirement gifts and their new hire gifts.

You can see the retirement gift basket is actually in a blue tin (their business colors) with their logo on it with our custom vinyl letters. We also use their colors and logo/name on their custom printed ribbon for each basket. (Also filled with lots of other s.w.a.g. and delicious snacks, too.)

But, we do way more new hire gifts for iSolved! Below is an example of one of their gifts they have us put together for them.

New Hire Gift Baskets

In case you are wondering, this is from iSolved’s website:

New-hire-iSolved “Comprehensive, completely scalable HCM software that delivers a better work-life and transforms your company, while managing all your workforce management processes — payroll, HR, time, and benefits.”

In the case of these new hire/onboarding gifts, we collaborated with iSolved’s marketing team to create a very custom branded box.

These boxes have limitless possibilities and we love providing that next-level gift presentation, but I digress.

iSolved provides us with their logo water bottle, lanyard, and journal. We take those items and create an eye-catching package with a personalized card, company colored materials, and an imprinted logo ribbon to wrap it all up.

They let us know when they have a new hire and we put together their gift and ship it off to the lucky new employee!

We would love to help your company or your family create a custom gift basket. We are in San Jose, but we ship all over the U.S. And, if you are local and need a gift basket in San Jose, you can save on shipping and pick up your order at our workshop on San Felipe Road by appointment. Text or call us at 408-504-3703. You can also email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com so we can brainstorm over email or call me and let’s plan your special basket soon.

Get Well Soon Gift Baskets

Written by Shawn on August 24, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

work-from-home-gifts Back to school season during pandemic right before flu season kicks off is not a recipe for fun, that is for sure. But, we are here to help comfort anyone in your circle that needs it. We got you. But, maybe all of this mask-wearing will keep the flu at bay this season. We have noticed fewer colds and other viruses and stuff in our circles. Maybe this will be a thing from now on. I would love that! No more winter or summer colds, right?

But, that is not reality. We know a few of us will get colds or flu this coming fall and winter and we would love to help. (And, fortunately, most kids in our area are not actually going to school this semester. They are using ZOOM for their lessons.)

Our “Well Wishes” Get Well Soon Gift Basket

Gift boxes includes all kinds of things to cheer someone who’s under the weather including soup mix, crackers, tea, honey, almonds, cookies, and a giant chocolate krispy aspirin. The honey is local honey for Mike & Niki’s Honey which is collected from hives here in San Jose.

This is one of our oldies. It is a classic and best seller in this category. We can almost always get this one shipped out pretty quickly, too. Same day can be tough, but if you get the order in my 11 a.m. Pacific, we can sometimes get it right now.

$40 plus shipping and you can include some text for a hand-written note by us with your sentiment inside.

Cold and Flu Season Get Well Gift Basket

Cold-flu-gift-baskets Cold and Flu Basket pretty much says it all. $70 plus shipping

This thoughtful gift is for that special someone suffering from any nasal or respiratory ailment. Includes sipping broth in lidded mason mug, honey, tea, biscotti, and a candy aspirin.

And, for real relief, your sicky will love the locally made sinus relief shower tabs and Breathe Free chest rub. They are all-natural, small-batch relief at its best.

If you would like to personalize it, we can include a custom ribbon with the “patients” name or a loving message on the ribbon. (Small $5 upcharge.) We also have other goodies you can add to this or any of our baskets.

Get-Well-Baskets-Smiley-Face-Mug Large latte mug is filled with coffee (or specify tea or cocoa), cookies, nuts, candy, and smiley chocolate pop!

$25 plus shipping. This one makes a great gift for an entire department or team, too. Lots of ways to use this SMILEY gift. (Again, we can also put custom ribbon with logos or some sentiment you come up with.)

If you are local, you can always pick up your baskets at our workshop in San Jose on San Felipe Road, but you do need an appointment and request that you text us to confirm before you drive all the way out to pick up. You can always call or text me at 408-504-3703.

Cancer Patient Chemo Care Baskets

We even have an extra special gift basket for your friend or loved one who may be experiencing chemotherapy for their cancer.

We made it with them in mind with some goodies that may help them ease some of their nausea and other malaise from the stress and the chemical cocktail.

Know someone braving chemotherapy or cancer treatments? We hope not, but we want to try to help if we can bring them a touch of comfort.

They will surely appreciate your thoughtful gift of comfort-including a fun mug, chicken soup, mints, tea & honey, lotion, queasy drops, warm beanie or socks, adult coloring book, and much more. Customizable too! Magnet on the tin will vary. $150 with free shipping.

Again, we can also personalize the basket with a bow with their name on the ribbon or a loving sentiment from you. (We have a custom ribbon printer, so most any message is possible.)

If you want something more customized for your friend or loved one, call me or email me and we can create something specific and personal. We do specialize in custom gift baskets here in Sa Jose – they are our bread and butter. We have been making custom corporate gifts and custom gifts for consumers since 2004. My email is Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com or call me at 408-504-3703. I would love to brainstorm with you.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to get your creative juices flowing! You can also read all about what our past clients have to say about our gift baskets on YELP or Google, too.

I should also mention we do have a Pandemic Gift Basket – because it is just that kind of year!

Stay health. Mask up and we will all get through this together.
