Just a little look for you at an Easter gift basket project that we are working on! This one is for an orthodontist’s office to gift their referral sources. We have several similar projects going out to San Jose and Bay Area businesses this week!
Valentine’s Day can be tricky! You may feel a little pressure to get the perfect gift for the one you love, but that can be challenging, especially if you’ve been together for a number of years.
There is always the traditional gifts of flowers, chocolate and jewelry. These can all be great gifts, but you just want to be careful that you don’t always give the same gift, which can be seen as unimaginative.
I’ve learned a lot about Chinese New Year from our clients over the years. It is a very important holiday for those that celebrate. It is a time filled with gathering with family & friends, firecrackers, parades, festivals, and giving gifts. While the gift of money in red envelopes is very popular, we have created many gift baskets for the holiday. There is a lot of symbolism for this cultural holiday period, so it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Red and gold are considered auspicious colors and very appropriate colors to use for decorations. Black, white & blue should be avoided because they are associated with death. Also, it is great to include touches that represent the year’s zodiac animal. For instance, 2017 is the year of the rooster, so we would print the year & rooster on the gift’s ribbon. And, we often include sweets such as cookies & candies, as well as fruits like tangerines, as they are considered appropriate traditional gifts for the new year. Those are the basic guidelines for gift giving that will assure that you are giving a gift that will be well received. January 28th begins Chinese New Year, so it’s time to consider how you will celebrate! Need help with your gifts, we’re here to help! Visit our website.

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are over and we’re already almost week into 2017!
I
recently got a call from a new corporate client. They found us on Yelp, which is exciting…always good to be found! Anyhow, I was reviewing her order before delivery to make sure that we hit all her requests, and it hit me how special this gift was. And, also, I felt so proud that we could accommodate.
Here were her requests:
Independence Day is right around the corner!
Makes me think, what would I like independence from!
For me, I think I’d choose house cleaning & accounting work! HA! What would you like freedom from?
Fathers day is coming up, June 19th! You definitely want to remember the special fathers in your life. And, we know dads can be very difficult to shop for. If you’re stumped, we recommend using one of their interests, hobbies, favorite things to help guide your shopping. It’s and fun and easy way to personalize a gift. And, personalized gifts always seem thoughtful, since you really thought about what they like! Do they love a certain hockey team (ie; San Jose Sharks) or maybe it’s a basketball team (ie; Golden State Warriors, of course)? Do they love to garden or build things? Are they a chocoholic? You get the idea! So, if you’re still stumped, give us a call at 408.504.3703, we’re happy to consult with you. Or, take a look at our website for ideas!
Have you ever? We have an unbelievable situation going on with our local sports teams!
Both the San Jose Sharks and the Golden State Warriors are in the finals. We are so lucky to be living the dream!
We’ve been asked to make a number of gifts for fans, and it’s so fun! We’re filling the gifts with licensed products like mugs, magnets, beanies, beads, etc, etc. Game snacks and team colors round them out! We’ve even had a couple of very special deliveries.
Don't see something you like? Then let us create a gift basket custom order just for you! You can even add personalized and/or branding items!
