How About a Zoom Date? New Zoom Happy Hour Ideas

Written by Shawn on July 17, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

What if you ordered a Mini Happy Hour or a Mini Vino Hour for each of you and then set up your zoom date and enjoy these two goodies together.

New Zoom Date Ideas

Are your courting someone special and looking for a fun way to have a fun and creative date via Zoom or Facetime? We have this fun idea that you send your date something like our Mini Happy Hour (with the lime bow) and the Mini Vino Hour (beige bow below) and you both get your mocktail or cocktail ready and open the rest of the gift together.

That sounds fun, right?

Corporate Birthday Gifts for Your Employees

Written by Shawn on July 12, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

We do a lot of corporate gifting and one of our favorite programs is when our clients want us to ship their employees’ birthday presents. We also do Birthday or Anniversary Gifts for Your Employees.

Since 2004 we have had all kinds of fun requests! Some companies choose a theme for the entire year. Other companies send a more personalized gift for their employee to arrive at the employee’s home the week of the employee’s birthday.

We also have a New Hire/Onboarding Gift Program.

Birthday Basket Program for Employers

We even have some that do one big huge birthday MONTH gift basket to the entire company for all of that month’s birthday celebrants. When are only doing the “12 per year” for a corporate client, we end up going with a theme for each month. (With HR’s approval, of course.)

Most of our corporate customers, send us a spreadsheet at the beginning of the year so we can do some planning and forecasting. Then the HR or other department follows up with us at the beginning of each month to confirm the recipient’s name and current address.

Then They Leave the Rest Up To Us!

Once the company gives us the budget for the basket, we get started. Of course, we always have to remember the shipping charges. Most of our baskets ship for about $16 per boxed-up gift basket. We like to use USPS for home deliveries when we can. Occasionally it is more affordable to use UPS. We do ship all over the U.S. and the Bay Area, of course. If the person’s home address is within 10 miles of our beehive/workshop on San Felipe Road in San Jose, we can also do a personal delivery.

We can also do one or two specific baskets for all of the recipients. Typically, that requires some consulting and a short phone or Zoom meeting at the beginning of the new year to get the “standard” basket designed and then we create that basket for that company each time one of their employees has a birthday. Some companies prefer that their employees all get the same gift all year long so no one feels slighted or favored. As you can probably tell, we can work your own company’s birthday program any way it works for your business. We are here to make the task easy and convenient for your company.

We are Custom Corporate Gift Basket Experts at All The Buzz!

3 Ways To Thank and Comfort Essential Workers

Gifts for Nurses and Hospital Staff | A New Heart and a New Liver

Written by Shawn on July 4, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

Two of our clients bought gifts for the team that helped their family members with a new heart and a new liver!

Both of these fabulous ladies send thank you gifts to the team of people that helped their respective partners.

Thank You to the team that helped her boyfriend get a brand new heart and another one bought some gifts for the team that helped her husband with his liver transplant! Isn’t that amazing? I still cannot even imagine what getting a heart transplant is like – for that matter – I cannot imagine any kind of organ transplant. So complicated.

Happy Independence Day 2020 | Gift Baskets in San Jose

Written by Shawn on July 3, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

This one is for the history books, right? Independence day while Sheltering In Place. Two worlds collide!

There is not going to be a lot of celebrating this year is our guess, but maybe some more low-key 4th of July parties with your smaller inner circle this year.

We made a few special 4th of July gifts this year for you and we wish you a very Happy 4th of July! If we can ever help you make a basket for your special occasion, a special birthday or a custom gift for your corporate event, convention, or for morale boosts for your employees, reach out. My work cell is 408-504-3703 or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com. We love to do custom gift baskets for your special projects.

I hope our Independence Day Gifts inspire some fun for your 4th of July Celebration. More Summer Gifts here!

Birthday Gifts: Unique Birthday Present Ideas

Written by Shawn on June 26, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

Birthday-gifts-for-friends Did you know there are more birthdays in September than any other month? Fascinating article about September birthdays from Business Insider:

More babies are born in early September because couples have an easier time conceiving around Christmas time. A recent study found that the winter season holds biological perks for pregnancy. The tendency to “hook up” during the holidays also likely explains the peak in wintertime conceptions.

We have some great ideas for your friends and family.

Coffee or Tea Lover in Your Friends Group? We have this great leatherette gift basket filled with honey, coffee, tea, pretzels, chocolate spoons, granola, pocket latte, and other goodies. Buy Here : $90
Is one of your friends focused on their health? How about our Healthy Options gift basket for $90? Market basket is filled with healthier treat options including salmon, crisps, tapenade, yogurt pretzels, veggie chips, fruit chips, and a variety of nuts, seed & nut bars. Personalize plaque or ribbon for a small charge. More info to buy it here. Buy Here : $90
Is your bestie or sister about to turn 50 or 60 or having some other kind of special birthday? What if you emailed all of her favorite people and asked them for a photo and ask them to send it to you so you can make a collage and set up a Zoom of a Facebook Live Surprise Party for their special birthday?
Stop by the liquor store (they are still essential, after all) and buy a great bottle of tequila, some limes, salt, and some scratchers and drop it off on your besties porch. Maybe they will share the winnings with you!
What is your friend’s favorite color? We can customize a basket together for you based on their favorite color, their favorite sports team, or their favorite hobby. We have a way to make a custom ribbon and have hundreds of colors. ($5 fee.) We can also personalize a gift like this one we did for a new Dad with his baby’s name on it with a vinyl cling. Check out the basket for the Dad of baby “Wyatt.” ($10 fee).

Custom-gift-basket-san-jose

6. You can always make a hand-made custom gift certificate for your friend or family member. It is very difficult to get your car washed and your yard mowed during this Shelper In Place. It is also tricky to get your house cleaned – and what a great gift. You can offer to cook a meal or clean the cupboard for a friend as a very personalized homemade gift card. Of course, wear your masks and stay 6 to 10′ away from your friends so everyone stays healthy.

7. Bake your special person a homemade cake, cookies, or a lasagna! Everyone loves home-cooked goodies.

3 Ways To Thank and Comfort Essential Workers

Check Out These Beauties We Personalized for a Client

Does your team need a thank you or a morale boost? Maybe you want to reward your team with a custom gift like these? We can make a basket specifically for you and exactly how you want them.

These are fully custom for a specific workgroup. There were about 14 of the team members we personalized these gifts for.

Their employer gave them “surprise” gifts from us. We made them specifically the way they designed them. Lots of input from their manager to make them extra special. We used their logo and their purple color – purple! We used our faux leather-bound tray and we put a custom label on the side of it to make it extra personal.

These were instead of the usual fancy year-end dinner. It was for a special teacher’s board this year, thanks to a certain virus! We hope they like all the customizing we added to really personalize!

#utsc #businessgftssanjose #sanjosegiftbaskets #santaclaragiftsource #corporategifts

You can see we make our baskets very uniform so everyone feels like we treated them with equal care and precision. We always want to make all of our clients feel extra special and pampered. When we make baskets, we have several people in the chain to make extra happy – the buyer and the receive.

We have made hundreds of personalized and custom gifts and gift baskets over the past 16 years. We have made gifts for property managers, nurses, medical departments, boutiques, wedding parties, car dealership employees, medical clinics full of employees, hotels, conventions, small independent businesses, realtors, and spas. You name it, we have made them. We can make them big or small and we welcome all budgets.

Gifts to Boost Employee Morale

Written by Shawn on May 30, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog.

Boost Employee Morale Gifts

Some projects keep us smiling all day! Just love the idea that these are going to a group working at home as an appreciation/ morale booster! I hope it cheers them!

So many of us are working from home these days. These were ordered to boost the morale for a department that used to work together in the same office, but how they are all sheltering in place and working from home.

These honeybee gifts were created for one of our local Real Estate Agents and she was gifting them to her agents and staff.

bee work from home gifts

We love doing GROUP gifts for departments. We have lots of leasing companies, realtors, insurance agents, hospitals, clinics that all order 10 to 100 items for their special employee morale projects.

Call us if you would like a quote on a bulk or custom gift or custom gift basket for your project.

Call me at 408-504-3703

Lift their spirits and recharge productivity. Remote leaders must get a little more creative about how to reward their distributed teams.

This is a whole new world for all of us, including your employees. We are just over 78 days into this quarantine and we are all feeling a little sluggish, distracted, and overwhelmed.

Small gifts can do wonders in making your staff feel appreciated and motivated. We’re careful in creating gifts that are practical and affordable — this way you won’t have to worry about breaking your wallet (or employee-morale budget) if you were to buy in bulk for the whole team or the entire department. We even have a Work From Home Survival Kit gift here for $20 to $50.

We can also customize gifts per employee or per department. We can add a custom printed ribbon with your corporate logo or with your employee’s name. That custom ribbon upgrade is about $5 per. And, we have a huge variety of colors and foil. The options are practically endless.

Would you like something special and unique for your team? Call or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com or Tel: 408-504-3703 and I can create something unique just for you or your company!

Is your team essential? This is a water thermos we made for nurses, but we can customize these for your team, too.

Buy Mad Dad Skills Gift Here $70 (Plus Shipping)

Did you know we have been making Dads (and Moms) feel loved for over 16 years? I opened All The Buzz in 2004! That is a lot of gift-giving. We just adore making our clients and their friends and family smile ear to ear. You can read our YELP and GOOGLE reviews to see what our clients have to say about our baskets and me.

We are a family-owned business in San Jose. My own Dad is often at our workshop and helping out with production when we get super busy! Just recently he even reminded me of how important it is to stay up with all of the new trends in the gift basket industry.

He said, “you gotta keep an eye out for what people like, what’s on-trend, and make sure you are offering what they like.”

How cute is that? My Dad has always been an instrumental part of my business and I am eternally grateful to him for that. I am even going to sneak in a little picture of my handsome Dad at the bottom of this blog! I love him with all of my heart. Not sure how he will feel about me including a photo of him in a blog about a Father’s Day present, but hopefully he is honored.
