A Gift Basket for Dad
June 17 will bring in another day to celebrate fathers this year! Father's Day is a day designed for expressing appreciation, respect, and love for the man who raised you. Father’s Day should be about your father, so don’t waste time agonizing over the right gift. This year, give the man who gives you so much a basket full of gifts for him to enjoy.
Gift baskets are the perfect Father’s Day gift and maybe the least expected. Isn’t that what everyone searches for – something different for Father's Day? What does your dad enjoy? What are his hobbies? What is something he has never experienced before? There is a Father's Day gift basket to answer each of these questions. Whether he is a connoisseur of fine coffees or spends his time fishing – there is a basket for him. What about the man who likes to grill or the man who just appreciates a good laugh? No matter your father’s personality or preferences, there is a gift basket sure to make him smile.
And for those who will not have the opportunity to see their fathers on Father's Day, why not send him a gift basket? Who says only cards can be mailed for Father’s Day? What a surprise it will be to walk to the mailbox expecting bills, only to find an entire basket filled with his favorite things. Gift baskets provide an easy and meaningful way to let your dad know that you are thinking about him even when you cannot be with him.
A father loves his child regardless of whether or not he receives a gift on Father’s Day. A father will not be disappointed with a gift he receives from his child. Because this is true, it seems even more important to present him with a special Father's Day gift that he will appreciate and use.
So this Father’s Day give your dad a gift that he is not expecting, a gift that will make him smile, a gift that will show him your appreciation. Instead of another tie to add to his collection, another wallet or another coffee mug to set on the shelf, show your father that you put thought into this gift. Give him the gift that shows you know the person your father truly is and that you appreciate who he is. Give him a gift basket for Father’s Day.

For A Child, Father's Day I'sn't About Giving Dad A Gift
And remember, the greatest gift that we give our children is the actual expression of our love.
It isn't enough to feel love for them inside ourselves: we need to express that love. Take a moment each day and give your child the kind of hug that can leave no doubt that you treasure their presence in your life.
For a child, Father's day isn't really about giving Dad a gift. Father's Day is about recognizing the gift of caring that fathers express. Gifts such as putting food on the table, teaching their child to ride a bike, cheering them on at a soccer game, smiling at a graduation, giving their daughter's hand in marriage, giggling with a grandchild, and most importantly, acting as a channel for God's love to flow through them into the lives of their children.

Whether it is a Christmas gift for the person who is impossible to shop for or a birthday present for the aunt who returns everything you get her, a gift basket is a gift that is guaranteed to fit perfectly, guaranteed and please and appropriate for all ages, interests, and genders.
10 great reasons why a gift basket is the perfect
choice for giving or any time of year.
. Gift baskets are infinitely customizable. No matter what your recipient loves to do (or eat), you can create a gift basket to fit their tastes and preferences.

Saying "Thank You!" Is More Than Good Manners
No matter what kind of business you have, you reach a point where you need to thank a customer, client, or visitor. Be it for a purchase, a sign-up or a referral.
I have several years of experience in non-profit work, which included volunteer management. The rule of thumb here is you thank each volunteer 7 times for one action. No, you don't say 'thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.'
You ought to thank them at various 'natural points': at the time they express interest in volunteering, at the time they show up to work and when they leave.
But then you should also thank them in other ways. Often a thank you letter, printing their name (or group name) in a brochure or event flyer, and at the year end, offer a small thank you recognition, such as a certificate or an item with the organization's name on it.
These little things make a person feel appreciated *and* keep them connected to your organization.
Getting & training volunteers is an expensive part of operating a non-profit organization, so keeping them is much better in the long run. And it is no different in businesses that you run for profit. Everyone talks about how much cheaper it is to retain customers than it is to go out & attract new ones. So what are you doing to thank your customers, your clients?
Here is a short list of both 'natural points' or places to say thank you on your website as well as other ways to surprise them:
Subscriber sign-ups
When a surfer joins your email list, newsletter etc., they have shown interest in your company. They are pre-qualified. After they hit submit, send them to a Thank You Page, where there is an incredible offer to thank them for signing up. (Be sure to include a link back to your home page, so even if they decline the offer, they can still find you!)
Those who buy items
Include with the order a 'bounce back' coupon with a special thank you discount or free item with their next purchase.
Gift Ideas For Clients
Consider purchasing your clients gift subscriptions to their favorite professional magazines as thanks for their business. Each issue, they'll be reminded of you.
Gift Ideas For Everyone
Keep a list of all clients/customers and do a yearly mailing. Pick a date to thank everyone for their support. I personally think this should not be Holiday theme one, as 'everyone' does that, and you are one of how many companies? But a solo one on say your company's anniversary, or some other unique date means you will not have to compete for their attention!
Who: Other times to say 'Thank You'
Referrals Anyone who sends business your way deserves recognition.
When you are late on shipping or providing a service - not just an emailed apology or explanation 'at the time' to announce it, but a follow up with sincerity!
Service providers, vendors, those you network with - thank them for all they do to assist you and remember, they are people with purchasing power themselves!
How: What stands out
Send a personal, handwritten Thank You Note. People who send personal notes are thought of as gracious, of having excellent manners, and since so few people do it, you'll appear as a clear cut above the rest!
Sometimes, we try to be so creative, so original, we overlook the simple kindnesses. Classics do work. Who doesn't like to be thanked?!

The Whole Point of Giving & Receiving
Gift Giving & Receiving: Why?
It’s usually around the holidays when people think a lot about gifts and when you’re blessed enough to give someone less fortunate a gift they need or desperately want it fills our hearts with a warm sense of all around goodness.
The receiver in these cases feels as though they have been blessed and that’s the best kind of gift giving and receiving, unfortunately, there are other kinds … sometimes a ‘gift’ just ain’t a ‘gift’. Before you give or receive, make sure it’s for the right reason!
First off it’s a good idea to cover the facts of gift giving and below we’ve outlined the most important to start out with.
Gift Giving Facts:
- There are no laws (at least in the U.S.) that force anyone to give a gift; if you don’t want to give---don’t!
Gift giving has ill effects too! When you give someone a gift when you really don’t want to give, somehow the person receiving the gift almost always finds out that you didn’t want to give and that can cause some trouble.
- Even though there are no laws … there are guidelines/rules to follow.
If you’ve been married for twenty years and you’re in search of the perfect anniversary present but you feel that your spouse simply has everything they could possibly dream of … don’t be too confident! One man who gave his wife a new stove for their anniversary is still missing. When everyone showed up for the party they were all impressed with the food yet Mr. Jenkins has yet to be found. Some believe that Mr. Jenkins is hiding in the sewer system.
- There is a time and a place for every kind of gift.
I saw this personally and it was not good. Someone who attended a baby shower gave the expecting parents some condoms. Although the gift of choice was intended as a joke, the expecting mother didn’t take too kindly to the thoughtful gesture and it’s been rumored that in a bout of revenge she covered this gift givers car in pure cow manure. All in all, it caused a big stink.
Gift Receiving Facts:
One of the most memorable gifts from history just happens to be the Trojan horse and if you remember the story then you’ll know just some of what can happen when you accept a gift … enough said.
The Basis of Gift Giving & Receiving:
Usually, gift giving and receiving isn’t so tricky, especially when the thought comes from the heart … the way that it should. Gift giving wasn’t invented from an idea to “brown nose” a person’s way up the corporate ladder, to hurt someone’s feelings or to place incriminating evidence in a person’s home.
Gift giving and receiving marks a celebration. Whether it’s a wedding, a holiday, a thank you gift, an engagement, a birthday, an achievement, get well wishes, a graduation, a new home, a new life it’s always best to give what you want that special person to have from you and by following that rule, those receiving will likely never forget the gesture.
The birth of Jesus Christ was celebrated with many gifts and no one complained, no one gave a gift because they felt pressured; it was simply heartfelt giving. And that’s the basic rule of thumb you should follow when giving or receiving a gift.
The Point of Gift Giving & Receiving:
Some people make gift giving harder than it really is by searching high and low for a gift that a special person will appreciate. The simple fact of the matter is the receiver will appreciate the gift simply because they’ve been acknowledged and they know that someone cares. All in all, remember that it is not the gift but the thought that truly, truly matters.

Being a mother is the toughest job on earth. The hours are dreadful, there are no fringe benefits, there are no days off, and there is no paycheck. If that isn’t enough to intimidate any job applicant, the requirements for the position also includes the daunting task of raising caring, psychologically balanced and morally upstanding members of society.
Mother’s Day is a day that honors remarkable women and their influence on motherhood throughout the world. Although this day marks an annual event, it is observed on different dates depending on the country.

Depending on what you plan on putting into the basket, gift baskets are easy to assemble. A personalized gift basket is truly a labor of love and more distinctive than commercially made baskets.

You have many options to choose from including size, shape, and color and they come with or without handles. You can make the final result look stunning with a basket full of her favorite pleasures and finish it off by wrapping the basket in beautifully tinted or clear cellophane.

The Garden Basket:
With spring rolling in, the gardens are beginning to wake up again. One of the most distinctive baskets that you can create is a wheelbarrow chock full of items that every gardener is sure to love. It can include everything from tools, gloves, trimmers, pruners, plant seeds, plant food, knee pads, sun hat, apron, waterproof shoes, horticultural books, sundials, bird feeder, bird seed, garden figurines, wind chimes, birdbaths and a gift certificate for a local nursery. Wrap the whole wheelbarrow up with a big bow on top and leave it on the front steps for mom to discover on her special day. She will be thrilled by your thoughtfulness.
The Spa Basket:
What better way to spend a day than to receive a gift basket that is all about luxury and personal pampering. Treat your mom to everything that she needs to escape from the daily grind of work and family. Let her have a day to luxuriate with items such as scented soaps, foot pumices, massage creams, face and body exfoliants, hand and body lotions, luffa sponges, bath salts, face masks, shaving creams, scented oils, and candles. Top it off with a split of champagne from France and some gourmet chocolates. Add a gift certificate for her to have a relaxing massage with a local massage therapist. This basket idea is not only very popular but a well-deserved extravagance for the hard working woman that we call mom.
Mothers are the heart, soul, and backbone of the family and their love is unconditional. A personalized and plentiful gift basket is a great way of showing your mother how much she is cherished. It’s a memorable Mother's Day gift that she will appreciate and surely love.
Think your mom holds the earth, moon, and stars in her hands?
Mother’s Day is approaching, and you are wondering what on earth to get your Mom. She’s the woman who goes out and buys herself everything she wants and needs throughout the year and never leaves those around her much to choose from when special days like birthdays, Christmas or Mother’s Day approaches! While flowers, hanging baskets, and spa treatments are all nice gifts, sometimes you just want to give something different. Here are five unique and clever gifts that are sure to make your mom feel special and remember this Mother’s Day the rest of her life:
1.) Think your mom holds the earth, moon, and stars in her hands? Well, then why not name a star after her? While it won’t be officially recognized by NASA, you can adopt a star, name it a name of your choice and even choose which constellation the star is in if you wish. You adopt the star from the International Star Registry, you name it (after your mother in this case), and they send you a certificate displaying the name you chose and even a chart showing where the star is located in the heavens! Your mother will love it, and it’s relatively inexpensive.
2.) Is your mom crafty? Take her to the local self-glaze pottery shop. Most cities have pottery shops, and they have hundreds of pre-sculpted clay items to choose from. You can then paint what you choose with glaze, and then they fire your item for you. You can have fun just being creative and get a new coffee mug out of the deal as well! It can bring back some wonderful, nostalgic memories of sitting at the kitchen table together with your mother when you were little doing craft projects together!
3.) Does your mom have a soft heart for animals? Make a donation in her honor to a dog rescue. Most dog rescues rely entirely on private donations. These rescues not only receive animals from families who can no longer keep their pets but many of them make trips several times a month to look for dogs who are on “death row” at local kill shelters. They adopt these animals and, after socializing them if needed, work hard to place them with a loving family. All of your donations go directly to the care of these animals. You’ll feel good and save a life at the same time!
4.) Donate your time. This sounds simple, but in today’s hustle and bustle world, sometimes we don’t always have the time to lend ourselves to those around us. Does your mom volunteer somewhere? Go with her and help her during her volunteer time. Is she always asking you to go to church with her on Sunday mornings but that’s when you do your weekly grocery shopping? Do your shopping Saturday night and pick her up on Sunday morning for service. Many churches have a special service on Mother’s Day and imagine how pleased she would be to have you there! It could be as simple as going to the antique shops with her on Sunday afternoon and then to lunch at her favorite restaurant after. Sometimes simplicity is the best!
5.) The final and last idea is also simple, and it’s inexpensive, but it could be the best gift you’ve ever given to your mom. Purchase a memory book from the local craft store. This is a book that has blank pages in it for you to write in. Then sit down and do just that. Write down your favorite memories of her. Memories of your childhood, favorite Christmases, best vacations, from the time you were little until the present. Write down the times when you thought she looked particularly beautiful or the times that meant the most to you, times when she inspired you or when you drew on her strength. Include poems, photos, quotes…anything that reminds you of her. When she opens it, read one or two entries with her. It’s a gift that’s from the heart, one that will revive warm memories you can share. One she will treasure for the rest of her life.
It comes down to this, your mom is special. What better day than Mother’s Day to let her know that? Give her something that she never knew she wanted until you gave it to her! The gifts that will mean the most to her heart are the ones that came from yours. And those are the ones she’ll remember forever.
