Do you do same-day deliveries? Yes
under the following conditions...(a) the order is
placed by 10:00 AM and (b) the gift design can be
assembled on the premises. You will note that some
designs require a 3 day shipping time allowance. These
items are specialty items, produced by my affiliate
partners. To insure that you (or your recipient)
receives the freshest and the best, I arrange to have
them shipped directly from the
(bakery/orchard/manufacturer) to you (or your
recipient).
I may be able to offer an
alternative if your schedule can not accommodate the 3
day shipping allowance. Please
Ask (203/281-7910) or . I am an active participate
in a few networks of gift basket professionals -
globally. Often, I am able to refer your order to one
of my colleagues who is able to make a local delivery
in a timely manner. Please Ask
(203/281-7910) or
Additionally, I am an active participant in my local
Chamber of Commerce and have a working relationship
with many of the merchants in the Hamden/North

product that you would to have included in your gift
basket design. Please Ask

What types of gift baskets do you carry? Gourmet
Food Baskets, Bath & Beauty Baskets, Snack Food
Baskets are the basics. Each basket is designed with
enhancements to convey the sentiment that you wish to
express: Happy Birthday, Get Well, Congratulations,
Thanking of You, Sincere Condolences, Campus Care,
Thank You for the Referral, Thank You for Your
Hospitality, Holiday Greetings
If the gift basket is for an
individual, the enhancements will reflect the gender.
If the gift basket is for an office or a group of
people, the products will be added in multiples, so
that more than one person can sample the goodies. |
|
|
What do you put in your baskets? The best,
freshest and most unusual. I research trade magazines to
better understand the food trends of the day. The goal is to
create a memory in the mind of your recipient, and express
accurately the sentiment that you wish to convey. Most of
all, we want to create a gift that the recipient will enjoy,
so if that means common, grocery store items, I'm able to
accommodate the design demand. While I don't offer
customized baskets as the mainstream of my business, I am
more than willing to work with you to customize one of my
standard designs as much as possible. If personal shopping
is involved, I'm amenable to discuss the possibility. |
|
|
What do your baskets cost? With each
opportunity to order, the price is stated. You will
notice that some items have a range of prices. Almost
any design (that I assemble on prem.) can be adjusted
to meet your budgeted amount. We adjust by adding or
deleting product, choosing from a variety of
containers and through any other creative way of
producing an attractive gift basket at an adjusted
price. Just to clarify, the unique orders that are
drop shipped for the bakery/orchard/manufacturer do
not allow me many options for price
adjustment. Even that policy has some
flexibility when we apply volume discounts where available. Just
Ask (203/281-7910) or |
|
|
Can you ship a basket to Romania? Yes,
however it would be more cost effective if I refer the
order to someone who can deliver in Romania without
incurring overseas shipping charges. Additionally, I
have contacts in Europe, Puerto Rica, Canada and in
every state in the US. |
|
|
Could I pay by check?
Yes - I accept payment by credit card
(MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover), Check,
Paypal, Money Order sent by Postal Mail. In a few
select cases, I will bill 30 days. If this is of
interest to you, please Ask,
(203/281-7910) or
and we can set up a contract
arrangement which will require having a credit card on
file. |

officially kicks off the Christmas gift buying season,
and online retailers offer low prices and promotions.
