4th Quarter Gifting

As the leaves are changing colors and the weather starts getting colder, it's time to begin thinking about your end of the year gift-giving. We've noticed a recent trend that some of our clients are getting an earlier start on the season by sending baskets for the Thanksgiving holiday. Why not get a leg up on the competition and kick things off in October?


Get Ready for the Big Game


Here in Ohio, we bleed Scarlet & Gray, and chances are your customer does too! If so, score some big points by sending a Buckeye-themed basket before the next big game. The Buckeye Bucket (pictured above) is one of our best-selling options. However, we are able to customize it to better suit your needs.



A Spooky Good Idea!

Here's a great trick: treat your customers with a scary good basket filled with Halloween favorites. The Monster Bash-ket (pictured above) is perfect for a larger group, with something for everyone. We also have a fun-sized option, the Trick or Treat Tin (pictured below), which is perfect for an individual or smaller group.

Cube Life



In an effort to maximize efficiency of  resources, the use of office cubicles has become commonplace in large corporations. In his article, "Learn How to Cope with Life Inside a Small Cubicle," Michael Roberts talks about tools for surviving this semi-private office enclosure.

While his tips are helpful, we feel that one important element was missed, office knick-knacks!

Desktop toys and gadgets have been proven to spark creativity and alleviate stress. Help make your cubicle the one everyone wants to visit.  It may even help you get the inside track for that corner office. 

We have a variety of fun items such as "The Cubes - Joe & Friends" that can be purchased individually or added to a customized basket for a friend or co-worker. We also have a few pre-set arrangements, such as  "The Office Basket"and "The Office Jokester," that can be ordered on the fly.

Baskets by Bonnie puts the "Fun" into "Functional" to make the common workspace survivable.
