Tall Plumes Add Value . . . and Detailing WOW!
Your eyes will be wowed! This beautiful new design is just one of the styles shown in GBR Online’s new article: “Coming Into Focus .” What a difference the plume makes, transforming a great basket into an extraordinary gift presentation. The basket, featuring Godiva chocolates and Gaviña coffee also illustrates one of the primary changes in theme development over the past few years: brand gift baskets. Themes often feature the well-known brand of a focal point gift. Instead of a “Giving Thanks” theme, a designer may name the basket after the brands in it, like, “Giving Thanks Godiva Chocolate Basket”, or “Giving Thanks Gaviña Coffee Basket”.
Gift box, cellophane, ribbons, fabric and cello bags, and ribbon were supplied by Nashville Wraps; Giving Thanks book by Red Wheel; coffee by Gaviña.

Sharing a blessing with a gift doesn’t have to bust your budget. Shop smart, and buy off-season for amazing deals on containers, ribbons, florals, and other supplies! This beautiful basket was put together with less than $12 of merchandise, ribbon and florals. Inside the beautiful basket are: three boxes of yummy gourmet sweets, and a single serve pack of great coffee. (The foods are all fresh -- never purchased off-season!)
What makes this basket so beautiful are the copper florals -- purchased for only $1.25 at a local salvage store.

Hot off the production line are 5 new video downloads hosted by Debra Paulk, editor of Gift Basket Review Online Magazine. The newest additions feature styles and themes for the holidays, from fall to Christmas, with themes focused on saving money, stretching resources, and using inexpensive enhancements for better perceived value. In response to member request for quicker downloads, most of the videos are 2 to 5 minutes in length.
GBR editor and video host, Debra Paulk, says this set of videos addresses retailer concerns for presenting stylish gift designs, but on tighter budgets. “Early indications for the holidays are that consumers may opt to spend less on individual gifts,” says Paulk. To offset what could become a drop in revenues, retailers will want to adapt strategies for INCREASING PROFIT MARGINS. And that is exactly the focus of this new set of videos.”
Watch for the video release date, expected to go live by late July.
