Christmas is in full swing here at Michigan Travels / Gift Basket Classics! So far, we have completed 229 gift baskets and boxes. Still to do (so far) are 115 gifts. Today's "must do" list includes 17 Dump Truck gift baskets, 12 custom baskets (all 29 are to ship via UPS - whew!), and all the shipping labels from a previously completed order for 46 gift boxes. That's a total of 75 shipping labels, which is a project all its own.
Another client will be placing his annual Christmas "thank you for the business" order today. He usually averages about 10 gifts to be delivered locally, so I will try to finish his order today, as well.
I'm so very thankful for all of the business. While I do business year-round, the orders that come in in November and December are what provides enough income to survive the other ten months of the year.
It does mean some very long and difficult hours (physically). This week I'm averaging 14 hours per day, and most of that is spent standing in one spot! My back, legs, and feet are in pain ... but thank goodness for Ben Gay and Aleve .... two of my closest friends in the month of December!
More later .... obviously, I need to get to work! Thanks for reading!
