January 20, 2010

I can't believe we're 3 weeks into the New Year already! January is supposed to be my slow month, but it's not turning out that way (and I'm thankful!)

A number of hotel hospitality gifts have been delivered so far this year, as well as "Get Well" and "Sympathy" gift baskets. One client will be picking up 2 gift baskets that will be given to her new clients. The same lady also ordered about 40 of my little packages containing 2 white chocolate aspirin (she's in the health care industry, so it's a natural tie-in). Yet another company orders "Welcome Aboard" gift baskets for their new hires, and I have 5 of those ready to ship today. (Yes! Somebody is hiring! Although they are in South Bend, IN.) Then, there is also an order on the books for 30 baskets due February 3. Adding to my workload is the planning for Valentines and late-Winter baskets. I need to prepare a few ideas for pictures so that I can update the website, make flyers and postcards. Yee gads, I just remembered: It's also time to do another of my monthly e-mail newsletters! Wow!

If you are not already receiving my monthly e-mail newsletter -- and you would like to -- just send me a quick e-mail to: gifts@giftbasketclassics.com, and I will add you to my list.

This Saturday, I will be exhibiting at the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center. The event is called "Winter Delights: a festival of wine, food and jazz". Here's the link if you'd like to check it out, and I hope to see you there! It should be a great time!
