Green Gifts That are Eco Friendly

Send and share a gift of green eco friendly goodies. Let’s mull over ways to be green for the holiday this season. Everyone is making an effort to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it beneficial for the economy but it is also good for the pocket book. In the year of economic downturn and this eco friendly mind set let’s consider various ways to be green and save money.

Buy a live tree or even a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be plant and enjoyed for years. If you don’t have room for planting one then get an artificial one you can use over and over again.

If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if youhave the funds . If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No use lighting up the darkness when no one is out to enjoy them.

Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate packages with old ribbon and sparkles. You can also do what we have done for years, and wrap your gifts in fabric bags that can used year after year. The disadvantage of these bags is that they are easy to open so someone could peek if they truly wanted to.

Purchase greeting card printed on recycled paper.  You could even forgo the snail mail this year and send e-card in its place.

Pass up the shopping at malls this year. Driving all over town trying to find the perfect gift wastes valuable time and money. You can shopping online and still buy from local companies as well. Mull over gift that you feel confident they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys tasty food and everyone needs to eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Perhaps take this one step further and decide on a gourmet food gift that comes in an eco-friendly shopping bag. These wonderful bags come in reusable nylon or 100% recycled reusable. The nylon bag becomes a petite rolls for easy convenient carrying in your bike bag.  The 100% recycled bag doesn’t use only recycled materials to manufacture. They are both green choices. I found that Basketsbyrita offers Eco Friendly gifts with Gourmet Holiday foods and also made in Colorado food. Choos our Spring Eco-Friendly Food Gift. Your holiday shopping just got more practical since you shopped online, got something useful, did something that was good for the environment and your recipient will love it. Done! Happy Holidays.

Appreciation Gift Basket Say It all!

DENVER, CO—Nationwide, the week of April 18-24, 2010, is set aside as a time to acknowledge administrative professionals for the essential role they provide in the daily operations of American business. This year’s theme " Power of Commitment. Power of Commitment encompasses everything about administrative professionals and their values. As admins show commitment in all their work, they fully give to the workplace.

“Taking care of the human characteristic of a company is one of the finest investments a company can make in terms of raising morale and yield,” explained Corporate Relations Specialist, Marge Van Woerkom whose Denver/Fort Collins-based company, Baskets by Rita markets gifts for any occasion.  “As a specialist in corporate relations, we aid our clients in taking care of the human aspect of business.”

One way of protecting and strengthening the human side of a company is seizing the opportunity to identify the people who make the everyday operations happen. “During my corporate career at HP, Ifound that a crucial part of acquiring a company was making certain that the important employees felt valued and would remain loyal because they were the company,” elaborated Van Woerkom. “Appreciation Gift baskets are a great way to recognize the “administrative professionals.”

Baskets by Rita is planning for the 18th year to play a crucial role in making Administrative Professionals feel valued and significant by offering unique gifts expressly designed with employee recognition in mind, including. Thanks a Million, Starbucks and chocolate gift basket, World of thanks gift, Executive Sweets gift just to name a few of the designs that will be offered. “You did a FABULOUS job on the baskets. They were a big hit. By far my favorite gift we’ve given yet. You do beautiful work,” Writes J Rice, Marketing Manager, Oakwood Homes, after she ordering appreciation gifts for their associates.  “Baskets by Rita, Inc. was started with the business gifting in mind”, noted Van Woerkom, “and we know that Administrative Professionals week is one of many a time for us to help employers build upon the unified environment that makes companies successful.”

Hot Wings Gift Basket For His BBQ Habit

Valentines for The Men
Everyone knows that Father's Day is the time to express your appreciation to dear old dad.  The problem is that it can be certainly quite hard for you ladies to work out what to get for your guy.  Valentine's is another holiday for the guys too. You could always get something sexy for yourself and use this as your gift to him, but for many couples this just won’t fly.  jewelry are the time-honored gifts, but to tell you the truth, women like these gift more than your man does.  You could purchase him an a new TV, but then you might not won't see him for the next two weeks. So, what’s a girl to do? Let beer be the answer or a gift basket for a man!

Here’s a pretty safe bet that he’ll love it. Now, don’t just go get a six-pack of any ordinary beer and hand it to him in a brown paper bag; only other guys can be so not cool. Be creative,get on your computer and search for basketsbyrita.com and order a Valentine beer tub to be delivered to his work.   This will cost a little more than that stand alone beer, but it will be SO worth it.  Imagine his surprise when the courier come in (or FedEx package) with a beer tub full of awesome microbrews and appropriate munchies.  Make sure to have the enclosure card says something like “I thought you’d love this almost as much as me.  See you tonight!  Love.”  The other employees will be flipping over this gift.  The women will all be saying “oh, how wonderful” and the guys will be wondering what cutesy thing their spouse/girl friend got them.  You can be sure the guys will be thinking “Oh man, how amazing!”  We can even put a few extra chocolates in the tub that he can share with you.  If he’s really a awesome guy, he’ll share the beer with you.  You won’t give him a guilt trip if he doesn’t will you?

Beer Gifts Paired with great Food

Have you ever considered delving into the notion of pairing beer with your favorite food?  This doesn't mean that you go out and find a great brat and cook it in your best beer either. I am even suggesting that you go beyond pizza and burgers too. Try out some of the following ideas! You might find that there is more than one way to enjoy a fine can of beer.Cheese is one food that is usually associated with wines and champagne. Discover how good a nice brie tastes with a fine wheat beer. Apples like Gravensteins is another successful pairing with a Belgian ale. There are the ester, or fruity, characteristics that are frequently found in apple or pear-like fruit while the truffle honey harmonizes with the slight honey notes Belgian ales are known to have. Also, the flavors of gouda cheese compliment the Brett characters that are found in the beer.

Some American wild ale loosely looks like top-fermenting beers that have been purposefully introduced to fermenting agents beyond the classic assortment of beer yeasts, sometimes replacing them altogether. Strains of wild yeasts such as Brettanomyces, along with the lactic acid-producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, which are normally considered contaminants in beer and wine making circles. They are used to deliver rare sensory profiles by brewers who are willing to take risks as to both the changeableness of the results and the observation of the public.

The company Baskets by Rita offers an assortment of beer gifts and beer tub gifts, birthday and beer gifts online as gifts to those beer authority. Their gifts are designed in useful containers that are functional when the goodies are being consumed and after they are gone. ”Perfect for any occasion”, say VanWoerkom, owner of the company.

Stress Relief Care Package Gifts

Expectantly the year starts out on a high note,nearly have their resolutions either written down or at least in their heads. This time of reflection on the year before gives us a view of what we would like to transform in the future. Change is always great but hard to embrace and to make happen. As the employee responsible for benefits for the employees I find it difficult to choose the right gifts that contain the perfect product for the right occasion that will please the masses.  We all know that nothing is wonderful so it goes with gifts. I call it one size fits all which really means may or may not work.

I have learn that there are people out there more appropriate than I to make these design selections than I am. I have been working with Basketsbyrita.com for many years now and they are very professional.

They write the following:
Many companies deal with over worked over stressed employees that they count on to lead the company through these challenging times. These employees are the future successors that are striving to finish projects, pass the bar exam or perhaps taking on additional duties where others have had to be let go. These folks deserve a little TLC periodically. If they are the fresh new lawyer preparing for the bar exam send them a stress relief gift basket or survival gift basket the week prior to the exam along with a note stating ‘hang in there we are rooting for you’. If it a task in it’s final stages send the survival basket to their home to say “we appreciate all your extra efforts to keep the project on schedule’.

The good this care packages gift and message send far out way the dollars spent on these gifts. Statistics show that 60% of employees leave a business because they did not feel appreciated.  Having working in HR for a large firm I understand what it takes to keep employees fulfilled. Most of all I have learned that relationships are critical to the success of any corporation.

Fun Get Wells Laughs That Heal

Every Get well circumstance is different. Sometimes the person was absolutely fine one day and dreadfully ill the next. This might be from an accident or surgery to correct a problem or even an illness that has taken it’s grip. Understanding this is extremely important when deciding upon a gift to say get well soon we miss you. If the person has had surgery then there might be dietary restrictions to think about. On the other hand it might be a sport injury and they will be back to normal in no time.

I want to talk about the brighter side of get well where your present, words and actions all promote joy, laughter and relaxation. There is lots of research being done with music therapy to help aid in healing. Laughter has also been recognized lowering blood pressure and reducing stress levels. With all this in mind we should always believe sending gifts to the sick that have a fun get well theme.  Funny get well gifts come in all types. Some take the word fun to the extreme without regarding to the fact that fun or funny means entirely different things to different people.

People can have a nice laugh about a giant white chocolate aspirin. Most everyone will find a clean joke book funny too.  Even a deck of cards can be enjoyable since most everyone knows some sort of card game. As for the food in this fun get well gift basket, well it is enjoyable too.  We suggest easy to eat snack type food items that aren’t too overly sweet or fatty. We’ve kept in mind that the person is perhaps bed ridden a good part of the day. We also understand that someone is probably there taking care of them and they could use a little snack too sometimes. So playing the games will help time pass as the healing process takes it’s course.

Gift for Your Dad Father's day

Dad deserves the best on his day.  OK, so you’re thinking what in the world can I get my dad for Father’s day?  I don’t live at home any more and have no idea what he would like.  You aren’t seriously considering sending a gift card to Lowe’s or Home Depot are you?  That’s about as special as a another wool sweater (in summer no less).

You may not live at home any more, but you in all probability have a good idea of what your dad likes – is he a beer fan?  A chocolate lover?  How about a wine expert?  At baskets by Rita, we’ve been considering what men really like for gifts and putting together  great  gifts for you to order.

I know, you always thought “baskets” were for the ladies, but once you take a look at  our beer tub , your will have a new attitude.  If your dad’s preferences are for wine, you’ll note that we can deliver not only a exceptional wine of your choice, but also a exceptional  set of complementary  foods that make a very sweet package.  Our gift baskets for a man section is a great place to look if his tastes don’t include alcohol.

So let’s say your dad is a wine drinker that is also a big cheese lover.  All you need to do is order one of our gift baskets for a man that fits the bill. The most important part of the entire gift is your message on the card attached so be witty and wise. We will read your special instructions so let us know what he really like and we will put it in your gift basket. Such as oh by the way my dad really enjoys chocolate.  The nice thing about working with baskets by Rita, instead of the big guys is that we actually read your order and can build your beer baskets with the customizations you want to make your gift truly special.

Newborn baby welcome home Celebrations

New babies coming into this world no matter how many times you have experienced it with family, friends and co-workers is always magical. Why does it seem that the birth a new baby is always special? The event is something the requires notice and celebration.  Perhaps it is because we naturally realize that it means that life does go on. It also reminds us of our own youth and beginning. A whole new life filled with hope, joy and discovery.  Statistics show that in the US the new born baby birth rate has been declining over the past 12 years . The fall in teen pregnancy has undoubtedly been one of the most important public health success stories of the past decade as well.

Think about the celebration piece of this new born baby process. People welcome new born babies in numerous different way. Of course there is the popular baby shower gift to consider, if you are lucky enough to be invited. This baby gift is something that you can accomplish even if you live far away.  Baby shower gifts can either be in themes like first baby we need all the necessities to oh we know it’s a boy so bring on the blue boy things. There is also the corporate gifts for new babies that are generally less personal and may even contain things for the family as well.

Welcome new born baby gifts can be easy to find and well received by the new mother and Father. I might suggest that you take a surf through the internet checking out baby gift baskets. Baby baskets come in bassinet style gifts, radio flyer wagons in miniature, fabric lined baskets great of use in the nursery and even willow handled baskets too. Items used to fill these inventive gifts can range from food for the family, sparkling beverage to toast the arrival, rattles, teething rings, wash cloths, baby bath products, soft blankets, baby clothes, and even hand made baby quilts with personalized embroidery to mark the birth. The beauty  of these gifts is once you find a good source it can make your gift giving quick and trouble-free for future births.  

Colorado Wine Gift Baskets Solves the Problem

I like to say that we are professional problem solvers. It goes like this, we get a call from the anxious administrative assistant of a company coming to Denver for their yearly conference. The conference is just a couple of short weeks away and management has just decided to have welcome gifts at the hotel when the guest arrive. The admin fills us in on the necessary details including the fact that they want the hotel welcome baskets to have a bottle of Colorado wine,  products from Colorado and three pieces of fresh fruit too. The company wants the Colorado Wine Baskets to look professional with their budget is $50 each plus the cost of the wine.  Oh, they need 63 baskets to the hotel in just under two weeks. We assured the customer that this will not be a problem and we would send her a picture in an email of the basket once we got a sample put together. We worked with the local liquor store to order the Colorado wine and check our warehouse for the rest of the product. Since everything was in stock and we were ready to start assembly.  The final completion of these Colorado Welcome baskets could not take place until the day before their scheduled delivery date to ensure the freshness of the fruit.

The Colorado welcome gift baskets were delivered to the hotel on time as promised. Later that day we received the following message:
Mara, I arrived at the Hyatt today to find a beautiful Colorado Wine Gift Basket to welcome  awaiting me in my room. Thank you so much! In addition, seven other company employees checked into the Hyatt today and I have heard only positive comments about the welcome baskets and how nice they are. You've met our expectation and more! You've made my day! Warm wishes, Mary Ann, URS Corporation Human Resources.
They keep coming back for more too. There are several more example just like this one and many of these companies come back every year to get welcome gift baskets for their scheduled meeting.

Baby gift baskets Welcoming Gifts

Corporate perks include time off, free meals, wellness programs and an sporadicgift for life events like the birth of a new baby. Corporate gifting is always an critical choice because you want it to be practical and appreciated. Therefore, something well thought out is very important. So what to send to the new baby. Many of our best business customers at BasketsbyRita send gift baskets to their employees when a new baby is born. They order everything from our Organic Baby girl gift basket, baby boy bassinet gift basket,  New Baby gift basket and our new baby girl gift basket or our baby boy gift basket. Giving a present to celebrate the birth of a new baby is a awesome way for a company to state we want to welcome this new baby to the world. Messages read "congratulations on the birth of your new baby from your friends at Acme corporation" or "wow what a sweet way to get out of work for a while. We hope you get some sleep soon. We miss you!  The Business"

Offering lots of options for new baby gifts is very important since we know that each person wants something different. We have found that our welcome wagon gifts have been very popular. I think people like the fact that the container is a miniature red wagon which makes an exceptional keepsake item for the newborn to enjoy as they get older. Our products are high quality and we offer brand names items such as Baby Einstein and TY bears. Our baby gift baskets contain toy rattles, cookies for mom and dad, soap, lotion, picture frames, wash cloths, teddy bears and more.
