Puppy Love At Christmas

What is your first thought when you see this?
 Mine is,  'sleep in heavenly peace".

How about this one?  I'm thinking, "I see mommy kissing Santa Claus".

"It'll be a blue Christmas without you"

I've taken a break from doing gift baskets.  Whatever you do don't google Christmas puppy images.  It will be way to time consuming. 

Christmas is now "8" days away.  I got a fun order today for a gift basket to go the the US.  My customer is sending it to her brother.  They both live in the US but as children lived in Canada.  I am doing a Christmas Gift Basket with a little bit of Canada...butter tarts and maple syrup and all those good things.

Need some Christmas suggestions?  Keep it simple.  Make sure you send lots of love in your gift.  I'm not suggesting you send a puppy, but send some of that feeling you get when you look at those cute little faces.  

I of course send chocolates, candy, cheese, and all those good things.  If you  want something specific or different, call me.  I will do up a gift or gift basket that is just what you want.  Plus it will be wrapped up with love.

Happy Shopping& Merry Christmas

Christmas & Gift Giving

 I love Christmas and the gift giving. 

 Christmas is the time to celebrate God's wonderful gift to us.

  For me, giving gifts is not being "commercial".  It is showing love and how much I care.  Yes, I can get carried away and think " I just want to spend a little more", but it is done because of my family and friends that I love and want to express it to them with more than just words.

Today I received a Christmas card and gift in the mail from my son.  I was so pleased that he took the time to send it and purchase the gift.  It wasn't that I had to have one but I thought he took the time to show me this way that  he loves me.  I knew he loved me before I received the card but this was just that reinforcement that I loved.

My website  at www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com is not like a lot of the gift basket websites.  I have tried to create gift baskets and gifts that you would be pleased to send.  A little of me goes into the planning of the candy, cheese, etc that I purchase.  I look for items that I would be proud to send and to receive.  

Christmas is now 10 days away but there is time for shipping your gifts.  Show someone you care and that you are thinking of them and remember why we do celebrate Christmas

Jesus is the reason for the season!

Merry Christmas

Canadian Christmas

Looking for something unique to give this Christmas?  Take a look at Mugs Depicting the "Group of Seven"  These mugs have become very popular gifts this Chrismtas.  They are a fine china, they depict scenes from the artwork of the Group of Seven and are a gift that people appreciate and use. 
Gift baskets are popular for corporate giving, but once the contents are finished it becomes "out of sight out of mind".  This is a gift that will be used and be a conversation piece. 
Don't forget there are only 19 days to go!
We ship with Fedex across Canada.  Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and areas are usually next day delivery.
Happy Shopping

"Christmas Starlight

Candles are always a perfect gift for Christmas.  Add in some old fashion Butter Crunch candy with chocolate, mints and taffy and for $38.00 you have a unique gift for someone.

As you think about gift giving, remember this is the time of year for giving to those who are in need.  There are families and children in all communities that just don't have a lot of the basics.  

I am always so thankful that I am on the giving end and not the receiving, although that can change very quickly.

We are now only 19 days away from Christmas Eve.  For shipping across Canada you need to order now.  For areas like Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal you are still okay but even Fedex gets really busy.

Please note the phone # has changed and I am trying to get it changed on the website.  To call about gift baskets, the # is

30 Days Till Christmas Eve

Images of Christmas villages and towns are so serene and picturesque.  You gaze at time and then boom...Christmas Eve is only 30 days away and we aren't ready.

Christmas is very busy here with packaging gift basket orders to be shipped across Canada.   The part I enjoy them most is the personal touch I put on each gift basket with the ribbon and decoration.  That may sound trivial but it gives your gift basket very personal touch. 

  At www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com you will find great choices for this Christmas.  

My personal favorite is the Christmas Cheese Tray  The cheese is the finest from Glengarry Cheese and St Albert's.   The creamy mints will be the best you have ever tasted!

When I started www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com I resolved to use only quality foods in my gift baskets.  No little packages with one or two crackers or candy, no processed cheese and little fillers.  It has taken time to build up business but it has been worth it.

I would be delighted to have you join my many customers this Christmas and to hear your comments on the products. 

 Don't hesitate to call for custom made baskets.  Most of our corporate orders are made to order.  

Remeber we ship with Fedex across Canada.  Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and other parts of Ontario are usually next day shipping.

Time To Make A List

Just Like Santa

There are only 33 days until Christmas Eve....and then the time for shopping is over!  

If you haven't done so already, it is time to make a list.

I haven't sent Christmas cards for quite a few years now.  In my mind I image taking a snowy day, sitting by the fire and writing out notes to friends and tucking them into my cards.  It still is a treat to receive hand written cards from friends that you seldom see throughout the year.  I can still add that to my list but I don't have a lot of time left.

Here goes my list (or at least my first draft).

With the gift basket business, it is always easy to do up a gift basket for friends and family.  It saves me time but best of all everyone really loves getting one and especially the kids.  To them it is such a treat.  It is something totally different for gift giving for them.

Don't hesitate to order gift baskets to be delivered to you for your gift giving.  Many of my customers order gift baskets to be delivered to their address for under the tree for their gift giving.  It saves you time and makes a great gift.

Happy shopping

It's Spring, No It's March

Is it Spring in March or is "in like a lamb out like a lion" just teasing us!

With all this great weather I am in the mood to change up some of the gift baskets to be all the colours of spring.  As you all know when we ship your order we spend as much time on the outside of the basket as on the inside of the gift basket. We strive to give the best presentation of our gift baskets.  The colour co-ordination of ribbon & bow is very important.  Right now the spring time colours are flourishing, depending on the occasion .  With Easter on it's way, Secretary's Day and many many new babies we are having fun creating for you.  The baby baskets are in hot demand.  Of course the cookies from Felix and Norton never slow down. 

We all have busy lives.  We go to work, we bring work home and we are completely dedicated to our social media and connections via cell phones.  At www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com our goal is to provide you with your gift giving service and you have more time for home and social life.  Maybe even time for some fresh spring air! 
Our gift baskets are individually packaged and the chocolate, cheese, candy, crackers, smoked salmon, baby items and so on are hand chosen and creatively arranged. 
Enjoy the spring weather, make your gift list and send it off to us.  We will customize whatever you need.

Enjoy the day
