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
