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

Sending Joy!

Spring is on it's way and who wouldn't want to receive some JOY!  Joy is not just a Christmas word.  It is a warm, colourful expression that everyone wants to feel and receive. 
While searching the internet I came up with this picture for the colour of JOY.
When sending a gift basket you want to deal with a company that when sending your gift encompasses the feeling you also want to send.  Atwww.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com we make sure that when we are decorating the gift basket that the packaging has the wow factor.  The colour of the ribbons and decorating make seem insignificant but it sets a feeling right from the start.
 You wouldn't send chocolate and candy to someone who is on a diet or tea & coffee to someone who doesn't drink it. 
When sending a sympathy gift basket you wouldn't want to send polka dotted ribbons with balloon or brown ribbons on a birthday basket.  These are slight exaggerations but first impressions make a lasting impression.
Knowing how important this is, is why we choose our products so carefully.  We also choose our colours and gift wrapping carefully.
We now carry the cookies from Felix and Norton.  They have a reputation for absolutely delicious and they are.  The number of orders we receive speak for them self.
If you have a special gift basket you would like to send (all gift baskets are special) take a look at our website.
Enjoy your day

Why A Gift Basket

The care taken with making anything by hand

 lends a level of special attention to detail 

that makes gift baskets so lovely to give and receive.

 Every item that goes into personalized gift baskets can be selected 

to meet the specific desires of the recipient.

 As well, the basket can be finished with the favorite colors of your special someone in terms of wrap, ribbon and bows used.

We have been in business for 2 1/2 years now and want to say thank you to all our fantastic customers!  Business at www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com is growing in leaps and bounds.

With the addition of the Monsieur Felix & Mr Norton cookies we are really on the move.  I have to confess I had never heard of these cookies.  When a customer called about them and wanted only these cookies in a basket I checked into it for her.  We go the extra mile to give our customers what they want.

Now it seems as though I am the only person that was unfamiliar  with these cookies.  They are soooo delicious.  The chocolate melts in your mouth.  They are baked fresh the day of shipping and are made of real butter etc.

Not everyone is a cookie monster.  We have all the baskets with the crackers, cheese from St. Alberts, candy, nuts, tea and coffee.

Don't forget the smoked salmon, Ontario Maple syrup, and the bakeapple & partridge berry jams from Newfoundland's Own  gift basket.

Bakeapple Cream Puffs

• ½ cup butter or margarine 4 eggs
• 1 cup boiling water
• unsweetened whip cream
• 1 cup flour
• 10 oz of Bakeapple jam
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¾ tsp salt

Grease baking sheet. In sauce pan melt butter in boiling water: add flour and salt at once, stir vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that doesn’t separate. Remove from heat: cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, about 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Drop batter by heaping tablespoon 3 inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 F about 30 min. or until golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and split, removing any soft dough. Cool on wire rack. Fill with unsweetened whipped cream and Bakeapple jam

Enjoy
