Gift Basket Ideas
Let's pretend I'm your client. I'm going to tell you what I don't want you to give me this year. I would never say this to your face, because I really don't want to offend you, but...
Here are a few things I've received last year from you and others like you, that I really don't want or need:
1. Ball caps and coffee mugs. We have to have a garage sale almost every year to get rid of this stuff. We end up making about 25 cents a sale, so I guess it's not all that bad.
3. Watches. I'm sorry to tell you, the watches you sent last year are nice, but I have my own style. However, if you send me another one on time, I can 're-gift' it to my brother for the holidays.
4. Pens. Cheap plastic pens tell me I'm not worth much to you. Expensive pens I still end up losing somehow. If someone else takes my nice pen without your logo on it, it's not worth much in advertising to you either.
5. Fruit cake. Need I really tell you that nobody eats these things? They end up as door stops or re-gifted to Aunt Edna. I don't know what she does with them.
6. Flowers. They're beautiful, but you can't eat them.
