Thanks to everyone who purchased an Easter gift basket from us, we think it was our busiest Easter yet and hope everyone enjoyed tucking into chocolate eggs & sweeties. We actually thought the toy bunnies were breeding at one point, as we had so many sitting waiting to be sent to their new owners!

We have also just announced the winner of our Easter Facebook competition. We run a competition every month and make it as fun as possible with different stages & funny ways of selecting the winner(s). So be sure to check our page out & get involved in the next one!

During Spring/Summer we are also running several promotions, details of which can be seen on our homepage. From the end of March until the 9th April, the majority of baskets were getting a free creamy fudge included as an added extra. To celebrate the anniversary of 'The Titanic' all jams & marmalades are being upgraded to the boxed, promotional Titanic version throughout April. We are also celebrating Granny & Granddad's by including complimentary shortbread in baskets purchased for them. You may also notice certain chocolate gift hampers advertised with 15% off the normal price, so grab these while you can!

We hope you enjoy these extra little treats.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

How To Create An Easter Gift Basket - Top 5 Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:44:00 +0000

Easter time is an example of an occasion perfect for gift baskets. You might like to create an Easter Gift for your kids & family or perhaps to sell, but how would you go about this? Read on for our top 5 tips for creating Easter Gifts Baskets.

There are a number of factors to keep in mind when deciding to create an Easter Gift.

1) The Recipient(s) - Always keep in mind who the gift basket is for & this will help with all your other choices. Is it for an individual person or a group of people? If it is for a group of people then you will probably need to include more items. More items can obviously lead to more cost, but not necessarily if you pick easy to share items such cake, cupcakes, chocolates & sweeties. Also what age is/are the recipient(s)? If it is for a young child then there will be certain sweets not suitable for them. Older recipients are unlikely to appreciate lots of candy or toys, unless of course they are young at heart!

2) The Contents - The first thing that springs to mind when thinking of Easter gifts is of course Easter Eggs! A basket of eggs may be exactly what you wish to send, but we like to try & be a bit more imaginative to cater for more people. As well as Easter Eggs, you will find little chocolate animals & mini chocolate eggs dotted throughout our BasketsGalore Easter baskets. Sweeties such as chews, jellies, pastilles, lollipops & themed marshmallows are great for sharing & brightening up your gift too. For the older recipient we find baked goods such as cupcakes, cakes, buns & flapjacks are popular inclusions.

Your Easter gift baskets don't have to consist of all food either. Cuddly toys like bunnies & chicks are cute additions and help to theme the gift basket. Or perhaps books, puzzles or DVD's to help keep the kids entertained on their Easter Holidays off school.

3) The Container - when you know how many people the gift is for & what items you want to include then you will be able to select a suitable container. Woven baskets are very Easter-like and come in all shapes & sizes. Baskets will a tall handle look great, but aren't very practical when it comes to posting/delivering them as they are bulky. Lidded hampers are easier to assemble as they don't require as much gift wrap. Basket trays are shallow so are good if you are including lots of smallish items. Medium rectangular baskets give a bit more height, are linen lined and can be cellophane wrapped for maximum visual impact. You may already have the basket chosen & if so you can work the contents around it!

4) The Presentation - We have already touched upon gift wrap for your gift basket in the form of cellophane wrapping. Presentation has 2 aspects to it - the look of the gift, but also the practicalities for when it is being transported. Is your basket linen lined or will you need to insert some kind of cloth lining? To pad the basket out & provided protection to the gift you might like to add shredded paper, tissue paper or bubble wrap for glass items. There is also the option to shrink wrap the basket to stop the items within moving around too much & becoming damaged. Colourful ribbons & organza bows help to finish the gift basket look & give it that wow factor.

5) The Delivery - Are you going to be hand delivering the gift, posting it or sending it by courier company. As mentioned the type of product on offer and choice of container will need to be taken into consideration depending on your delivery method. Bulky or heavy baskets can be difficult to box & expensive to ship. Perishable items such as fruit or meat may not travel well either unless you have special "keep cool" packaging. Hand delivery is great for local gifts, but you may get requests for further afield & so driving to them all is not a viable option.

Our Easter Gift Baskets

At BasketsGalore we have been creating Easter Gift Baskets for the past 10 years, so you might like to look at our range for inspiration. Also if you live overseas postage to the UK & Ireland can be expensive, so why not order a gift for your loved ones from us & we can ship it from only £6.99. Ordering an Easter gift also takes the hassle out of sourcing, packaging, presenting & posting your gift as we take care of all that for you! However, we hope these tips are helpful for anyone wanting & able to create their very own Easter Gift Basket.

Easter Eggstravagance Family Basket £59.99

Easter Bunny Basket £34.99

P.S - You could also cheat by designing your own Easter Gift, but letting us put it together & deliver if for you! How do you do this? Simply visit our "Create Your Own" website & pick from all the items listed individually! There is even a dedicated holiday section, so it is currently full of Easter themed items.

Thanks for reading & 'Happy Easter' to you all!!

Mother's Day & St Patrick's Day Weekend!

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:10:00 +0000

Mother's Day & St Patrick's Day Weekend

Wow, what a busy few days we have had with orders for Mother's Day & St. Patrick's Day!

We dispatched hundreds of orders on Wednesday & yesterday, for delivery today and the orders are still coming in now.

We have lots going for delivery on Monday & also on the special Saturday service.

Unfortunately the courier companies do not offer a Saturday delivery option in Ireland & it is also a Public Holiday on Monday 19th for St Patrick's Day, as it falls on a Saturday this year.

This means any orders dispatched today for Ireland will hopefully arrive on Tuesday 20th March, when the couriers re-open.

If you ordered a perishable basket containing salmon, fruit etc today we advised these are not dispatched until next week so as they arrive freshly overnight. If we sent them today they would be in transit for quite a few days due to the extended weekend and we want your friends & family to receive their gift basket in top condition.

There are also no collections on Monday 19th of parcels destined for Ireland, due to the Public Holiday, so any orders to Ireland placed on Friday evening (post 3pm) & over the weekend will be dispatched on Tuesday 20th March & therefore delivered on Wednesday 21st.

We can't turn the dates off in the calendar as deliveries to the UK are still available on Monday & Tuesday, so apologies for any inconvenience caused. We do endeavour to email anyone who places an order ASAP to explain the delivery options when a holiday occurs or to offer an alternative gift.

We can also include a note of apology with your gift basket to explain the delay was due to the Public Holiday, so as not to get you in trouble!

Thanks for your understanding with this matter and if your gift is destined for England, Wales, Scotland or Europe don't worry - they remain unaffected!

Many thanks for your orders & we wish you all a fantastic Mothering Sunday & St. Patrick's weekend! Enjoy the rugby too everyone!

Mother's Day Gift Baskets

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Mothering Sunday - 18th March 2012

We all love our mummies and what better way to show her you care on Mother's Day than by sending her a gorgeous Mother's Day gift basket full of treats she'll love?

At BasketsGalore we always have lots of gifts baskets perfect for mums, but we've also designed some special Mother's Day gifts containing mum themed mugs, balloons and gift tags.

Did you know our own mum, nicknamed Krafty, oversees the design & creation of all our gift baskets? Her knowing eye has great attention to detail & she knows exactly what mums want in a gift!

Some of the team winning at local
Business Awards

However, if you don't see a basket that is quite right then you can always 'Create Your Own' Mother's Day gift basket. On our dedicated 'Create Your Own' site you can pick from all the food & pamper items we offer. Popular food items for mum include tea & coffee as well as yummy chocolates, fudge & biscuits. If your mum doesn't have a sweet tooth then our range of cheese, crackers & chutneys might be an option. Pamper items include luxurious body creams, bubble baths & hand lotions.

Butlers Chocolate
Ballotin

Fior Hand
Lotion

Causeway Ballybradden
Garlic & Herb Cheese

There is also a specific Mothers Day section on the 'Create Your Own' site. As previously mentioned, special mothers day items include cute ceramic, gift boxed mugs with various verses like "Special,kind and caring, too, you put love in all you do!". You can choose from 'Special Mum or Mummy' and 'Special Grandma or Nanna'. There are also decorative money pots to help your mum or nan save for something special. Choose from 'Mum's Pamper Pot' or 'Glamorous Gran's Fund Pot'. You may also like to include her favourite magazine, DVD or book.

Special Mum/Grandma Mug

Mums Pamper Pot

Our 'Special Mum' wooden gift tag and cute 9 inch "Happy Mother's Day" balloons help to decorate, theme & finish your gift basket. Remember all orders receive a complimentary gift card with your message printed onto it.

All Mother's Day orders will be delivered on Thursday 15th or Friday 16th March, as the courier companies do not operate on Sundays. We also offer a special Saturday delivery service with Parcel Force, so you could opt to have your gift delivered on Saturday 17th March (UK addresses only).

Please note, we only have a limited number of mugs and money pots so please order ASAP to reserve yours!

Many thanks,

The BG Team

Gifts baskets delivered to Europe

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:22:00 +0000

TGI Friday Folks!

I just wanted to write a quick update regarding our delivery rates to Europe, as I think it's pretty good news for those of you wishing to send gifts internationally.

As you may know BasketsGalore has always offered a European delivery service, and we have even delivered further afield to the likes of the US, Canada, Australia & Russia in the past. Currently we are concentrating on a great, cost effective delivery service to countries based in the EU, as then there are no worries about customs hold ups & charges.

When exporting/importing to non-EU countries Customs can hold a parcel for inspection & can also add duties/charges on, so when delivery is attempted they ask the recipient to pay this additional charge. These customs charges are separate & on top of the delivery price that is paid to the delivery company, so we have no control over the charges.

So for this reason we specialise in sending to the most popular EU countries our customers ship to. These include Belgium, France, Germany & the Netherlands in Zone 1 and Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland & Sweden in Zone 2. For the full list of delivery countries please see the table below:

Europe Zone 1 -Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany

Europe Zone 2 - Portugal, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Czech Rep, Estonia, Hungary, Malta, Monaco, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia.

In past years we have only offered an Economy Service to European destinations, as these are available at lower rates. However, delivery can take 3-6 working days (depending on the destination country/zone) so you need to order a week or so in advance if it is a birthday gift for example.

For Christmas 2011 we introduced an Express European delivery service, as many Christmas hampers contain perishable items & so it isn't advisable for them to be in transit for too long. (Perishable items are packed with ice packs which last 48-72 hours) The express service proved popular & many hampers arrived at their destination the next working day, or if not within 48 hours.

However, we understand throughout the year customers may wish to send a new baby basket or a smaller tea & biscuits hamper to friends, family or colleagues and don't need it to arrive ASAP.

So for 2012 we have introduced 2 European delivery rates at once, so customers can now choose between Express (1-2 days) or Economy (3-6 days).

Current Pricing - Feb 12 (subject to change if our rates with courier company increase of decrease)

Economy Service Zone 1 - £22.99 - 3-6 working days (no perishables)

Economy Service Zone 2 - £26.99 - 3-6 working days (no perishables)

Express Service Zone 1 - £44.99 - 1-2 working days

Express Service Zone 2 - £49.99 - 1-2 working days

Please see our delivery page for the most up-to-date pricing & country zones etc.

The only thing we ask is that if you pick a gift basket that contains perishable food then it must be shipped on the express service, so that is arrives in top condition. By perishables we mean smoked salmon or other meats like ham, chicken, duck& salami. Also soft cheeses and fresh fruit count as perishables.

Any food gift baskets containing ambient products only, such as biscuits, cake, lemonade, preserves, chutney & chocolates etc can be sent on the economy service. Also any baby gift baskets, pamper baskets or children's toy baskets are also fine to travel on the economy service.

Obviously if you need the basket to arrive by a certain date we advise picking the express service option. If the birthday/occasion is in 3 days time, for example, it would be better to pick the express service. Although the economy service estimates 3-6 days this is a rough guide & so it is not guaranteed to arrive in 3 days. Whereas with the express option it is a timed service & therefore it is more than likely to arrive within 48 hours. (Unless of course there is a hold up due to bad weather conditions or the address is difficult to locate)

Please remember it is a couriered signed delivery service rather than the postal service, so someone needs to be at the address to sign for the delivery. Many customers find delivery to a work address can be very convenient. We do provide you with tracking details when your basket is dispatched, so you can advise the recipient what day it is scheduled for delivery. Also please include a local telephone number for the recipient, should the driver need to speak with them to gain access to a property or for directions. The local driver will not be able to dial internationally to a UK, US or Irish telephone number.

I think that's it (sorry longer than I thought!), but I hope you find this blog useful should you wish to ship gifts to Europe with us.

Have a great weekend!

Christmas Review

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:03:00 +0000

Hi Folks,

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who shopped with us during November & December for Christmas hampers & gift baskets. We hope your friends & family members enjoyed receiving & eating the contents! We know many of you shop with us every year & we really appreciate your continued custom. We have been steadily growing for the past 10 years and make improvements to the systems every year. One thing remains constant though, we only offer great quality gift baskets that we would love to receive ourselves!

We were so pleased the snow stayed away this December, although we know many of you have been hindered by it in the past couple of weeks instead. It meant we were able to keep dispatching Christmas hampers right up until the 22nd December, for delivery on 23rd December. Some of the couriers even worked the Saturday, Christmas Eve, to get those last few parcels delivered.

We even dispatched baskets on Friday 23rd December & these were delivered as soon as the courier companies reopened again on 28th December. We were busy bees on 28th & 29th December too, dispatching New Year gift baskets & helping resolve any problems.

With so many gift baskets being dispatched there are inevitably a few delivery problems, such as the recipient not being home when delivery was first attempted & they need help re-arranging delivery. As a good will gesture we also dispatched some fresh cheese packs to recipients who couldn't get a 2nd delivery attempt rescheduled until after Christmas. We also did very well in terms of few breakages too this year. We bubble wrap individual jars and our boxes are padded inside with air pockets, but occasionally a jar still might arrive broken (if a courier might have been particularly heavy handed with a box for example). When this happens we send out a fresh gift basket or a complimentary hamper to replace any damaged goods. We want the recipients to be delighted with their basket & so work hard to help on those rare occasions something might go wrong. Of course you get the odd chancer who refuses to take any responsibility when incorrect address or telephone numbers have been supplied. Even then we do our best to come up with a suitable resolution, but we do ask for costs to be covered for return to sender, redelivery & restocking fees - never mind the administration time & costs involved.

So all in all a successful Christmas & New Year was had! January has been busy with VAT receipts & returns (the fun!), but also with updating our gift basket offering. We'll be back in touch soon with all the latest news.

Latest Hamper Delivery Update Tuesday 1.15am

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:16:00 +0000

Good Morning,

It is 1.15am GMT on Tuesday 20th December and we are preparing to ship all orders received so far later on today in order to give the gift baskets the best possible chance of arriving before Christmas.

We use all the major couriers and will be upgrading to the express 24 hour delivery service from now on for all orders.

Basketsgalore is still taking orders and is up to date with all processing.
Our logistics operation this year has been running smoothly due in no small part to the more favourable weather conditions than last years white out, which afflicted the British Isles.

All couriers are delivering up until Friday 23rd December. However we prefer to ship Tuesday and Wednesday so that we can intervene if problems may be encountered or people are not in. Also some businesses close for Christmas on Friday, so we don't like to take that chance.

The Basketsgalore group will all be working on Friday 23rd December to help our customers with any issues. Please assist us by emailing any problems you may be experiencing. Otherwise call us, give the details of your problem and a member of our team will work with you to assist in resolving any delivery issues. We will close for Christmas at 15:00 GMT on Friday, but will re-open on Wednesday 28th December and Thursday 29th December.

Gift Baskets dispatched on Wednesday 28th December and Thursday 29th December will be upgraded to express service. No Gift Baskets will be dispatched on Friday 23rd December unless they are non perishable.

We hope that everybody enjoys their Christmas hampers this year and we look forward to being of service to you all throughout the coming year.

Regards,
All at Basketsgalore

Christmas Hamper Delivery Update 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:15:00 +0000

Merry Christmas to all our customers.

Christmas Hamper Service

Thankfully no snow this year. It was at exactly this time of the year last year when we heard that hampers and gift baskets dispatched immediately were not guaranteed delivery before Christmas.
So through the night we worked to give the hampers the best possible chance of arriving before Christmas.

This year there are no such problems.
We have processed, checked and booked in all orders received up to 11.30am. Orders after this time are currently being processed.

Orders received tomorrow Wednesday up until 16.00 GMT will be dispatched on Thursday assuming the hamper is non perishable. We may upgrade perishable hampers to the express service, but this is at our discretion and should not be relied on. Otherwise hampers containing fresh meats and salmon will be dispatched on Monday.

Customers are advised that all hampers can be expedited for just £14.99. The range of Christmas hampers can be dispatched more quickly than say "a create your own hamper", so if time is a leading factor, then we recommend selecting from the range of Christmas Hampers on our web-site.

Gift Basket Service

All orders processed as of 22:04 GMT for non Christmas hampers are scheduled for dispatch within 24 hours unless otherwise specified for a later date.

Can we guarantee delivery before Christmas?

Whilst nothing is ever guaranteed, we are very confident we can process, assemble and dispatch your Christmas Hamper so that it arrives before Christmas. Based on our experience over the past 10 years, we find that the couriers will endeavour to clear their warehouses before Christmas. Therefore orders placed now with Basketsgalore will have a minimum of 5 days to be delivered. This does not include Saturday, when nearly all the courrier companies are working.

We will stop taking orders for delivery to Europe on Monday 19th December. We expect to still be dispatching last minute orders to UK & IRL on 22nd December, which will still likely arrive before Christmas. However, this cannot be guaranteed.

Weather is good, warehouse reports no delays and there are staff in the office to handle any questions or queries you may have.

Next delivery status update on Friday 16th December, 2011.

Thank you for your support throughout the year.

Basketsgalore

Apologies Bloggers,

It has been a while since we have written to you, with so many projects on the go at once during the summer period. So there must be lots to tell you about by now! There are 3 major projects that immediately spring to mind.

One of the main projects we've been working on is the introduction of a new management system, which works as a stock control & order dispatch system as well as an accountancy & reporting package. After researching all the available packages on the market we decided to go with one called Linnworks, as it integrates seamlessly with our Magento E-commerce store.

With any new system it takes a while to set up implement, learn & test before everything is as it should be. There was a lot of data entry to do, but now all that initial information has been inputted it will simply be a matter of keeping it up to date. Easier said than done I'm sure!

We also had the Corporate Restructuring, as detailed in an earlier blog. This has also been a time consuming & ongoing process, but we feel it was important to prepare for the changes that will soon be introduced, rather than re-acting to changes when they are made required. The restructure also involved a lot of physical & administrative changes, but we are almost there!

Finally, we have also been gearing up for our busiest time of year - Christmas! (Ho ho ho!) Both the warehouse and office staff have to start preparing months in advance. All the products are decided upon, ordered and Christmas hampers designed & photographed throughout the summer. We also have to bring in extra staff and prepare the order processing systems. We try not to play any Christmas music until at least November, although I think I might have heard "Oh I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" coming from the warehouse last week though!

Non Alcoholic and Hampers without alcohol.

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:30:00 +0000

Christmas Hampers in 2011

2011 will be our 9th season of preparing and dispatching Christmas Hampers and every year we think we offer a better and larger selection from last year.
Most importantly we refresh the contents of our hampers as packaging and tastes change, whilst retaining the key products, which make our hampers so popular.

This year we have clarified our non alcoholic range of hampers and hampers without alcohol. Basketsgalore grew originally from a desire to change perceptions and move away from the traditional format of a duo of wines with low cost food products.
Our differentiation was to include food products, which were too expensive to be included in the hampers of competitors. Thus the hamper without alcohol was born. We advertised the concept as being a no alcohol hamper although we included things such as brandy butter, brandy laced mince pies, etc.

In those days we were just a small provincial hamper company and we were thinking locally. However, because we were the first to do something different from the norm, our Christmas Traditional Feast Hamper was selected for review by the Sunday Times. They loved the hamper, but commented on the inclusion of Brandy Butter and Rich Fruity Chutney with Stout in a non alcoholic hamper.

Basketsgalore is now recognised as the online market leaders in hampers without alcohol in the UK, Ireland and Europe. Our range is based upon the minimisation of wine and alcohol within our hampers to offer something different from the competition.

This year we have our largest ever selection of hampers without alcohol available to buy on basketsgalore.co.uk. Our non alcoholic section is the strictest definition of the hamper without alcohol in the sense that there are no products whatsoever which contain any alcohol.

We are also offering a selection of our best selling hampers with wine and these can be purchased directly at basketsgalore.com.
Unfortunately Basketsgalore does not offer a hamper collection service for legal and insurance reasons. We have no insurance cover for retail customers visiting our premises, so please do not call around as we are unable to serve you. The exception to this is corporate entities organising their own collection for onward distribution using their own transportation networks.

Corporate Restructure at Basketsgalore Ltd

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 15:27:00 +0000

BASKETSGALORE OPENS NEW PREMISES IN IRELAND & GREAT BRITAIN

Important News for all Customers

Over the next 3-4 months, Basketsgalore Ltd corporate structure will change.
The reasons for this are due to local legislative requirements and to comply with the new EU 2013 regulations governing sales taxes payable on goods between EU member states exceeding £35000 per annum.

We are taking this opportunity to structure our operations in order to comply with these regulations. By 2013 all sales taxes and duties to another EU member state must be paid to that state for goods and services delivered within its borders. Currently Basketsgalore Ltd pays all duties, corporation taxes and sales tax to HMRC UK on the basis that goods are dispatched from the UK regardless of destination.

In order to comply with these changes within the prescribed timeframe, Basketsgalore will be restructuring its divisions over the coming 15 months.
We would appreciate our customers understanding & assistance as we aim to make this transition as easy as possible. Please understand that these changes are as a result of changes in the law of the land.

All Sales regardless of origin, but going to the Republic of Ireland will be processed by Ciseáin Go Leor Ltd (Irish for Basketsgalore Ltd). A dedicated website basketsgalore.ie has been established for Irish deliveries. Customers are requested to use basketsgalore.ie for all non alcoholic gift baskets and hampers going to Ireland.

For sales going to Northern Ireland, customers can chose to purchase from either basketsgalore.co.uk or basketsgalore.ie as long as the gift basket does not contain alcohol. The reason for this is that the Northern Ireland delivery market is very small and it is not possible for us to exceed the £35,000 sales limit.

Any gift basket or hamper sales containing wine will be dispatched by basketsgalore.com, which is being operated by Ciseáin Go Leor Ltd for the remainder of this year. This is the only website where you can buy a hamper containing wine for delivery in Ireland.

All sales originating from anywhere in the world and going to the UK will be processed by the original basketsgalore.co.uk company. This excludes any baskets which contain wine.

Next year Basketsgalore.com will be owned and operated by Basketsgalore GB Ltd (a registered company in England & Wales, whereupon wine will be available for sale within Great Britain).

The premises in Ireland will be opening next month with England & Wales scheduled to open early next year.

We appreciate how confusing all of this may seem. We would far rather just get on with the business of creating and dispatching great value gift baskets and hampers on behalf of our customers around the world. However, by 1st January 2013 all these changes will have been phased in to the extent that the following occurs.

Basketsgalore.ie only accepts orders for delivery to Northern & Southern Ireland.
(Ciseáin Go Leor Ltd)
Basketsgalore.co.uk only accepts non alcoholic orders for the United Kingdom
(Basketsgalore Ltd)
Basketsgalore.com accepts all orders including wine and champagne for delivery only in Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland)
(Basketsgalore (GB) Ltd)

As a result all 3 legal jurisdictions will have a Basketsgalore with its own premises in each region and comply with the regulations and laws relating to that borough.

We are still able to create economies of scale through Basketsgalore Ltd with that company acting as a general food and drink wholesaler for the Group purchasing requirements. Goods will be held in bonded warehouses where necessary and duties paid to the EU member state where the goods are delivered.

If in any doubt please contact or phone us. Our mission, as it has always been is to unite friends and family from around the world by providing the greatest gift baskets in the world.

Our objective is that by the end of 2012 we will have a wide range of even better websites, which can handle our customers orders wherever in the world they live or wish to send a Basketsgalore Gift Basket.

Sincerely,
Basketsgalore

Online Gift Basket Business Top Mistakes

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:13:00 +0000

Our Top 10 Mistakes: (Part 1 of 2)

As Basketsgalore approaches its 10th Birthday we’re looking back at some of the highs and lows of setting up an online gift basket business.
As you can imagine a lot has changed since the first Basketsgalore website went live in 2001. Over the years the primary website has seen five rewrites with numerous amendments in between. Here is a selection of our most memorable mistakes.
And on the basis that more is learnt from our mistakes than our successes, we begin with the aforementioned.

1) Maya the talking Mannequin.
This was a great idea in theory. It involved purchasing a software licence to enable a 3D character to talk to the customer and deal with their most frequently asked questions. The character had to be programmed to blink and make facial changes.
We got to the point of beginning voice recordings for the character and programming changes in facial expressions. Maya was uploaded to the website, but was met with a hail of opposition. “What’s that dummy doing in the corner?” was the most frequent question. Maya was quietly dropped from version IV of the website.

2) Animation Website
The animation was brilliant, we got the detail perfectly and it was drawn by an excellent company from Canada. We wanted something which set us apart from the competition and the animation captured it brilliantly. Unfortunately it slowed the website. With Google’s emphasis placed on fast loading times, it became a casualty of progress.

You can see it confined to the annals of e-history at:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuOiwRG_8Dw

3) Babygifts.basketsgalore.co.uk. In the olden days of the early 2000s, sub-domains were highly effective. Over the years we simply didn’t have enough resources to tackle this domain effectively. It is now in its 3rd incarnation and has been transferred to a new domain; babybasketsgalore.co.uk. However, the 2nd version was a horror and is a testimony to what happens when you keep patching and repairing a website. Navigation was confusing, imagery, shapes and fonts were mish-mashed. When design and technology do not coordinate this web-site is the result.

4) Valentines Gift Boxes. Perhaps our favourite mistake of all as it was an elementary and idealistic novice’s mistake. When the company started off we targeted Valentines Day as a great potential market for our gift baskets. We wanted red boxes and we would wrap them for delivery around our local area. The supplier needed a minimum order quantity and we agreed. We had no idea what 1000 boxes looked like, but its quite a lot when you’re working from 2 downstairs rooms and a garage.
Looking back on it now, we sold quite well as we were running around drumming up sales days in advance with flyers and calls to local businesses. However, the legacy of the red boxes is that 80% of them are still floating around. They are still wrapped in their original brown paper and at least provide some amount of insulation in our roofspace.

5) Brochure No 1. Our first brochure was a horror from a financial and marketing perspective It was designed in 2002 and bears testimony to naïve and irrational youthful exuberance. We chuckle about it now as it was 10 years ago and we have moved on eons since then. It was full A4 sized 16 page colour glossy brochure. It was expensive, cumbersome and completely ineffective. In our defence it must be remembered that the internet was not like the way it is today. E-Commerce sales were still very much in their infancy. Our beautiful brochure was obsolete as soon as it was printed. Thankfully we could not afford to print many. Nevertheless it is remarkable how certain elements of that brochure can still be seen today, so on that basis perhaps it was worth it. There was category segmentation, imagination, and clear competitive differentiation from anything else in the market place. It was a Gift Basket brochure designed for a small region of the UK which was theoretically sound, but practically incorrect.

Hopefully if you are thinking of starting up a gift basket or hamper business, you will recognise some of these issues and consider our experiences. Maybe it will help to prevent you from making the same mistakes.

The Joys of Designing A Gift Basket Website

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:46:00 +0000

The Joys of Designing a Gift Basket Website (PART 1)

The Basketsgalore website is based on the Magento platform, and has been heavily modified to suit the needs of our customers. Like all things internet, it is a work in progress and may not be suitable for new start companies. Ten years ago, Basketsgalore was built using Dreamweaver and there was no back end content management system. Nowadays there are many off-the-shelf CMS website templates.

The objective of Basketsgalore is to sell the best Gift Baskets in the world and in doing so create the best possible shopping experience for our customers.
Over the past year as we have rolled out a succession of improvements, our site has attracted the attention not only of our competitors in our industry but from companies in other sectors. We rely on the work of others online with their hints and tips when we meet what are seemingly intractable problems, so on this basis we’re sharing our experiences in the hope that at some point in the future.

1) Refreshing the cache:
This is one of the very first things I imagine anyone learns when using Magento that fixes 99% of problems is refreshing the cache.
To refresh the cache go to System > Cache management and change ‘All Cache’ from No change to Refresh.

2) Another very useful thing to know how when you first start using Magento is the tips feature. When trying to change certain features on the first website there was quite a lot of trouble locating the files which were bringing the pages together.
To activate tips, go to system > Configuration. Make sure you select the website you wish to change under ‘Current Configuration Scope’ (otherwise you’ll add tips to all of your websites, which you really don’t want), and go down to Developer at the bottom of the side bar.
Under debug, change ‘Template Path Hints’ and ‘Add Block names to Hints’ to yes, and click save. This will bring up the file paths on the web page you are working on. To turn it off, simply go back to the same place and turn the hints off and save.

3) Finding things in Magento can be a nuisance. When starting using the program, you may only edit the main content on the index page. This is easily found by going to CMS > Manage pages and then searching for the store and page you want. This is perfectly fine until you want to change an image on a category page and you can’t find the category page you needed anywhere. However, what you must remember is that category pages are set up in the back end of magento, but that they are brought together via php via the ftp.
Also remember that Magento is similar to wordpress, in that all the elements on the screen are separate files that are all brought together using one php file. The tips feature in Magento, when it’s enabled will tell you where the files were being drawn from and you can then change them.

4) When changing the look of a website in Magento, you are no doubt going to need to go into the files via ftp. Theres only ever going to be 2 places you use in the ftp when styling magento - App and Skin.

lets start with the Skin folder. In public_html > Magento > Skin > front end> default, and inside your chosen website folder, you’ll find a number of files and folders related to your website. This is where you will store all your websites images, as well as your css. You will only ever change the CSS files in this directory. You can only change the content via the magento backend or through the php files in app.

moving to the app folder go to Public_html > Magento > app > design > front end > default > your chosen website > template. In this folder you will find lots of folders from different sections of your website. This end of magento can look very confusing at first, but the more you use magento’s tips feature, which will locate where an element is situated for you in this section of the ftp, you’ll soon become more and more familiar. The hard part is working out the php!

Hopefully these experiences over the past week will assist others as they develop their websites. If you use Magento, there are serious obstacles that you have to overcome, which are well documented online. The above are merely our practical experiences of our work with the platform and how it relates to our little Gift Basket company in the UK and Ireland.

Mother's Day Again?

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 04 May 2011 13:04:00 +0000

You may have noticed us talking about Mother's Day & be wondering why, seeing as we just celebrated it on the 3rd April 11 in the UK & Ireland! Well the reason is that it is Mother's Day this Sunday, 8th May (the 2nd Sunday in May) for the majority of countries around the world:

If your mum is living in the UK or Ireland then why not celebrate May Mother's Day by sending her a lovely card & pressie. It is also very handy if you forgot to send something on the UK date! We have lots of Mother's Day gift baskets to choose from & each is sent with your personalised gift card message.

We can also deliver to Europe from as little as £19.99 remember. We noticed a few European countries (like Belgium & Germany) also celebrate Mother's Day on May 8th, so there is still time to send your Mothers Day gift today.

Royal Wedding & May Day Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 10:25:00 +0000

The Easter Holidays are over already, we hope you all had fun in the sun barbequing and picnicking! Operations at BG have returned to normal, but only for a couple of days as there are some more holidays coming up..yey!

This Friday 29th April is the Royal Wedding of Prince William & Kate Middleton (if you hadn't heard where have you been!) Because of this many of us in the UK are getting an extra days holiday, so we can join in the celebrations. The courier companies are not collecting or delivering, so at BG we have decided to take the day off too.

Then Monday just happens to be the May Day bank holiday which means another day off. There are no deliveries or collections on this day either.

Any orders placed on Friday & over the long weekend will be dispatched on Tuesday 3rd May.

There are still deliveries tomorrow (Thursday 28th) though in England, Scotland & Wales so why not send a basket of goodies for your friends & family to tuck into while they watch the Royal Wedding, or to take on a picnic on May Day? Or Saturday delivery to UK addresses is also an option for £23.50. Order by 3pm on Thursday 28th though please (as no Parel Force collections on Friday)

Our couriers in Ireland & Northern Ireland (Nightline) will still be delivering on Friday 29th, so please get in touch if you would like a Friday delivery to an address in these areas. Or simply place your order & reply to your email confirmation requesting a Friday delivery (possible for orders placed before 3pm on Thursday 28th to Irish addresses)

Many thanks,
The BG Team

Easter Deliveries

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:43:00 +0000

Well the BG Easter Bunny has been busy dispatching all your Easter orders to their lucky recipients! Due to arrive in time for the Easter Holidays & to be enjoyed in the sunshine!

However, if you forgot to get your order in on time, there is still a chance of it arriving before Easter if the delivery address is in Ireland! Couriers in Ireland still operate on Good Friday, but are closed on Easter Monday & Tuesday. Whereas UK couriers close Good Friday & Easter Monday, but re-open Easter Tuesday.

When you order you will see the calendar at the checkout tells you Tuesday is your next available delivery day, which is true if the delivery address is in England, Wales or Scotland.

If your order is going to Ireland we can still dispatch these on Thursday for delivery on Friday 22nd (if order placed before 3pm on Thursday 21st) Just place the order & pick the "next available day" shipping option. We will know to send the gift ASAP if you have included an Easter message. Or feel free to reply to your order receipt email to confirm you would like a Friday delivery if possible! Remember this is for addresses in Ireland & Northen Ireland only.

If the delivery address is in the UK, then there is still the option of Easter Saturday delivery. You need to order before 3pm on Thursday 21st to pick this Saturday option though, as there will be no Friday collections. Saturday delivery is a bit more expensive, as this is a special service.

Easter Holiday Delivery Schedule:

Addresses in Ireland/ N Ireland:
Orders placed on Wednesday Night & Thursday 21st (up til 3pm) - Delivery Friday 22nd
Orders placed Thursday (21st) Night & Friday (22nd) Morning - Delivery Wednesday 27th

Addresses in GB: (GB Couriers are closed Fri 22nd & Mon 25th, but re-open Tues 26th)
Orders placed on Wed Night, Thursday 21st or Friday 22nd (up til 3pm) - Delivery Tuesday 26th April
Orders placed between Friday Night & Tuesday 26th (up until 2pm) - Delivery Wednesday 27th. Unless a future date is specified or the standard delivery option has been picked. (Standard delivery means delivery will take place 2 days from the dispatch date)

Any European deliveries will simply be sent ASAP when the European courier re-opens on Tuesday 26th/Wednesday 27th, on the 3-5 working day service.

If this is all too confusing please just drop us an email to check!

Happy Easter!

Easter Gift Baskets

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 14:49:00 +0000

What a beautiful day it is today. Spring is truly here & Spring time makes me think of warmer days, pretty flowers and baby animals - lambs & chicks! Don't you think people seem to be happier too when there is a bit of sunshine around? Easter will soon be here too. Good Friday is the 22nd April this year, with Easter Sunday on the 24th & Easter Monday the 25th April.

Easter time is one of our favourites at BasketsGalore, as it goes hand-in-hand with baskets. They remind me of Easter Egg hunts especially! Easter baskets are also a great gift idea. For Easter 2011 we have introduced some new Easter gift baskets, some for children (or big kids!) and some for the whole family to enjoy!

As well as Easter Eggs, chocolates, lollipops and sweets you might find the Easter bunny himself! The goody basket is decorated in pretty ribbons & is then ready to be unwrapped by the lucky recipient! In our Family Easter baskets you will also find all these things, but with the addition of freshly baked cakes, flapjacks, muffins and cupcakes!

You can reserve your Easter gift basket now. Simly place your order & then pick a delivery date just before Easter. Couriers won't be delivering on the public holidays, so we advise picking a delivery day a few days in advance. Your gift arriving a bit early may help mums & dads to keep the kids entertained on the school holidays anyway!

If you think the kids may be all chocolated out, then maybe a children's activity gift basket would be more suitable. For the grown-ups simply take your pick of the many gorgeous gift hampers on offer!

Still Time For Mother's Day Delivery!

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:50:00 +0000

Hi All,

Just a quick update regarding Mother's Day deliveries. Still time to order for delivery before Sunday!

Lots of gorgeous Mother's Day gift baskets are already winging their way to mums across the UK & Ireland, after a busy day of dispatches today.

However, there is still time to order & have a gift basket of treats delivered on Friday (1st April). Just place your order tonight or before 3pm tomorrow (Thursday 31st March) and pick the 'next available day' delivery option. We will then dispatch your gift on an overnight delivery service. Unless of course the address is in the Highlands, Islands or an extended area, as delivery to these areas takes a little bit longer.

We may also be able to offer a Saturday delivery option for UK addresses. Couriers don't generally operate at weekends, but they will sometimes deliver on a Saturday morning for a slight surcharge (as it is not a standard service). Please get in touch by phone or email if you want to check if Saturday delivery is an option for your gift.

We will also be drawing our competition winner ASAP! Good luck!

Mother's Day Gift Baskets

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:13:00 +0000

I actually can't believe it is almost Mother's Day, as that means it is the end of March already! This year Mothers Day in the UK & Ireland is in April (Sunday 3rd), as it falls on the 4th Sunday of Lent. Other countries around the world celebrate Mothers Day on various different dates. The 2nd Sunday in May is one of the most popular days for Mother's Day celebrations.

We have so many new gift baskets on offer and many are just perfect for mums, so why not check out our Mother's Day gift range, as well as all the other girly gift baskets. Whether your mum is a chocoholic or a cheese & biscuits girl, someone who likes to be pampered or a traditional flowers or fruit lover, we like to think we have a little something for everyone!

We have also launched a competition on Facebook for a lucky mum to win a gorgeous gift basket, chosen especially for her. All you have to do is 'like' us on Facebook & then post a comment on our wall telling us why your mum deserves to win. Also include a link to the gift basket you would like to win for her. Easy! A winner will be announced early next week.

Mother's Day deliveries will be taking place on Thursday 31st March and Friday 1st April (April Fools!), as couriers do not deliver on Sundays. One of our couriers is Parcel Force & their drivers are allowed to leave the parcel with a neighbour or drop it at a local post office for collection if no-one is home to sign for the package. Please let us know if you would like your gift sent on this option, but allow 48 hours for the delivery. If you need the gift to arrive overnight, that is also no problem as we offer this service via DHL for the UK & Nightline for Irish deliveries.

So celebrate mums everywhere and send her that perfect pressie to make her day!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Baskets Galore) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:25:00 +0000

Happy St Patrick's Day everybody! We hope all you lucky people with the day off work are enjoying yourselves. Great to see the sun shining, spring is here!

The 17th March is a public holiday in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador & in Montserrat to celebrate Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the Patron Saints of Ireland. St Patricks Day is also celebrated all over the world, including countries such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea & Japan as there are many Irish immigrants & descendants there.

Typical celebrations include parades, parties & services around the world. We love how in Chicago the river is dyed green & the north White House fountain was also dyed green in 2009 & 2010. It is also a day of sporting activities with important rubgy, football, gaelic football & hurling matches taking place in Ireland. We love the idea of people dressed in green, eating, drinking and being merry! Apparently the original colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue! Over the years the colour green gradually grew in assocation and green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. (Wikipedia)

At BasketsGalore we have a wide range of St Patrick's Day gift baskets, as many of the items we stock are produced in Ireland by local artisan manufacturers.

We hope you enjoy celebrating today & tonight! We are certainly looking forward to having a celebratory Guinness later! Sláinte!
