Gift baskets provide a high level of customization, either through choosing a pre-made basket or building one from scratch online or in person in consultation with one of Vincenzo’s talented designers.

If you do decide to take the time to customize, you can make almost anything you want. Begin by picking the basket, followed by all the food inside. Make it as cost effective or extravagant as you would like to fit your budget. Base your choices around a theme or just fill it with what you know your recipient would appreciate.

If your gift receiver has any dietary restrictions, or you are unsure of any allergies - no problem. Any gift basket can be modified to fit any limitations you may have. Vincenzo's website allows you to filter based on a particular dietary restriction or you can come in and speak to a basket designer in person to choose the options that fit your needs. You can make it fully keto, gluten free, or just exclude peanuts because you are buying one for a whole office and want to ensure no one is left out of enjoying what the basket has to offer.

It is simple while showing you care about who you are buying for.

Gift baskets also provide an easy way to show appreciation for a whole office or team without spending the time to individualize each gift. Buying your sales team, a gift for making the biggest sale of the year is a great idea however, it can be difficult and time consuming. If you have a larger team, buy a larger basket or multiple baskets with a variety of options and tasty treats for everyone to share. If you have a smaller team, buy them individual sample baskets or one large basket to share and pick at it over the course of a few days.

Works For All Occasions

Gift baskets have been widely used as a Holiday staple for many years due to the influx of marketing during the Holiday season and their use in popular media. However, they are not just for the Holidays anymore. Gift baskets can be used for all occasions such as a show of appreciation when your company signs a new client, the promotion or retirement of a star employee, or even to celebrate a big win for the top team.

 

Because the baskets vary so widely from size and theme it makes it an easy gift for any business occasion. They allow you to show your recipient how much they are valued and how well you know them by getting them something they can enjoy for themselves or with friends and family. They provide you with the opportunity to give someone a simple yet thoughtful gift for any occasion. Due to their customizability, they allow you to add extra items like cards, company swag, or a nice bow on top to fit whatever occasion you are gifting it for.

Providing That Personal Touch

When buying a gift for a client or employee you want it to feel personal, that you care, however, making a gift too personal may seem too unprofessional.

When gift giving, you don’t want to be perceived as cold and uncaring especially when buying for someone of importance. You want them to feel thought of and appreciated. Sending company swag, while a nice way to get your company logo out there, is not always the best gift when you want to make someone feel special and cared for. Alternatively, you do not want to be overtly personal by sending a hand painted portrait of yourself.

A great gift to send will always be a gift basket. They provide the ability for personalization making your corporate client or employee feel comfortable without seeming too professional. A theme can be chosen based on your recipient’s interests demonstrating that you care about and listened to them. Gifting your client with an Italian themed basket because they had mentioned they had always wanted to travel to Italy, is a great way to show you care.

That is not to say you still cannot include company swag such as a company branded ribbon on the basket, a mug, t-shirt, or even pens within the basket or alongside it as a bonus. This way your company name is still being represented and displayed while still showing your recipient that you care. Gift baskets provide you with the flexibility to gift everyone something you know they will enjoy.

Budget and Size Friendly

Working within the confines of a budget can be difficult especially when gift giving is involved. Gift baskets provide you with the flexibility to change them based on your budget or the size of gift you need. With the wide variety of items gift baskets can contain and the ability to make them as big or small as you need, they become the perfect gift for any budget.

The baskets can be bought in all shapes and sizes allowing you to spend as little or as much as you like without having to compromise on quality or significance. On our website you can filter by the price point you want, or you can visit us in store and speak to one of our amazing designers who can help you to find something special to fit your needs.

Trying to purchase a gift for a signing partner can come with higher standards and the expectations of a bigger budget; this does not have to make the gift buying process any harder. If you are looking into buying a gift for a top new client you can grab a basket towards a higher price point, featuring some harder to obtain artisanal goods. If your top employee is retiring you can purchase them a smaller, more individualized basket, spending less due to the size but still showing your appreciation with the incredible curated foods inside.

Vincenzo’s gift baskets are a simple and fast way to purchase a customisable gift that any recipient would be happy to receive. Speak with our gift basket designers to get started on customising your basket today.
