Tax season is here!

by

Even though we all know it’s coming, it still seems to sneak upon us. Buried under the books and stacks of receipts and documents is where you’ll find your accountant. And, though the tax deadlines have been extended (wahoo!), so has our accountant’s time. Every year they are taxed (excuse the pun) to the max, but especially this year. With all the changes and updates of 2020, they have stayed on their toes to help our families and businesses. My hat goes off to those brave souls who tackle their own taxes, but tax professionals are a great necessity for the rest of us, especially business owners. 


Some people are more challenging than others to buy gifts for. Accountants can fall into the challenging category, maybe because they are naturally very particular and precise people. They also have an excellent eye for details and a significant distaste for anything wasteful or inefficient. Let’s show them our appreciation in return. Surprise your accounting firm with a Tax Season Survival Care Package, full of the necessities to help them endure the hustle and bustle of tax season, and make tax time just a little sweeter. Or maybe you are an accountant yourself and would like to say thank you to your clients for all the work they have given you. Either way, we have the perfect gift. 

The Personal Gift Basket Company can’t help you with your accounting needs, but we can help you with all your gifting needs. We are committed to creating and delivering artisan, high-quality gift baskets, gift boxes, and care packages to the people who matter to you. We can hand-deliver or ship your surprise and put a smile on their face and give them a reason to step away from the desk for just a moment. Tax season is the perfect time for a not-so-random act of kindness.

Benefits of Adding a Client Gifting Program

by

Your client has chosen you, your product, or service for a reason. You stood out to them from the sea of competition. Today, it’s getting harder for consumers to decide who to do business with. So much competition readily available can be challenging to find the right company. Clients want to feel confident in knowing they have made the right choice in choosing your company. Gifting can be an excellent way for your clients to further connect with you and your brand. Gifts are not just about the items in the container; it’s so much more than that; they help you stay top of mind and help your client feel valued and appreciated. Yes, you can have good relationships with your clients without adding a gifting program, but why not have great ones with one. 
Below I break down three of the top gifting goals my clients want to achieve when creating a gifting program. 

  • Getting the Word Out: Rebranding your business or starting a new marketing campaign is a perfect time to start a gifting program to share and generate positive buzz. A branded box or crate with items to help your clients celebrate with you is an excellent way to share the exciting news. 
  • Make it Personal: At the beginning of most client relationships, it’s your business to understand your client better. Getting to know the client doesn’t stop there though, it’s a perpetual process. Taking the valuable information gained from communicating with your client and gifting them items that have special meaning helps make the relationship more personal and adds extra value.
  • Client Experience: Differentiating yourself from the sea of competition can be difficult. Many of my clients want to create a memorable experience for their clients. This experience can look like sending an onboarding gift to welcome the client when they open a new account or a thank you gift for a referral. 

Thanks to social media, we have pretty much every business at the click of a button. You don’t have to build relationships or even speak to anyone anymore. The beauty of the relationship is being stripped away by our desire for convenience and time. There is a considerable need for more personal service. Clients are starving for it but have no clue they are. It’s time to go back to a simpler time when knowing your client’s names mattered, and lastly, building valuable relationships was the goal. 
Whether you work with a custom gifting company like The Personal Gift Basket Co. or choose to create your gifts in-house, it’s one of the best things you can do for your business.

Last Minute Galentine’s Day Ideas

by

As you are all aware, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, but before we all celebrate that special day with our significant others, there is Galentine’s Day! Galentine’s day is a relatively new holiday. How did it come to be, you ask?

For those who are unfamiliar with this holiday, it falls on the day before Valentine’s Day,  February 13th. It was created to be a day to celebrate, embrace and support the power of female friendships. A little history about Galentine’s Day: it was season 2 (episode 16, to be exact) of the iconic sitcom Parks and Recreation in 2010, where the holiday got its origin. Since that episode, girlfriends worldwide are showing love to each other on this day. So how can you show some love to your sista-friends? Below, I’m sharing five fun and easy ways to make your girls feel valued, loved and appreciated. 

Ice Cream Potluck

We all know how potlucks take planning and a lot of it! But with an ice cream potluck, it can be as easy as going to the store and picking up your favorite ice cream flavors, cones and toppings and sharing with your besties. To make it even more delicious, you can always add in your favorite cookies and brownies. 

Sleepover

We can all remember back to those sleepovers with your BFF’s, how much fun did we have; we still remember some of those nights. Make Galentine’s Day your annual girlfriend sleepover. It doesn’t have to stop now that you’re all grown up. Invite the girls over or rent a hotel suite and have a fantastic night together. Put on your favorite PJs, binge watch all the chick flicks your heart desires. Laugh till you cry and cry till you laugh with your girlfriends. to make it even more special, make it a “no cell phone” zone, giving your full undivided attention to your girls. 

Wine Tasting

Raise your glass and toast your amazing girlfriends this Galentine’s Day. You don’t need to visit an actual winery to have a little fun tasting wine! Gather your besties and head to a wine bar. Wine bars are sometimes paired with excellent restaurants, making for a fun, full evening of delicious food, sweet desserts, and drinks.

Important side note: PLEASE drink and have fun responsibly. 

Bake Desserts

Get your favorite Pinterest dessert recipes, your cute apron, and have a fun bake-off with your galentines. Baking can be fun, and the results are delicious! Whether you buy a box mix or make your sweets from scratch, it’s sure to be a great time together. And the biggest treat is getting to share your baked goods with each other. 

Pizza Party

Nothing says party like hot pizza! Add your girls, your favorite pizza, salad, and breadsticks, and you are set! Make your time together even more fun, make your crust from scratch and add lots of toppings to your pizzas. Everyone can make their personal pan pizza, and you can also share your pie creations. Be casual or get dressed up – but we all love a good slice of pizza. 

Gender Reveal Announcements!

by

From the positive pregnancy test to hearing your baby’s first cry, there is nothing more joyful and exhilarating than bringing a little life into the world. There are so many ways to share the fantastic news of your growing family with others, and gender reveals have become the go-to for sharing the sex of the baby. Over 50% of parents want to know the sex of their baby before birth, so you’re not alone in wanting to be prepared for team girl or team boy.  

At The Personal Gift Basket Co, we want to help you make this memorable moment everything you want it to be. We love being part of your celebrations, and nothing gets us more excited than babies! We want to help make your announcement special. We will create your beautiful gifts in the specified color choice and ship them out to your family and friends’ list. Adding special touches like little onesies that announce, “You’re going to be an aunt or uncle,” make the gifts even more special. We’ll even make sure to add a sticker to the outside of the shipping box that instructs them not to open until the reveal date. 

During this time of social distancing, getting together to celebrate the great news like this can be challenging for large groups but can still be done. Gather your loved ones in-person or online, and have them open their boxes together.  

Let us help you announce your little bundle of joy, making it one your family and friends won’t forget. (Your secret is safe with us!)
