Perfect Gifts for Mother’s Day

Have a special Mom to buy a gift for? Isn’t every Mom special? Wouldn’t it be nice to find something as special as she is? Every Mom is wonderfully unique and a gift chosen for her should try to celebrate that simple fact. I have found that the gifts that indulge her or acknowledge her individuality are the most appreciated and loved. She will appreciate something personal and unique more than anything else. Perfection exists in every Mom and she should be celebrated with a perfect gift.

Some of the most imaginative and special gifts for Mom can be found online. You might choose an intimate spa gift basket which is all about indulging her when she bathes. Or, maybe choose any of the gift baskets for women on display. Or, you might just think an occasion gift such as a travel gift basket would be more appropriate. Whatever you choose, you will have one happy and thankful Mom! Wouldn’t that be a perfectly great situation?

Have you noticed that there is really a lack of specialty items, many seem to copy each other and you end up spending more and more time looking and reading about different gift possibilities and as the time goes by, you start to have a sinking feeling that you be settling for someone else’s idea of what a special gift should be. That’s not a good feeling. It is accepting that you have failed in your quest to find a unique gift for her and you will end up getting something that may be nice, but it really doesn’t have the pizazz that you were hoping for.

I suggest you try one more idea. A gift collection. Not just one gift, but a set of gifts that is bound to be more special than a single gift. I have been looking at Mother’s Day gift baskets and have decided that they are one of the best gift ideas that will really make an impression on Moms. A set of items, such as spa or bath items is one idea that always seems to be a big hit. Or, a gourmet gift basket with an interesting assortment of goodies. They are indulgent, fun, and show the care that you have for her.

When you are looking for gift sets for her, look for a store that allows you to customize a collection for her. Look around and get some ideas from the beautiful packages that are already out there and then put together a custom gift basket for Mother to really get personal and put this gift in the unforgettable category.  You can make every occasion one to remember when you can combine your own ideas with some of theirs. A customized solution will allow for the use of your ideas and the store should interact with you until the gift is just right.

www.ThoughtfulPresence.com has collections which are classified by occasion, by recipient, by theme, by holiday and then an entire collection of gourmet type gift sets. Any of these collections might just help find the key to a Mother’s heart. When you are celebrating Mother’s Day you can pick something and know she will love it. 

Time to Spring a Gift on Someone Special

Chicago’s winter can be a long, cold and harsh season which seems to go on and on. February and March can be just as bad as December and January except that you know that March and April are on their way. The first hope of spring can be when the baseball season begins. The Sox and Cubs start playing in Arizona and it is like seeing the first robin redbreast of the year. As hope springs eternal, the spirit seems to be reborn just as the first buds start showing in the ground. For the special people on your list in Chicago, sending a themed Chicago gift basket such as our special Chicago Cubs set is a special way to jump start their spring hope.

As the earth begins to warm and the ice and snow give way to the early buds of springs, Chicago’s gardeners are springing into action, preparing seedlings and the soil and dreaming about the growing season that is just ahead. One thing we know is that gardeners on your list would love to get spring gift baskets such as gardening gift baskets, which would help them to shrug off the winter doldrums and concentrate on the start of the gardening seasons.  

Another sure sign of spring is when people take the covers off their grills, clean them up, and fire them up for the first time of the year. For those folks, barbeque gift baskets are the only way to go. Imagine the joy of getting a gift that celebrates the joy of grilling with special tools and sauces for them.

Can’t find just the right spring gift for that someone special? When looking around, think custom! Custom gift baskets can be put together very easily with the right partner. Start with a company who knows “gifting” and specializes in customizing their offerings to your specifications. Say you want to celebrate a birthday – start with a gardening gift collection and then just start adding your own ideas to it. Or, take ideas from all the themes of spring – gardening, spring, BBQ, or Chicago Cubs and combine them in a way that is total unique. What a thoughtful gift! Hey, come to think of it, we might just have to gift ourselves with a collection like that!

Baby Showers are Such Joyous Times

 

Baby showers are special. There is such an air of excitement that occurs when a woman is expecting a baby and is the guest of honor at a baby shower. Nowadays, it is a common occurrence that the father of the baby is also there. What kind of gift should you give these expectant parents to celebrate the upcoming birth? There are many ways to go. You can get the baby some clothes, some toys, a layette, diaper pad, blankets, or any number of items for the baby. This is the typical thing to do. Or, you could get something for the mother or for both parents instead. Either way, it is a time to give something to celebrate the new life and should be a joyous occasion for the giver as well as the recipient. The diversion of a baby shower is great for everyone, especially the expectant mother.

When you go to a baby shower, you may usually consider getting the baby a blanket or a cute outfit. A baby shower gift basket would be a much more memorable present since it would contain personalized items for the baby and his or her family. Why not choose a gift that would stand out among gifts and help welcome that new boy or girl into the world? Why not consider baby gift baskets containing an assortment of items for not only the baby, but for the parents and families of the baby? A personalized gift would be much more appreciated and useful for the recipients.

How about a baby gift which would contain an item or two for the new mother in addition to the items obviously for the baby? A gift basket for her would be such a memorable and indulgent way to celebrate the new mom and to show them her much you care.

Don’t think you can find a personalized gift to celebrate the birth? Start by looking at a few of the gift collection offerings at Thoughtful Presence. Each one of their baskets are so well thought out that you could easily pick one for each new baby and never regret a single choice. Or, get creative. You can start with the ideas you see and start thinking of what you think would be even more personal for your recipient. Remember that this store is known for their custom gift baskets, which means that your ideas can be incorporated into the ideas you see, or you can work with Thoughtful Presence to completely design a unique gift collection of items that represent you or the parents in a more personal way. A new mother to be who has had a struggle with her pregnancy might need a little more TLC and might appreciate a basket full of gourmet items or bath items for her. Let your imagination work along with the helpful folks at Thoughtful Presence to make sure that you pick exactly what you want included to show your love!

Corporate Chicago Gift Giving

Chicago Corporations are looking for ways to reward employees that go beyond the salary or pay. These rewards and recognitions are a key to a happier, more productive work force. Did you know that many of the best employees thrive in an environment where they are appreciated? Yet, many companies don’t realize that there are simple and effective ways of recognizing employees that don’t cost that much, but do contribute to an employee’s sense of worth and appreciation. When a great employee is singled out and rewarded in an open way, all employees benefit because they see that the company does appreciate and reward excellence at work. Managers spend a lot of time trying to balance salary and work happiness but many are unaware that the recognition can plan an important role in job satisfaction.  Many Chicago companies realize that a happy employee is more productive, more loyal, and has better attendance and attitude than an unhappy employee. Obviously, pay and rewarding work are important factors in an employee’s happiness but sometimes the missing ingredient is just acknowledgement for a job well done. The best employers acknowledge and embrace methods that make for more job satisfaction as that is a key ingredient in more productive work by their employees. A recognition can be as simple as an employee of the month posting or as complex as a corporate communication highlighting the employees work. Smart companies also provide a reward of some sort, and it doesn’t have to be a monetary award. Gifts as simple as a gift certificate, parking privileges, movie passes, and/or a company t-shirt celebrating the employee’s contribution.  

Many of the best rewards are ones that an employee could take home and enjoy with their family. Things like a restaurant coupon or theater tickets were the simplest form but a custom corporate gift basket or a corporate gourmet gift basket would have to be the best and most appreciated idea for a reward. What is a custom corporate gift basket? Well, it would be a collection of gifts or foods, combined with company promotional materials (t-shirts, mugs, binders, pens, etc.). Think of how nice corporate gifts would be to bring home to share with the family. The best part for the employee is explaining to the family it was for a job well done. Chicago themed gift baskets are another outstanding choice as a reward. Any of these gift basket ideas can be customized for a particular company, job, or functional area, making them not only a great “perk” but seemingly the perfect nod to that outstanding effort. Unique company gift baskets can be made to order and delivered weekly, if desired, right to your company for an ongoing rewards and recognition program that will have an impact on employee productivity and job satisfaction.

Wondering how to customize a gift basket for your employees? Just contact the folks at www.thoughtfulpresence.com and give them the general idea that you have and you will be delighted at what they can put together for your special recognition award. Don’t wait to show your best employees how much you value their contribution to your company’s success.   

Custom Gifts are always Appreciated the Most

Custom gifts are the best gift to give for any occasion. Whether you are looking for special occasion gifts, holiday gifts, or just an “I love you” gift. Because you spend the time to send a gift that no one else would ever send, you will be remembered for that for a long time. Of course, it must be “custom” in a great way – selected with the recipient fully in mind. When you give a gift, you want the person to love it and to think that it is custom and perfect. Give a collection of things in a custom gift basket to break all barriers and go over the top. People are so individual so shouldn’t a gift for them at least try to be individualized too? When you give a distinct and unique custom gift, it will bring warmth and happiness. Happiness is very good.

So, what makes a “great” custom gift? The great part of it is subjective. What does the recipient love? What does he do to enjoy himself? What does he do when he has spare time? If you have answers to some of these questions, you can select the theme of the gift. A good idea for a gardener is a gift that celebrates or helps him in the garden. Check out this custom gardening gift basket for an example. A good idea for someone who loves to laugh might be a whimsical collection. An idea for a music lover might be a music related gift. You get the idea.

So, what makes a great gift a great “custom” gift? Custom means that it is custom designed for the person or people it is given to. It should be distinctive or one-of-a-kind. So, perhaps a very rare or hard to find piece or a collection of things related to the “great” theme? The set of items, or gift basket, allows you to give several items at once, that all add up to “custom”.

Unique Gifts are always the Right Choice

When you give a distinct gift, it will bring happiness. Happiness is very good.

A good idea for someone who loves to laugh might be a whimsical collection. An idea for a music lover might be a music related gift. You get the picture, right?

Indulgent Gifts for the Woman You Love and Care About

Looking for just the right gift for a woman? Many people are. People look on the internet every day for “gifts for her” or “gifts for a woman” or a myriad of other terms looking for just the right way to express their care. Whether it is for a birthday, an anniversary, Valentine’s day, a housewarming, a hostess gift, a special occasion, or just as a surprise “Love you!” gift, the number of searches for these on Google and other online search portals continues to grow as people have more options online and less time offline.   

Have you noticed that there is really a lack of specialty items, many seem to copy each other and you end up spending more and more time looking and reading about different gift possibilities and as the time goes by, you start to have a sinking feeling that you be settling for someone else’s idea of what a special gift should be.
