Baskets Galore Ireland

Good afternoon bloggers, we hope you are all well. It's been a while since our last post but we hope you've been keeping up to date via Facebook & Twitter . Spring is always a busy time for us here at BasketsGalore, as there are quite a few upcoming occasions. After the extremely busy Christmas & New Year period, we have a little bit more time to breathe & so begin the process of creating lovely, new gift baskets! This tends to begin with Valentine's Day on 14th February. We find our romantic gift baskets are particularly popular as presents for men, perhaps as they say the way to a mans heart is via his stomach! BasketsGalore's Valentine's Day 2014 range included complimentary romantic gift wrap, a personalised gift card & silk red rose. After Valentine's Day we have a bit of a gap until St Patrick's Day on 17th March. We don't have to create lots of special St Patrick's Day themed baskets as the majority of our food is s...

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...

Spring is a busy time for us in Basket land as we get a little run of occasions in a short time period. The romantic Valentine's Day , followed by St Patrick's Day , Mother's Day and shortly afterwards Easter ! All of which are best celebrated with a gorgeous gift basket of course! For 2012 we have created a new range of holiday gift baskets for you to enjoy. I have included a selection of them below, but please do see our website for lots more ideas. And as ever if you don't see the perfect gift basket you can always create your own ! Delivery is available all over Ireland and the UK. We also have some great shipping rates to Europe too.

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day! It could well be time to dust the old barbeques off! A bit of warmer weather has arrived & people seem to be a lot happier when there is a bit of sunshine around! Spring has sprung which means 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 is one of our favourites times at BasketsGalore, as it goes hand-in-hand with baskets. They remind me of Easter picnics & Easter Egg hunts! Easter baskets are also a great gift idea. For Easter 2011 we have introduced lots of 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...
