Now some small business owners run specials on the November's Small Business Saturday to help capitalize on this awareness (appreciatively), the boost in foot or ... Read More

Gift Cards don’t suck!

When gift cards first hit the mass market they were given a bad rap; people thought they were an 'easy out' gift.

(Stay tuned for my Big Aha Gift Card Tip at the bottom) I am sure you have been on the end of a bad gift... for example being given yet ... Read More

At my work, I get the fun task of organizing client gifts. I discovered... Vancouver Gift Baskets during a search when I was looking for a gift and was immediately drawn to the local flavours and items they incorporate in their baskets. I have now ordered a number of baskets because I am getting the most wonderful reviews from our clients, they absolutely love them! They are so beautiful, support local, and I really like how I can customize them to suit the client. Additionally, the customer service is 10/10, they go above and beyond. I am very grateful to Carole and her team, and I look forward to continuing to support the business. Thank you!read more

My husband ordered for next day delivery and the owner delivered 5 days later... with excuses they were closed for 2 days (no mention of this on the website).No refund for the next day delivery was given even after it was pointed out to her, she just ignored the e-mail with no follow up and kept the extra money he paid for next day delivery!Good gift baskets but horrible business practices.read more
