Cheer Baskets are the New Get Well
One of the first lessons I teach at gift basket classes comes as a warning when creating get well baskets.
I suggest to budding designers that they omit certain edible products that may put the receiver back in the hospital. Alternatives to traditional gift basket contents are soups, teas, puzzles, and books.
A recent article published in Courant.com focuses on get well baskets. They interview several designers that create “baskets of cheer.”
Photos aren’t available, but I believe you’ll appreciate the background and insights on what makes their baskets unique and appealing, especially since it’s sometimes difficult to decide what to put in comforting gifts.
I explain product and design options for get well baskets in this video.
Is “baskets of cheer” a better way to say “get well baskets?” Before changing your theme’s name, consider what customers will think. If they understand the meaning of “get well” more than they understand “baskets of cheer,” then don’t change the name.
When making get well baskets or other themes, make sure you know how customers will pay ahead of time. That’s the weekend subject at Ask The Gift Basket Expert.
