A Place to Find Organic Goods for Gift Baskets

September 24, 2008 · Filed Under Green Trends · 5 Comments 

Are customers interested in gift baskets that include organic and eco-friendly products?

I wasn’t sure about this category, as I hadn’t spoken to many designers receiving requests from clients for these items. But then two things let me know that interest is beginning to increase.

1. This past summer, the California Gift Show asked me to talk about green gift baskets, and lots of retailers were interested in the products I displayed.

2. Gifts & Decorative Accessories asked me to write a gift basket article which featured some designers who successfully sell environmentally-friendly baskets.

The new site, Organic Wholesale Supplies, lists hundreds of wholesalers selling products to put into your gift baskets now, during the holidays, and in designs you create in 2009 (starting with Happy New Year baskets).

I was pleased to see, throughout the listings, that many items aren’t as expensive as first believed.

Lots of wholesalers sell waters, snacks, and clothing that are affordable in everyday baskets as well as more-expensive items for clients who want quality over price.

Which organic goods will you begin adding to your gift baskets?
