Flowers are great, but they do have a number of limitations. More is not often better and their popularity makes them dominate the gift occasion to such an extent that there are only so many flowers that one wants to receive.

Thats where Basketsgalore applies its imagination to create innovative gifts with a bigger wow impact than flowers.  There are a lot of synergies between florists and gift basketeers.  Both require a high degree of artistic skill in presentation and arranging. Whereas the florist will demonstrate their skill with flowers and greenery, the gift basketeer arguably has a much more difficult job. Not only do they have to create arrangements of many different products with their mismatching shapes colours and weights, they also have so many logistical considerations such as fragility, transportation issues. They are also the intense pressure of continuously creating a uniform professional finish unlike flowers whereby a degree of artistic license is expected.

For Mothers Day approximately half of all Gifts leaving the Warehouse will include one of our little Potted Pink Rose Plants.  They aren’t expensive and they are beautifully wrapped.  They complement the contents of some of our most popular Gift Baskets for Mothers Day.  Whilst our  plants arrive twice per week all year around, the week of Mothers Day sees a huge influx of Pink and Fuchsia coloured plants. Each one has to sit in water for 24 hours to ensure it reaches the optimal moisture level for transportation. Then each morning a batch are selected for processing, which essentially means they are wrapped, bowed, ribboned and set in protective carded bags.

The result for the recipient is really the best of both worlds. The Flowering Plant in many ways acts as a safe seque into the World of Gift Baskets. Many customers will use the Gift Baskets in this range to effectively hedge their bets so to speak. What is being sent is not that dissimilar from a large bouquet of flowers except that it is more practical.  Perhaps they want to combine the Mothers Day Gift from the florist and from the store conveniently into one package.

Whatever the reasons for selecting a Flowering Gift Basket such as the Leading Ladies Lifestyle Gift, you can be certain that a lot of love care and attention has gone into making it so perfectly that you Mum will absolutely love it.
