10.11.2011 Torn Ranch Plum Tree

 

It's the perfect product to have around the holidays.  Torn Ranch's Ruby Red Plum Tree is an attractive gift but the best part is the taste.  These ruby red plum are absolutely delicious and your clients will rave about them!  Visit their website at www.tornranch.com.

I received these gorgeous and perfectly sized boxes for review but after further review of their website, this isn't their best product.  Wait until you see their themed globe chocolates.  They are perfect for city themed gifts and for the amount of San Francisco themed gift baskets I make, its going to be fun!


Empress Chocolates is out of Brooklyn, NY and each truffle is individually wrapped.  Their diamond box (shown above) is perfect for gift baskets. It's got a beautiful top that will show nicely with any collection of products.

07132011-2 Diane's Sweet Heat

These darling little jars showed up on my desk for review and I've gotta tell you, this is a party in a jar.  The Mango Habanero Jam is my favorite and size of the jar is ideal at just 5 oz for gift baskets.  I'll be using this in a variety of gift baskets including our Happy Hour, Hot & Spicy gift baskets and in May, our Cinco de Mayo gift basket.   Diane has more than just mango - she also offers blackberry, blueberry,  raspberry, strawberry  and peach.  The quality of this product from start to finish is fabulous and your customers will love it.  The only ingredients used are pure cane sugar, fruit, red bell peppers, habanero peppers, apple cider vinegar and fruit pectin. No artificial flavorings or colorings are used.

07132011 - Wine Country Soda

It's been a long time since a product has blown me out of the water and I've got to tell you - this is such a great gift basket item.  Vignette Wine Country Soda comes in three flavors:  Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Rose'.  It's non-alcoholic, bubbly and has a gorgeous bottle and label, is priced right and I can already see these in a wine gift basket.   The flavors of these sodas are so amazing that you're going to have a hard time keeping them in stock.

If you're looking for a fresh, new and exciting gift basket product, contact them and get your order in.  I'm crazy about this product and can't wait to spec them into my new designs.

If you're making summer time gift baskets, this is a great product to include.  Patrick's Sunscreen towelettes come in this small pocket pouches that slide perfectly in between products within your summer gift baskets.    They're sold in small quantities, prices perfectly and have attractive pricing perfect for our industry.   And, whats even better - the product itself is great.  I'm going to use these personally!  They smell great, aren't greasy and fit perfectly in my purse and beach bag.  Sunscreen "beyond the bottle".

05152011-6 Longhorn Imports - New Pink Golf Bag

As if the green golf bag wasn't cute enough, here comes Longhorn Imports with a pink version.  The first person to make this up and send me a hires photo will get into Trends and Tips Gift Basket Magazine!  I just love this design.  It's great for a sports gift for a lady golfer and amazingly wonderful for Breast Cancer Awareness month, activities/fundraisers related to breast cancer awareness.  A great thing about this bag is the amount of pockets and little areas where you can stuff products.

05152011-5 Cape Cod Provisions

I can't say enough positive things about Cape Cod's line of chocolate covered fruits.  They have a two new products including milk chocolate and dark chocolate covered strawberries as well as dark/milk and yogurt covered cranberries.  Typically, I just try a few but on these, I ate the entire bag.  The strawberries are so amazing in either chocolate and the cranberries are my new favorite.  Not only are the flavors delicious, the package is absolutely perfect for any type of gift basket.  It's an "A" frame box with about an inch base and the front of the box denotes the delicious fruit inside.
