Fresh, Fabulous and under $30!

Posted in Business Gifts, Cake and Cookies, Chocolate, Edible Gifts, Fruit, Gift Baskets, Gifts under $30, Gifts under $75, Gourmet Shopping, Thank You Gifts, Valentines for Her, Valentines for Him at 7:27 pm by Deb Savvy

A wonderful thank you gift for a client has always been tough to find for under $30. The problem is that these days it’s frequently just not appropriate or possible to spend much more than that. $30 just doesn’t usually buy that much. And a $30 gift basket usually just doesn’t make much of an impression and usually looks kind of junky. We’ve found a GREAT exception to this rule.


Medium Drizzle Strawberries Gift box

From: CCB Radiance LLC

This delectable assortment of 6 hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries and 6 hand dipped freshly baked Madeline cookies is available at CCB Radiance LLC for only $29.99.

A great deal, isn’t it? That’s quite a lot of ‘wow’ and ‘yum’ for only $30. And quite a luxe vibe, too.

You’ll find their gift baskets are just as impressive at higher price points as well, with lots of options for bountiful gift packages of dozen hand dipped treats or more for well under $75.


1 Dz Chocolate Covered Pears – $ 69.99

UPDATED 2/1/2009 WITH IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Another one bites the dust! In the last few days we have learned that The Ultimate Rose has ceased all marketing operations in order to restructure. Sounds bad for a florist just before Valentine’s Day – so we suggest you shop elsewhere.

Sometimes it IS about the Packaging

Like the beautiful and refillable chocolate boxes from zChocolat.com . Specifically designed to present these ultra-haute delicacies in appropriately luxurious manner, the packaging options are utterly exquisite.

The Romance of Reading

Posted in Books, Gifts, Valentines for Her, Valentines for Him at 4:55 am by Deb Savvy

Alibris

Don’t overlook the bookstores next time you’re shopping for a gift for your sweetheart. There are actually quite a few wonderful gift ideas in those stacks. And no, I’m not suggesting you grab the latest pulp fiction best seller off the paperback list. Like any terrific gift – the best book gifts are personally significant and just a tad indulgent.

Logo w/ Border 125x125

Perhaps a history of Harley Davidson for a motorcycle enthusiast. Or a book of vintage couture fashion photographs for a designer diva. The collected works of a favorite painter. The art and architecture of a favorite city.

BookCloseOuts.com

Think outside the box and you’re sure to come up with something personal and truly perfect. Don’t be afraid to look at used and out-of-print items. Most art books and so-called coffee table books are published in relatively limited editions and are remaindered out of the big book superstores quite quickly.
