Classy Corporate Food Gifts

Tessa — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:30:12 +0000

In my years here at Allison’s I’ve seen businesses and organizations give gourmet corporate food gifts for all kinds of special occasions. Health-conscious, animal-friendly and ecologically responsible businesses give our gift baskets, gift sets and samplers to their employees, contributors and business partners for everything from hirings and promotions to generous donations and jobs well done. These savvy businesses have discovered that, with Allison’s Gourmet, corporate food gifts don’t have to be cheesy, literally or figuratively. Our heart-healthy, animal-free and spectacularly tasty treats are packaged in elegant, 100% recycled gift boxes or baskets that will look beautiful adorning a desk or lunch table. (But we doubt they’ll be sitting there for long!)

Gift Baskets, Gift Sets and Samplers: Classy Corporate Gifts for Everyone

Tessa — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 17:30:52 +0000

There’s this kind of weird concept that floats around during the holiday season called the corporate food gift, which, I have to admit, sounds pretty unappetizing and not like anything I’d want to receive as a gift. I only mention it because, around this time of year, companies, business partners and colleagues tend to send each other these baskets full of stale crackers, gross cheese and greasy salami. Now, if you, or someone you know, sends corporate food gifts for the holidays, I’m here to tell you, there’s a better way!

Allison’s Gourmet is revitalizing the corporate food gift, and the first thing we’re doing is changing the name! Our Gift Baskets, Gift Set, and Samplers make elegant, vegan gifts that companies and businesses can be proud to send to all their partners and clients. Healthier for you, packaged more beautifully and sustainably, and more animal and planet friendly than other gifts you might send or receive, our organic, fair-trade goodies are guaranteed to have everyone oohing and ahhing with delight!

Question: What name would you suggest for this kind of gift?

Personalized Corporate Gift Giving

Most people love sweet treats, especially when they’re surprisingly delicious and high quality. We offer a variety of elegant sweets fitting that description and making excellent corporate food gifts including, cookie and brownie samplers, confectionery gift sets and gorgeous gift baskets. They’re perfect for sharing around the office or as gifts to business partners and associates. Since they’re vegan, they contain no cholesterol and they’re also organic and fair-trade, so everyone can feel good about enjoying them. We love personalizing our corporate food gifts with hand-written gift cards and either gift wrap, for the samplers and sets, or a variety of basket filling colors for our elegant gift baskets.

Our New Look

If you’ve received orders from us recently, you may have noticed that our look is changing. The new website was the first step, and now we’re upgrading our packaging as well. We’re already phasing in our luscious new lavender embossed purple chocolate boxes, and soon we’ll be introducing gorgeous new gift boxes, post cards and gift cards, too. A few other things have also changed. Our hot cocoa is now called drinking chocolate, many of our gift baskets, gift sets and samplers have new looks as well as new names, and coming soon, all of our products will have lovely new labels. So, keep an eye out for your next order, our new look is coming to life, one piece at a time.
