Gift Baskets, Gift Sets and Samplers: Classy Corporate Gifts for Everyone
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?
Gift Sets: Perfect Treats, All Wrapped Up
Our gourmet gift sets have been gaining popularity recently, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Deliciously decadent without being junk food, and elegant but not overwhelming, these Gift Sets make excellent fair-trade gifts to express your love and appreciation for friends, loved ones and colleagues. 
Besides the obvious Chocolate Lover’s Gift Set, we also offer a Classic Vanilla Lover’s Gift Set for those with more traditional tastes. For the more adventurous types, try the exciting Spice Lover’s Gift Set.
Other luscious fair-trade gifts for you to choose from include Organic Tea, Coffee and Drinking Chocolate Samplers.
Gift Baskets: Super-Deluxe Samplers in Pretty Packaging
Check out the gorgeous new packaging we finally have for our vegan gift baskets! Instead of different flavors of one kind of product, as you get with our Organic Tea or Just Cookies Samplers, our vegan gift baskets offer an elegant sampling of many of our products and are perfect for larger groups or for those who want to try a wide variety of our products. 
We have two gourmet coffee gift baskets which include either a four-flavor organic coffee sampler or a 12 oz bag of our superlative Peruvian Femenino coffee beans, as well as several flavors of cookies, brownies, fudge and confections all in one beautiful basket. These gourmet coffee gift baskets are the ideal way to spice up a social event or get an idea about your family’s favorite delicacies before birthdays and holidays come around.
Tips for Shipping in the Summer Heat
Ordering perishable items in the summer can be a bit of a pain. You either have to order chill packs and faster shipping, which means more money, or you risk receiving melted and/or spoiled products. However, you can minimize this hassle for yourself by ordering products that are less perishable and more hearty when it comes to heat exposure. Our Classic and Spiced Peanut Brittle, Classic Almond Toffee, and individually-wrapped Caramels, for example, will ship well without being adversely effected by the summer heat. Our fresh-baked cookies and brownies, are actually surprisingly good at enduring high temperatures as well. Sealed in their plastic bags they won’t go stale or spoil even with our slowest shipping method (which is only 3-4 days). Ordering flavors without chocolate chips also makes your life easier, although the chips and the cookies are no worse for some melted chocolate, just perhaps a bit messier. Coffee, Tea and Drinking Chocolate are other obvious choices for summer shipping, although you may need to remind your recipient that these drinks are as delicious served iced as they are hot.
For heat-friendly gift combos, look no further than our Classic Vanilla Lover’s and Spice Lover’s Gift Sets which include Toffee, Caramels and Peanut Brittle, or our Cookie, Brownie, and Beverage Samplers.
If you do decide to order a more perishable item, especially one containing chocolate, we strongly encourage you to include the recommended chill pack in your order as well as choosing FedEx 2-day air shipping, as our chill packs only remain cold for 2 days.
PS. For those of you wondering about your monthly club orders, today is a shipping holiday, so we will be shipping all the monthly clubs tomorrow, for delivery later in the week.
