Every year the Ross Family heads down to Franklin to take in the Dicken's of a Christmas two day event. I'm such a HUGE fan of The Christmas Carol and this event seems to kick off the holidays in earnest for me.
Here's a little video of the day...
For a little history on Franklin, TN.

Happy Holidays!!!
I know... it is hard to believe we are on the holiday count down... but as a corporate gift giver you are probably looking to ship by the week of December 10th...
Savor the season with gifts that promote good will and great relationships. Create memorable moments by giving a gift
that reflects great taste and warm wishes.
For a thoughtful gift that stands out from the rest, leave it to us!
I will help you select a beautifully-designed, custom-crafted gift to fit any need or budget. Each gift basket is made to order with fabulous gourmet snacks and sweets, and professionally wrapped with hand-tied ribbon.

Are You Making Your List and Checking it Twice?
The older I get the more I need to check that list!!! I'm always forgetting someone... which I have to say is horrible for a gift basket company owner... but life seems to be always moving at 90 miles an hour.
Here is a little help to make sure you remember everyone...
Mother
Father
Stepmother
Stepfather
Mother-in-law
Father-in-law
Daughter(s)
Son(s)
Sister(s)
Brother(s)
Aunt(s)
Uncle(s)
Niece(s)
Nephew(s)
Cousin(s)
Priest/Minister/Rabbi
Teacher(S)
Friend(s)
Neighbor(s)
Housekeeper
Secretary
Boss
Co-workers
Babysitter
Paper Carrier
Mail Carrier
Roommate(s)
Hairstylist
Manicurist
Unexpected Guests
Let's chat for just a minute about the unexpected guest. Small gift baskets are great for the unexpected guest OR for that last minute hostess gift. 3 items including a savory snack such as a pretzel mix, cookies, and a chocolate treat packaged in a tin or small basket are a great cost effective unisex gift to have on hand... and if you don't need it the snacks will come in handing in January!

Happy Halloween
I am a horror movie buff and always in-search of the next big scare... Paranormal Activity did NOT disappoint and I recommend this movie to anyone excited about indie films (I hear it cost between $11,000-$15,000 to make) and scary movies in general!
Movie tickets make a great corporate gift during the holidays, for a thank you or f
or team building. Plastic gift certificate cards can be packaged in a movie themed container with a bag of popcorn and a soda... I wouldn't leave out the opportunity for a little chocolate but that is just me!
55 days until Santa's visit!!!

Last weekend for Nashville Scarecrows...
Cheekwood in Nashville, TN hosts an amazing and creative display of scarecrows designed by local schools, business's and individuals.Along with the scarecrows you can take in the fall colors and gallery displays inside the main house. Memberships make a unique holiday gift to be enjoyed all year long.
Ideas for packaging the membership could be to include it in a picnic basket, inside a journal, or with a disposable camera...

Saving Time Saves Money
I remember a basket delivery last year... it was really close to an afternoon appointment and I thought I could save the client a little money if I dropped the gift off myself...
I left the meeting and headed to the drop off point... made it in record time and then spend over an hour finding my way back to the office!!! I saved the client a few dollars and cost myself over an hour of time.
I mention this because as you plan for your holiday gift giving know that there are professional gift designers out here to help save you time and ultimately the headache and frustration. I outsource my deliveries so I can focus on your gift design and you can focus on what drives your bottom dollar.
5 things to know when you're hiring a gift basket company
1. Budget - provide a range within $10 and note if the budget includes shipping and handling and tax.
2. Delivery date - most holiday corporate gifts go out the week of the Dec 10th. Planning ahead allows you to ship ground... the savings here can really add up
3. Themes or ideas - This could mean adding a special item or using a specific color. With a little of this and a little of that a custom look can be achieved without breaking the bank.
4. Messages for cards - This is a great way to further customize your gift. Messages can be added to gift tag or to the shipping box.
5. Payment - most custom projects require a deposit upfront. OBB Nashville takes a 50% deposit before physically creating the gifts, but the intial consultation and design are free.
Please let us know how we can help!

On A Tight Budget - Holiday Gift Ideas
The old saying goes that those who market their business during the tough times see tremendous growth during the good times...
A GREAT way to get your name in front of your customers one more time this year AND thank them for their business is to send a card. You can even get ahead of the curve and send it out in time for Thanksgiving... only my favorite time of the year!
My choice for custom cards is Birchcraft Studios. They are a family owned business celebrating over 80 years in business! Birchcraft offers a huge catalogue of designs and verses. A great product at a great price.
CLICK HERE to browse my card selection.
A fun addition to the card may be to include a package of hot chocolate or apple cider... it increases the postage slightly but increases the impact exponentially.
to your success!

Tennessee Book Festival - October 9th-11th
I love attending the book festival here in Nashville... last year I was all set to take in a reading from the poet Lisa Williams, when my 2 year old (I know totally my fault for bringing her) decided she wanted to climb the walls...
The Southern Festival of Books: A Celebration of the Written Word is free and open to the public. More than 200 authors will be on hand for readings, panel discussions and book signings.
Ideas for book lover gift baskets are endless. You can use themes taken from books themselves. Thanks to my neighbour, I'm currently into Sue Grafton novels so adding a magnify glass could do the trick. I love cook books... especially Southern US food and Italian themes. My favorite book lover basket is the rainy day in... with gourmet chocolate, tea and a book... depending on the budget you can include a throw. These are great thinking of you baskets and fun birthday and holiday gifts.
