GiftBasketsOverseas.com brings Women’s Day celebrations to the USA & the world with gift baskets and global education

 

ARLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — GiftBasketsOverseas.com, the experts in international gift delivery, is now campaigning to remind the west that International Women’s Day is still alive and kicking, and to deliver gifts to Russian customers who are already beginning to celebrate. Each year, on March 8th, different regions in Russia, CIS, Brazil, UAE, and around the world focus on the incredible accomplishments of women in history and daily life. Celebrants will be offering gifts and fresh flowers to their mothers, sisters, daughters, spouses, and even female co-workers to show their appreciation. Now, the creative team at GiftBasketsOverseas.com is breathing life into the holiday for Westerners with a campaign that combines customer engagement, social media, and educational articles to open the door for the world to celebrate the importance of women.

International Women’s Day began as part of the labor movement in the early 1900s, and has become an international event celebrated in a number of different ways. Countries following the United Nation’s views on Women’s Day celebrate its political roots and continue to use the holiday as a platform for change, whereas other regions focus on using the day to make every woman feel special. Wherever it is celebrated, Women’s Day has become a day to celebrate and appreciate all women. “We try not to dwell on the trials of the past, but instead to push onward to success for women in the future,” says David Skol, Chief Gift Officer at Gift Baskets Overseas. “This holiday has a lot of significance, and for that reason GiftBasketsOverseas.com wants to share Women’s Day more fully with the world.”

GiftBasketsOverseas.com has assembled a team of its best holiday experts to share this best kept holiday not-so-secret.

Gourmet Gift Basket to Hong Kong, China

Customer Testimonials /

“Absolutely fantastic Customer Service and product. Had to send a birthday gift to my husband who was on business in Hong Kong (I’m in the USA). Found Gift Baskets International online and called them. Even though I was placing my order outside of their usual time requirements, when I explained that my husband was away from home for his birthday and not happy about it, they went out of their way to ensure that his gift basket was delivered on his birthday. He was thrilled with the contents of his VIP Basket and said everything was “delicious”! Can’t speak highly enough of your wonderful service!

Wine Gift Set to Mariupol, Ukraine

Customer Testimonials /

It’s always a great pleasure for us to receive positive testimonials from our happy customers! Thank you for all your kind words and suggestions. We’re doing our best to make your experience with our company outstanding!

“Hello,

 I would like you to know how pleased I am with your company! My personal interactions have been with Margaret, Helen and Katherine, but I know there are many others to thank for the flawless execution of delivering the French Delights/Box of Chocolates I ordered sent to Ukraine. 
 
I wanted to send a Valentine’s Day present to my friend who is in Mariupol, Ukraine and began planning this present on January 29. He let me know that it has taken him many weeks or even months to have mail delivered, so I knew I was already late to start my task. After having so much trouble finding a company that delivers ANYTHING to Ukraine, I stumbled upon your website, giftbasketsoverseas.com. 
First, the website is easy to navigate. The website suggested “gift for men” for Valentine’s Day, and I was able to find French Delights, which is suitable for my price range. The options for add-ons were plentiful and helpful. I chose the Box of Chocolates to make the gift more celebratory. I also was able to use a discount code. Because of the Ukrainian mail warnings, I chose to have the gift delivered at the earliest possible date, Sunday February, 2.
–
Shortly after completing my order, I received a phone call from Margaret. She had noticed that I ordered a Valentine’s Day gift to arrive much earlier than Valentine’s Day and informed me that your company could have the gift delivered on the actual day. I thanked Margaret and told her that I just wanted the gift to arrive before to make sure there weren’t any hiccups; she responded that the gift could arrive on Monday, February 3. She was courteous, pleasant and overall helpful. I was taken aback by the thoughtfulness of our conversation.
Last night, February 2, I received an email from Helen Bright asking for an alternative phone number for the recipient. I knew he was traveling, so I was unsure about how to respond. This morning, I responded with his email address. As soon as I responded, the recipient contacted me to let me know he received the gift! Five minutes after my email was sent, Katherine Moore responded to my email, and I replied that the gift was received. My final received email was a polite “You are welcome!” from Katherine.
 
I appreciate every interaction from your company: ease of navigating and finding a gift on your website; thoughtfulness to call and confirm my order dates; attention to delivering my gift on time; confirmation of receipt from recipient; prompt responses to emails. My experience was beyond what I expected, and I am more than happy to be used as a testimonial. Thank you again so much for your help. It means a lot me and my friend!

Chinese New Year Gift Baskets Ride in on the Wood Horse

Press Releases /

GiftBasketsOverseas.com offers traditional Lunar Year gifts for prosperity and renewal!

ARLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — It’s time again to send gifts internationally to family, friends, and colleagues now that another Chinese New Year is on its way. It’s the Year of the Horse, specifically the Wood Horse, and GiftBasketsOverseas.com — the expert in International Gift Delivery — has unveiled an exclusive line of gift baskets for delivery overseas filled with traditional and modern Spring Festival gifts.

The new collection makes it easy for customers to find tasteful and culturally appropriate Chinese New Year gifts to send to the USA, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. The company’s gift hampers are decorated beautifully for the season and are packed with classics such as brightly colored bouquets, bird’s nest soups and drinks, rare abalone, and Mandarin oranges, along with updated choices such as imported sweets, fine wines, and spa gifts (to wash away the old and welcome the new). Customers who order from GiftBasketsOverseas.com are also guaranteed 24-hour multi-lingual customer service, fast delivery without Customs hassles, and no taxes to be paid by the recipient.

The horse symbolizes power, speed, victory, and good fortune. The traditional Spring Festival story goes that Buddha invited the animals to celebrate the New Year with him, and when they arrived, he named a year for each of them, then gave the people born in each animal’s year a part of their power and personality. People born under the horse are considered to be cheerful, charming, and carefree. Like horses, they can be wild and difficult to tame, but they are also honest and one can always tell what’s on their mind.

Entrepreneurs and owners of businesses are encouraged to use the wisdom of the horse while planning this year’s finances and decisions. Horse years are wild, with fluctuating prices, unrest in middle class economies, and not much room for diplomacy. At the same time, the horse supports decisive action – quick decisions are often rewarded, but if there are any doubts, the horse says, “Wait.”

Businesses and traditional customers can also borrow horse wisdom when building or maintaining relationships; horses love sweetness – whether in action or at the table – and gifts of food and drink are great ways to strengthen connections in the Year of the Horse.

“Chinese New Year is always an exciting time, and this year our team has worked hard to bring the best quality gifts to deliver around the world,” says David Skol, Chief Gift Officer. “It’s the time for renewing relationships, saying goodbye to the things that have passed, and looking forward to all that will come, and we’ve designed gifts with this spirit in mind.”

Chinese New Year gift hampers from GiftBasketsOverseas.com are specially created to deliver your warm wishes for the upcoming year. Send Spring Festival gifts all over the world: Check out the newest catalogs at GiftBasketsOverseas.com and wish someone special a New Year full of happiness and good fortune.
