Ancient Egypt Gifts: What Egyptians Gave to Gods, Loved Ones and the Dead

Ancient Egypt has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I have always been interested in its history, art and archaeology, and over the years this interest has taken me through books, museum collections, exhibitions and many hours spent looking at objects that somehow make a civilization thousands of years old feel surprisingly close. Being in a gifting business makes one observant of anything related to gift-giving and holidays, so at some point, I became curious of Ancient Egypt gifts and how one of the oldest cultures on Earth embraced the idea of exchanging offerings. Today, I am happy to share the results of my quest with you.

Get Ahead of the Season: Why September Is the Best Time to Plan Your Corporate Holiday Gifting

Blogs, Corporate / Amy-Paige Cox

If your inbox has been quiet about the holidays so far, that’s about to change. Vendors will start sending deadline reminders, shipping carriers will announce cutoff dates, and somewhere around early November, everyone on your team will suddenly be asking who’s handling client gifts this year. The businesses that avoid that scramble are the ones who start corporate holiday gifting planning now, in September, while there’s still room to think instead.

This isn’t just about beating a calendar deadline. When your gifting program reaches across borders, the logistics get more complicated than a quick order from a local shop. Customs timelines, regional holiday dates, and product availability all factor in, and each of those takes longer to sort out the closer you get to December. Starting early isn’t a nice-to-have this year. It’s what separates a gifting program that feels thoughtful from one that feels like an afterthought.

Birthdays hit differently when you can’t be in the same room to celebrate.

With a little planning, long distance birthday ideas can feel just as thoughtful, and sometimes even more memorable, than a party down the street.

This guide walks through creative ways to celebrate a friend’s birthday from anywhere in the world, from virtual hangouts to gift baskets for friends that show up right at their door.

A Business Guide to Getting Real Value from International Conferences – Interview with Erica Ferreira, Corporate Outreach Specialist

Corporate / Otavio Ribeiro

Large international conferences promise a lot: thousands of attendees, packed agendas, and the chance to meet decision makers you would never reach through cold outreach alone. But walking away with real business value takes more than a badge and a stack of business cards. It takes a strategy.

To understand what that strategy looks like in practice, we spoke with Erica Ferreira, Corporate Outreach Specialist at Gift Baskets Overseas, who recently represented the company at Web Summit Rio 2026. Her experience offers a practical playbook for any company deciding whether, and how, to invest in international conferences.

Top 10 Unique Gifts for Receptionists

Blogs, Professional Gifts / Amy-Paige Cox

A receptionist can answer an endlessly-ringing phone. Greet a nervous visitor. And, rescue a meeting room booking before most of us have finished our first sip of coffee. That calm welcome at the front desk shapes how visitors see the entire business. Yet the work behind it is easy to overlook. Choosing thoughtful gifts for receptionists is a simple way to show that this work has been noticed.

Each year, National Receptionists Day falls on the second Wednesday in May. This day offers a natural moment to celebrate. But, appreciation does not have to wait for one date though. A birthday, work anniversary, holiday or successful company event can be just as significant. With Gift Baskets Overseas, companies can also arrange international delivery when their reception staff work in different offices or countries.

The Corporate Gifting Calendar No One Talks About

Corporate / Sandra Summers

What does your corporate gifting calendar currently look like? Companies often refer to themselves as places where employees feel valued and cared for. Alongside the standard financial and workplace benefits that employees receive, corporate culture has become increasingly personal. We celebrate colleagues’ birthdays and promotions, follow cherished Christmas traditions, and throw parties to mark successful deals with key clients.

However, strong and trusting relationships aren’t built only around traditional corporate events. People appreciate businesses that recognize them as individuals rather than simply as customers, employees, or partners.

At Gift Baskets Overseas, we’ve gathered some of the most overlooked occasions that deserve a place on your corporate gifting calendar. Recognizing these meaningful moments throughout the year can help create stronger emotional connections and build lasting professional relationships.

The Best Gifting Apps: The Ultimate Guide to Global Deliveries

Compare Gift Delivery Services / Alex London

Sending a thoughtful gift across the world from a mobile web browser is a notoriously frustrating experience. We’ve all been there: you try to enter an international address only for the zip code field to break. A foreign payment gateway triggers a security alert on your credit card, or tracking your package requires digging through confusing email receipts. On a small smartphone screen, traditional e-commerce desktop web portals are clunky at best and entirely broken at worst. Fortunately, the global gifting landscape has shifted dramatically. This year, mobile-first applications are dominating the industry. Native iOS and Android apps have fundamentally rebuilt the gifting journey, using mobile-specific features like biometric authentication (Apple Pay and Google Pay), contact book integrations, interactive package trackers, and even generative AI shopping assistants to eliminate checkout friction. Let us review the best gifting apps to see how they fit your needs!
