Working for an international gifting giant like GiftBasketsOverseas.com has many perks, one of which is the opportunity to work on the front lines during the peak holiday season. While I usually hide behind the scenes, taking satisfaction in dreaming up mouth-watering catalog descriptions and enticing blogs, it’s a fascinating and eye-opening experience to work with our corporate clients. After all, learning to satisfy Gift Baskets Overseas clients teaches me more about how they think and what questions they ask.
This first-hand experience lets me write a better and more in-depth explanation of our service and teaches me more about what our customers look for. One such customer, a 7-year veteran of our service, Re-al Lewis, Office Manager/Accounts Payable & Receivable at Rings Around the World, Ltd, was one of my first corporate clients. We’ve learned and grown together. An experience that is common at GBO. Because we strive to pair all of our corporate clients with a corporate gift expert they can work with year after year.
This blog is a peek at what Re-al has been kind enough to share about her experience with our service. Along with the perks that come with our unique strategies of personalized corporate gift experiences for all of our clients.

A Peek Inside Rings Around The World, Ltd
To understand why Re-al Lewis needs a service like ours, you first need to understand a bit about the company she works for. Rings Around The World, Ltd is a small family-owned business that makes and sells Purse Seiner deck gear to commercial tuna fishermen worldwide. In its 35 years of business, it has sold over 500,000 rings globally. The rings are so well known and trusted that they are patented worldwide.
Any family-owned business will tell you, that growing a market that large that lasts this long is no small feat. It’s done through hard work and excellent people skills. And of course, one such way to go above and beyond to satisfy clients is through personal touches, like holiday gifts.
How to Satisfy Clients & Save Time
One thing Re-al doesn’t mention in her interview is just how kind she is. I know through our interactions that if she had the time (and if the shipping wouldn’t be an absolute nightmare), she would hand-prepare each gift herself. Which is why I’m absolutely honored that she trusts our service. Her devotion to the company and its clients is second to none. After all, to her, the company is truly like family.
When asked how the service at Gift Baskets Overseas meets her expectations, Re-al had this to say:
“Every year, we receive top-notch service from the entire team. Any issues with deliveries are handled immediately. Any issues with an item being unavailable for delivery are handled with an alternative item of equal value and similar contents to our chosen ones.”
She goes on to say that:
“This service has made our gift-giving easier and less time-consuming. That impact alone is worth it.”
Which is exactly what the team at GBO is here for. We aim to make the entire gifting process smooth and simple, from 1 gift to 1000. No matter how many people you want to send gifts to in countries around the world, we’re here for you every step of the way.

With A Little Help From Your Friends
They say that no man is an island. This saying must ring even more true in this digital age of interconnectedness and especially in the land of business. Every choice you make, every email you send, and every interaction you have, no matter how small, can impact your business. From how customers view you to employee morale.
Re-al gently reminded me of this as I read through her answers to my interview questions. We always wonder what exactly brings our customers back. Is it our sweet discounts on corporate bulk orders? Perhaps our host of corporate gifting solutions?
Re-al’s answer to what keeps her coming back to our service year after year surprised me:
“Quite frankly, Sempronia Hobgood. She has mastered the art of customer service.”
Now – I knew we had a good rapport with one another. And sure, after 7 years of working together, I have a pretty good idea of how she likes things handled. The kinds of gifts she likes to send. And what to expect from her recipient list. But to be honest, attention to details like these is just what’s expected of all of our corporate representatives.
It’s a Team Effort
We truly aim to please and to make your life easier when it comes to gifts. Need your bulk order form from last year? No problem. Want us to send over gift recommendations for your budget and a specific list of delivery locations? Makes sense; our catalog is huge, and we’ve had more time to browse it.
I had to reread her answer and sit on it a few times before I could accept it as true. And of course, I had to realize that our stellar team of experts is likely why many of our customers come back. Yes, our baskets are beautiful, but our service is what truly sets us apart. This kind of 5-star service just doesn’t happen without truly amazing individuals. Individuals I am lucky enough to have trained with, learned from, and am inspired by daily.
To Satisfy Customers, You Must Satisfy Yourself
But our team also has something else in common. Something we just can’t train: We truly have a passion for our job. I am fascinated by all things related to gifts—the customs, the holidays, the regional differences. From small tokens of thanks to grand gestures of love, I study them all. And I get to pass that information on to you, dear readers, whoever you are, wherever you are. In the hope that it makes your next gifting adventure just a little easier, a little more fun, and maybe, just maybe, a little more impressive.
While the passion for gifting and spreading joy may look different in each of our corporate gift experts, it’s there. Ready and eager to be shared with every corporate client they’re lucky enough to be paired with. And, if you’re very lucky, you’ll find a match like Re-al and I have. A match where the gifting isn’t just quick and easy, but also fun and filled with a few laughs.
You don’t have to take my word for it. You can find out for yourself by filling out this form or contacting us directly; we’re available over the phone, email, and chat 24/7.
