Once again it has been a while since my last blog - never my intention to leave it so long between drinks however I do feel most justified as I am soon to have a baby ... and by soon I mean like a week and a half!

I have been busy getting corporate clients ready for Christmas 2010 which may sound surprising but by the time I have the baby and settle into life as a new Mum Christmas will be here before I know it!

The bulk of our corporate business happens at Christmas with the majority of Red Ribbon Gifts' corporate clients opting for gourmet hampers. Gourmet hampers are a brilliant option at Christmas if you follow a few guidelines as we do Red Ribbon.

Content is king - at Red Ribbon Gifts we place a strong emphasis on quality. We have all received a hamper that is full of poor quality products that Nana may like but will only end up in the back of our pantry, or worse in the bin! At Red Ribbon Gifts our hampers only contain the most delicious gourmet goods that are perfect for entertaining at bbqs and picnics throughout the festive season. 

At Red Ribbon Gifts we do judge a book by its cover - our gourmet goods not only have to taste delicious but they also have to be packaged beautifully. This theme is also followed through with our own packaging. Our standard packaging is pictured below however we do customise packaging to reflect our corporate clients branding.



The hamper must be tailored to suit the recipient. Your wasting your money giving Bob the builder a Champagne hamper full of gourmet delicacies when he would much prefer a 6 pack of beer and some blokey treats like pretzels and nuts. That is why we tailor our hampers to suit the requirements of our corporate clients' recipients. Our corporate clients tell us about the recipients and we come back to them with hampers their recipients will love.

You could imagine my clients surprise when I called them enquiring about Christmas 2010 in early August. 2010 feels like it's just warming up and we are already talking Christmas? Madness! Anyway all of Red Ribbon's clients have been most obliging considering my situation.

So whilst I am due in a week and a bit babies do tend to run to their own schedule, so really any day now. That being so, it will probably be a while before my next post, unless of course I go over and get bored. Until next time!
