A Basket Contest for Calgary and Area! and a consolation prize for the rest of you.

My Darling Wife has a new company and it’s called GettaGift! Gift Baskets, you see, and it is doing pretty well. Like all small businesses there are challenges. One of the challenges is promoting her business, without being too ‘In your face’ to all of our friends and family, yet still letting them know about the amazing products she sells. So how to get the word out there? Give something away!!

How would you like THIS delivered to your house on Dec 23rd? Wow, right? “How to enter” is down at the bottom of this blog post.

The reason the main prize for this contest is just for Calgary is, her delivery base is in Calgary. Right. Got it? Additionally, we will deliver to all the bedroom communities surrounding Calgary as well.

First off, here is a little bit about Traci’s company.

Name: Getta Gift! Gift Baskets

Web: www.gettagift.ca

Email: traci at gettagift dot ca

Tel: four oh three 831-4315

(I do those word games in phone and email to eliminate autodialers and spammers.)

Getta Gift! is fully licensed to deliver alcohol (wines, champagne) in the baskets too!

Traci takes GREAT pains to make sure the product quality in the basket is top notch, as well as taking even GREATER pains to make sure the basket looks amazing! I can’t actually be in the room with her when she is wrapping baskets, as it drives me bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s. She is SOOOO anal about the wrap being perfect, and the bow being perfect… wow… They look absolutely incredible in the end… I would probably toss them into a plastic grocery bag… That’s why she has that the business and not me, I guess.

Here is what I am talking about. They don’t look this good without a TON of fussing. But WOW, wouldn’t this be an incredible gift to give or receive?

Pictured above is a group of 6 baskets that went out today to a Corporate Client to present to his staff at a Christmas Party tomorrow night. How much fun!

Which brings me to Traci’s passion, and the main reason she started this company. She loves to create and build custom gift solutions for corporate clients. Traci is fantastic at developing and presenting the perfect gift for your clients or staff. Her corporate solutions have been incredibly well received at all price points! GettaGift! has Corporate Solutions starting at $15.00 all the way up to $(?)!!

Some of Traci’s other favourites for single order baskets include:

  • New Baby Baskets (these are always VERY well received)
  • Babybasket
  • Fresh fruit Baskets
