Ideas for name for my business?
I have a small gift basket business. Ideas for a name??
--------------------
Ideally choose a name that describes whats your business offers or sells the most of. You can always change it later to try to get a better brand store but if its a new store, first try what i said above. If it is a small gift basket business you can try your name (ex Ashly's Gift Baskets). Go with what feels right to you.

What should I say?
A friend has her parents staying at her house and they are driving her insane! Her dad keeps cleaning out her stuff and throwing it away! I am sending her a gift basket to cheer her up....what is something funny I can put on the card?
--------------------
Tell her you will donate money to the "Parents need a hotel fund!" I couldn't imagine the chaos that she is dealing with! Best of Luck toyour friend.

Promoting Business?
I have a gift basket business, but there's a twist -- it's all about sex. There's dildos, lubes, pornos, etc. How do I promote this to the public, nightclubs, etc? And how do I get things off half price with sex stores? Teaming up with them and what not? I NEED HELP!!!
--------------------
For promoting. I would see If I could rent some space at a sex store, but a problem could be that since you are buying items that they sell, eventually they might kick you out and start doing it themselves. It can still be an ok idea to try because it will help you get some customers. I would also have a website. In all your baskets, make sure you have information about your company and your website. This way if you use the idea above and they do take over your idea, your past customers may check out your website. You can run tasteful ads in the newspaper. You can show some happy people and say something about how they've gotten a basket from you. Say something about how they're for the mature adult. That would probably give a good hint as to what your baskets are like. Our radio stations have commercials for the local sex stores. They just hit that point, they're for the mature adult and work around how they talk about their products. You also have to go to the right sources, that wouldn't have the people who would get offended. A newspaper would be ok, but pick the right station, don't advertise on a christain or contemporary station. Pick those that deal with rock and rap. Last part of your question. To get things at half price isn't going to happen with a sex store. That will only happen if you find their distributor and also buy from them. This be the only way to buy it whole sale. If you have your business set up with all sales tax permits, then you may be able to buy from a sex store without paying tax on the items, but I wouldn't think that they would give you much of a discount. Your best bet is to look for distributors. Maybe find a store in another state and ask who they use. Asking a store you use would be bad. They could think your starting your own store and that can be bad news. Hope that helps.

omg help with guinea pigs?
my mum has gaven my guinea pigs some sort of hay but its not actual hay its like stuff that comes in a gift basket to look pretty or sum thing and i think they will eat it cuz they will think its hay wat do u think ?
--------------------
As long as it hasn't been anywhere you don't know so it is clean and you defiantly know it is hay. Guinea pigs can eat any type of hay really. But timothy hay is recommended because of it's rich source of vitamin C.

I'm wondering your opinion?
I'm a mom of 3 and we recently moved from the sunny shores of flordia to Milford New Hampshier because of my husbands job. We both feel so bad for the kids because they've been moping around the new house because they are nervous about starting their new school. My husband and I decided to get each of our kids a feel better gift pack with all the stuff that they might need to survive their first day of school. I'll show you the stuff that were putting in the gift packs and you can tell us what you think gift basket 1(for our 8 year old daughter Emily) http://www.target.com/Girls-Cherokee-Short-Sleeve-Ultimate-Polo/dp/B000VWV8PI/qid=1197427722/ref=br_1_51/602-3840920-5246255?ie=UTF8&node=16008721&frombrowse=1&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=16008721&rank=pmrank&rh=&page=1 http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=6791&pid=538120 http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=6094&pid=525045 (In pink) http://www.famousfootwear.com/product.asp?product_id=1012211&variant_id=50346

Creative Ideas?
I run a gift basket business, and I have customers that would like me to design a basket for a co-worker. The co-worker is leaving the company and moving to Georgia..so they wanted a sort of Congradulations, Good Bye and Good Luck basket..they also wanted to incorporate Georgia into it somehow..so I was thinking peach scented candles or bath bubbles. Anyone have any ideas?
--------------------
Looking at your question my first instinct was to look up Georgia's state flower (which is the Cherokee rose). Naturally if that is a flower you could find, that would be a good first step. I would go and find out a bunch of fun facts about the state to help you better figure out what else to add.

Christmas/birthday gift for a 1 year old......?
Ok so my sisters daughter is going to be turning 1 in a few weeks - then there's Christmas right around the corner. I have no idea what to get for her - nothing too crazy, big or expensive. I was thinking a pretty basket filled with things she would enjoy playing with or things that my sister needs for her...I need some help - please!! Thanks everyone xoxo
--------------------
I agree with your idea. A basket with little, not very expensive, fun things is a great idea. Some cute little todler outfits are always nice. You can also put in little dolls, toy phones, plastic keys.. anything pink. Something that is not very loud or annoying so your sister won't be annoyed, but still very fun. Also, go to a baby store, Babies R Us, something else like that, and ask what is a good idea for a 1 year old girl. The employees wll help you out. When I was little, I remember I loved pretend food. Something where she can be creative, such as crayons or constuction paper or colored pencils.

Ok well, im 10[ please dont report me!] and i was thinking for christmas, asking for a basket full of cute little girly things, such as nail polish, hair things, and such. The thing is, i dont know what else? Like maybe a gift card for Claires? Im really girly, and want cute small things to ask for. I kind of like to pamper myself and give myself manicures lol. I know i already named some, but any other ideas? Thanks alot!!
--------------------

Should I be suspicious or thankful?
My husband come home from work this evening and told me of how he received a gift basket from someone. When I asked where all the goodies went he said there weren't that many and that he gave them to coworkers. I was fine with this, I asked if he saved the basket at least, we could recycle and he said the goodies all came attached to one another with ribbon. I asked him if he got a card with the gifts and he said no. I asked him if he knew who it came from he said yes. It came from an ex employer from years ago in Mississippi, we currently live in TX. I am suspicious that a corporation sends gifts without basket or box. Should I be suspicious of this being a lie or should I be thankful that he told me about it at all? I am very happy in our marriage, I just find that the gift thing was a little weird. Thanks for all your responses.

Forget the situation for a moment. Let's look at you and your reaction to the situation. Your reaction is one of distrust. And the only reason you might not trust him would be... 1. There is something else that you haven't told us. 2. There is no reason for you to distrust. 3. Something weird is going on. I vote for number one, myself. I admit that the circumstances as you describe them are a little odd but that in and of itself means very little. If there is more to the story then you need to look into this a little. But if there's nothing more to the story then maybe you're making more out of this than it warrants. But no matter what, you need to look at your lack of trust and deal with it. Those who do not trust are often not to be trusted. If you've got a long history with this man and he has always been honest then I would go talk to a counselor about this -- on your own. Then again, it could be that you're feeling inadequate and you need something more to do. If the marriage is good and everyone is honest then it would be safe to assume that no reasonable man is going to mess that up. This isn't much of an answer, is it? Hope this is at least somewhat helpful.

has anyone tried to grow buzzyseeds in a hanging basket?
they have sent me four seed packAges now and I cAnnot even get them to germinate. they are sending me more but when can I do to get them to grow. it was a gift. I am a plant person but I find these impossible to grow
--------------------
if you line the basket wiith plastic and fill with good quality peat. sieve some of the peat to cover the top. spread the seeds evenly over the top, then sieve some of the peat to cover seeds. water well and then place in warm place at about 60 to 70 degrees farenhiet, until the seedlings apear then keep in glass house for them to grow , when they get bigger remove seeds so that they have room to grow. you can transplant the seedlings that you take out into another basket, best of luck hope it works for you. but buzzy seeds are hard to grow

Proper etiquette for business donations???
I own a small business and would like to donate a gift basket for a fundraiser at my child's school. My question is, when a business donates something or sponsers something, what is the proper thing to do as far as getting your business name mentioned? I mean, should I attach a business card to the basket, or is that considered kind of tacky? I really don't know. Any small business owners out there who have participated in such things, please advise!
--------------------
The organization would probably have a list of donors for the people attending the fundraiser. I wouldn't think it was tacky to attach a card saying "DONATED BY XXXXX". If they want to remove the card and recognize you some other way, they can.

I bought him a v-day present, but now regret it...?
We're over 25. He was out of state for V-day working and was supposed to get in that night around 11:00. I wouldn't see him until the day after. I called him on the 15th, but got his voice mail I finally got in touch with him late yesterday evening (the 15th). He was 45 mins away @ his parent's house. He wasn't planning on coming to our city anytime soon and didn't seem to want to talk. He didn't even have the decency to call and let me know he was in the state. I made a gift basket with local stuff and the most expensive part purchsed online. I had plans to make him a romantic lunch and even baked him cookies @ 5am yesterday. I went to a garage sale and found him 2 very nice pieces of furniture. Now, with him being suddenly so stand-offish, I don't even want to be around him. I just want to give him the furniture and put him out of my life. I don't want give him his v-day gift or lunch because I don't "love" him at the moment. Am I justified in my feelings?

***********************BEST ANSWER HERE************************ Well, unless you know what actually happened, you'll be premature in your judgment. It's natural to feel rejected and hurt, but what if something happened - seriously? What if his parents are getting a divorce? Tough to answer when you don't know. I say be fair to yourself and him. You did your part - wonderfully. Nothing wrong with that - you have a big heart. What I suggest, is giving him some space. The Valentine's day really means nothing more than a representation of what should be. If he's been good to you, then he should get more consideration. If you find out, it's some BS - I'd still give it to him and let him know it's not what you are looking for. You need someone more consistent. TRUST ME - he'll NEVER get you off his mind because he'll remember and beg you back. One love...............
