Time speeds by...

I can hardly believe it is almost August. We will be celebrating four years in business this month! Sometimes it seems like only last week that we took the big leap and started our gift basket service. I have learned so much and met so many amazing people but there is still much to learn and many to meet!

The most important thing I have learned is that nothing makes up for exemplary customer service. Listen to your clients and give them what they want. It sounds simple enough but sometimes they themselves have no idea what that is! Patience and listening will allow you to fill that order and thrill both your client and the recipient. The hard sell is not the best way to care for your people, listening is.

To celebrate Garden Gate Gifts turning four (and my 40th) we would like to extend a special offer of $4.00 off shipping or delivery throughout the month of August. Just mention it when you place your order.

Thank you all so much for allowing us to do what we do. We are blessed to have such amazing clients and friends and plan to continue exceeding your expectations for years to come.

Welcome to our new Blog!

While we are well known for our creative gift baskets delivered throughout Florida and around the world that's not all we do! There is always something exciting going on behind the scenes as well. Whether we have published a new article, won a design competition, developed a new gift design or are working in the community...we are always up to something. Since we are completely dedicated to our clients we thought this would be a great tool to keep us in touch. This is where we will let you know about new products, upcoming events and holidays and preview new designs. We hope you will check back often and see what happens beyond the Garden Gate!
