A basket for
every occasion



Tired of trying to buy a gift for that hard to buy for person in your life who already has everything? Then why not consider giving them a gift basket from Forget-Me-Not Gift Baskets.

Owner Barb Paquette has been putting together gift baskets for every occasion under the sun since 1991.

Gift baskets are the perfect gift for the person who seemingly has everything because they are filled with unique and interesting items that invariably put a smile on the recipient's face.

Paquette can either work around a theme or a person's particular tastes and interests. Items can range from speciality cheese and other gourmet food items to golf balls, bottles of wine, hockey or theatre tickets and anything else you can dream of. Best of all, Forget-Me-Not Gift Baskets will deliver your gift for you. Over the years Paquette has delivered gift baskets to destinations throught the United States and Canada.

"Gift baskets are fun. They're fun to put together. They're fun to buy and they're especially fun to get," says Paquette.

Gift baskets are the ideal gift for any occasion including wedding and baby showers, birthdays, Mother's Day, graduation, a new job, a company promotion or retirement, or as a housewarming gift. One of the more popular theme baskets is the chocolate lovers basket which contains a myriad of items for the chocoholic in your life. The possibilities are endless.

Paquette regularly visits gift shows in a constant search for new and interesting items. After 14 years in the business, she has a number of repeat customers including one particular client who's been ordering gift baskets from her for the past 13 years.

"The fun part about the job is when someone asks me to put together something different or find an item that's out of the ordinary," says Paquette.

A large part of her clientele are corporations and small businesses which purchase baskets as thank you presents or to mark a retirement or a new hire.

When purchasing a basket for a client who's with another business, Paquette recommends that the company purchasing the basket have it delivered to the person's office rather than their home to make a lasting impression. She also recommends that businesses include corporate items such as coffee mugs, pens, etc.

Gift baskets can range in price from $50 to $200 or more depending on the items you want to include in the basket. In most cases they can be put together and delivered the next day.

"It's relatively easy and hassle free," says Paquette. "All you have to do is call me up, give me a few ideas and leave the rest up to me."
