Create a Restful Work Space

February 15, 2016

It’s Spring!

Create A Happy and Restful Work Space

Before long it will be warm enough to get outside and work in the garden, but before that you can freshen up and spring clean the inside of your home — the kitchen, family room and mud room. Take your spring cleaning one step further and create a corner office — a restful work space with personality.

Restful Work Space

This article with photos will help you design a restful work space. Here are great tips on  how to create a mini bulletin board to keep organized and how to add colorful office supplies, frames and knickknacks. In no time your office space will be a calm retreat and a fun work environment.

Gift Baskets for Every Occasion

Hi. We send out a weekly 1800Baskets.com email every Tuesday. We were thinking about how to turn that into a fun contest as well.  So how about this. After the email goes out each week (typically on Tuesdays), we’ll make a FB post and provide a link to the blog. On the blog, you tell us what you like and what you don’t about the weekly email. We’ll pick a few winners – again this week it’s 3 (wo hoo!) – and the winner gets one of the products featured in the email.

 

So for your feeback you post below, try and make it about a paragraph and please tell us BOTH the positive and the negative aspects of the email. As many of you know, we think feedback is vital, so that’s why we don’t shy away from asking for negative feedback. 

And as always, we want to let you know, we print out EACH AND EVERY COMMENT with your name next to it. We then bring the printed comments into our Design Room and discuss them.

In case you did not receive the email, please add 1800Baskets@email.1800baskets.com as a contact in your address book. If that doesn’t work, we have a backup for you. Click the link below!

Denarii Lavender Spa Gift Basket
Denarii Lavender Spa Gift Basket

Yeah we know, not our sexiest sounding party. But we thought, you are our best customers and what better way to reward you and get your thoughts.

So as the party name suggests, along with about a paragraph describing what you thought about the gift basket that you ordered, also post your 1800Baskets.com Order ID. 

We’ll select one random poster (who includes a valid 1800Baskets.com Order ID) and send them this luxurious Denarii Lavender Spa Gift Basket pictured to the left!
 
If anybody’s searching, here’s an active coupon code: BSKTS15FB (15% off your entire order).
  
Btw, in your paragraph, please feel free to say what you liked and did not like about the gift basket that you ordered. If you sent it as a gift and did not get a chance to hear from the recepient, then tell us of your perception of the gift basket when you ordered it online. The reason why we say “perception” is we want you to feel confident that what is being shown online is accurate as to what they or the recepient receives. If a picture is misleading, we want to fix it. If certain details of what’s in the gift basket are not spelled out, we want to be more specific. In short, we want to improve your experience. Why?  We love what we do and our reputation is on the line with every gift basket that ships out our doors. Also, we love the thought of you receiving one of our beautiful gift baskets and smiling. Not just a ‘oh that’s nice smile’. A pause for a few seconds, then a “Wow”, then hands slowly picking up the oh so beautifully designed gift basket. That moment for us is absolutely crucial. Then after that moment the experience continues…

Bountiful Sweets Gift Basket

Bountiful Sweets Gift Basket

Hi All! So what we wanted to do during this 1800Baskets.com party was to discuss gift baskets in general.

In about a paragraph or so, please tell us what you feel is important to you in a gift basket. Our Gift Basket Designers inside our Melrose Park, IL Design Room have creativity flowing through them and the skill and passion to make their visions a reality. From a myriad of artistic and creative backgrounds, our Gift Basket Design Room Team view Gift Basket design as a holistic creative endeavor. However, we feel strongly that this cannot be done in isolation. The emotion and sentiment our gift baskets invoke in our customers must not only be appropriate to the occasions but also be of the right intensity. Meaning we want the gift basket to not only convey exactly what you feel but how strongly you feel. That is our passion, that is our goal. And that is why we ask you for your thoughts. 🙂

Please write about a paragraph or so and we’ll randomly pick 1 person and send the Bountiful Sweets Gift Basket! (pictured above)
