Wow! I told you we had something big planned, and we’re all very excited about all the 1800Baskets.com National Gratitude Day Sweepstakes energy going on. Have you entered the sweepstakes on our Facebook page for a chance to win yet? Only one day left! Also, I really enjoyed hearing about your first working experiences. A lot of interesting stories and places (I’m still stuck on truck stop), but that’s the fun thing about jobs; the stories and experiences you get to tell about them!
Of course, I wont keep you all waiting any longer. Congratulations to Lisa Dion (posted at September 22, 2011 at 12:43 am), Juan Carlos (posted at September 21, 2011 at 7:58 pm), and Michelle E (posted at September 19, 2011 at 3:41 pm)! Please send your full names and address to me at amariscal@1800flowers.com and I can send over your Chocolate Covered Strawberries!
Fall is officially here! Yeah! (It’s going to be really hard to get me to talk about anything other than how much I love, have missed, enjoy, etc. Fall). Like any good season, there is always a ton to do and celebrate. And luckily for Fall, it gets to host weekend after weekend of tailgating parties. Personally, I don’t care for researching sports teams or players or anything that requires me to go out of my way or know things. Just show me an exciting, well-played game, and give me a hamburger and I’m good to go! (Can you sense that I will attend anything if food is involved?) The last game I watched was between Michigan and Notre Dame and someone supplied me with wings. That was fun game to watch; more games like that please, and maybe I’d pay attention.
For everyone else who is a dedicated fan or married to one and in need of snacks for game day, we have some pretty great selections at 1800Baskets.com! Our Tailgater’s Savory Snack Basket can definitely tide over a hungry appetite. It contains honey wheat braided pretzels, kettle corn popcorn, Sonoma Jacks® pepper jack cheese, Buffalo bleu cheese dip, Sparrer® beef summer sausage, and many more delectable snacks that can make up a tailgating feast. I can see this making a great snack table for a party or an easy to bring along snack set for when you actually go to the game. It’s also probably one of our manliest gift baskets (until we can put mustaches on gift baskets).
I hope a lot of you have big game plans soon; because we’re giving away FIVE of these gift baskets! Just tell us in the comments section below (1-2 paragraphs), any funny tailgating or sports stories. Look forward to reading!
