Hi, I'm new to your site. My family and I just opened a gift shop a month ago, and would greatly welcome any ideas or suggestion on making areas attractive and inviting, any baskets ideas etc. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Antoinette

Hi Kathy: Shirley Frazier publishes a great newsletter every Wednesday that is loaded with info for gift basket business owners like you. You can sign up on her website: http://giftbasketbusiness.com/ While it is a national resource, at least you won't find yourself toiling alone. You can even drop Shirley a note and ask if there are any local chapters. She is very friendly and open to ideas and questions. Also consider posing the same question on our Retail Forum (www.giftshopforum.com) where fellow retailers might have more ideas. All the best for your business!

I currently have a business in located in the Boston area of MASS in the field of custom designed gift baskets. As I search the internet daily to look for gift basket networking groups or any type of gift basket team suppport to help with my gift basket part of my business, it appears that I havn't had any luck finding anyone that I can network with or share questions or concerns about the gift basket industry. My comment is, how do I locate gift basket designers or a networking group of basketeers in my area (Boston, MA). Please reply. Thanks!!! Kathy...
