Today\u2019s blog post is a combination of crowing and appreciation. As the title suggests, we discuss what makes BasketWorks unique, but we\u2019re able to achieve these differentiators because of our customers and community. You inspire our creativity and innovation and remind us that when our hands are achy from designing and assembling gift baskets, it\u2019s the hurts-so-good kind of pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get into it! Here are six ways that BasketWorks stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Oodles of Experience <\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got a very important anniversary coming up: 25 years in business (more on that in the coming weeks), also known as the Silver Jubilee or quadricentennial anniversary. According to the Internets, this anniversary can celebrate a marriage, a monarch\u2019s reign, or how long you\u2019ve owned that terry cloth shirt you bought at Structure your freshman year of college. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point is that we\u2019ve been at this for a long time, and we know how to design the perfect gift basket that will make you look good to your oh so lucky recipients. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, I also spent four years working for a florist in college and graduate school, and I just can\u2019t get rid of the attention to detail that experience taught me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Customization<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Okay, there\u2019s customization and then there\u2019s customization<\/em>. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t mess around. Our gift baskets and packages are built-to-order, meaning we can customize from our vast inventory, changing colors, creating custom imprinted ribbon, and adding or removing products (no nuts, add coffee, etc.).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s proof: we once designed a fishing-themed wedding basket for newlyweds who planned to go fly fishing on their honeymoon. I don\u2019t know how many fish they caught, but they were very happy with their gift basket. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) We Hunt For The Best Products <\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If there were such a thing as gift basket product apex predators, that would be us, except we don\u2019t harm living things. Rather, our staff attends many gift and gourmet shows annually (the International Housewares Show, Sweets & Snacks Show, two Chicago gift shows, and a national gift basket conference where I\u2019ve taught for several years) to find new products and to taste and select every item we use in our gift baskets and gift packages. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that our customers have different palettes and nutritional preferences, which is why we maintain an inventory of gluten free, kosher, heart healthy, and other special diet foods. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Local And Woman-Owned<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BasketWorks is a proud, local and woman-owned business, and we support and leverage other small businesses, which helps strengthen our community. We are very active members of our local chambers of commerce, and not to brag or anything, but I was recognized as Volunteer of The Year by the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce & Industry.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) At Your Service <\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re nothing if not consistent with the quality of our customer service because, to sort of quote the great Sally Field, \u201cWe like you! We really really like you!\u201d You like us back, we\u2019d like to think because of the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
