“I was looking for some gifts to give to very special clients, and wanted something different. In the process of searching and asking others, I was told about "The Basket Lady" (Barbara Melton). Further research allowed me to find her web site: www.makesomeonesdaytoday.com .

What a pleasant surprise. The Basket Lady has different gifts and price points that would fit anyone's needs. To try her out, I ordered a basket and had it sent to myself. For reference I am in Florida and she is in California. The basket arrived, on time, and I could not have been more pleased. Since then, I have spoken with The Basket Lady many times, whom I now wish I had found earlier. Of course the clients have been extremely surprised and pleased.

Not only is she knowledgeable, but she seems to understand my needs and fills them perfectly. I urge anyone who is looking for something different to contact The Basket Lady. You will not be disappointed.”

"Sending a gift basket to a grieving family is a unique, creative and thoughtful way to express your condolence during a difficult time. A gift basket is a personal and lasting memorial tribute. While flowers and donations to charities are the standard expressions of sympathy, a gift basket reflects the personality of the sender and the needs of the family.

Choose the experience of The Basket Lady to design the perfect expression of comfort."

”THE BASKET LADY team is truly professional and also creative genius. I have utilized them for a series of marketing promotions of drop-off gifts to prospects. I closed a brand new account with the first promotion so ROI has already paid off”

”I attended The Basket Lady's open house and was delighted to sample and see so many gourmet products and wine offerings. They take great personal pride in their product selection, design work and presentation. I purchased several gifts at the open house and continue to shop there for different occasions. I know they recently attended the Fancy Food Show in SF and will be offering many new product lines that are new to the market. They have been long-time supporters of the community and a portion of their proceeds is donated to a charitable organization. I like doing business with The Basket Lady because I know my dollars spent also support a charity.”

“What an amazing job you did! I took on the job of obtaining items for a high school team fundraiser. After a brief meeting with you to discuss ideas and budget, I felt confident you could take on the challenge. And I was not disappointed! You even came in under budget! You made me look good and my job couldn’t have been easier. Thank you.
