Was your last hospitality gift a clear foul?

02.12.2009

The Bite:
Rebound with an eco gift basket. Great for clients and employees alike, when you gotta give a gift, baskets full of green goodies (like eco-chocolates) make for an easy slam dunk.
The Benefits: 
  • No time-out for crappy gifts. Who couldn't use a little more biodynamic champagne in their life?
  • Defense for the planet. The goods in these baskets are eco - think organic teas (fewer pesticides) and reusable bottles (which your giftee can use to avoid plastic ones) - and often consumable (no knickknacks they'll later need to dump).
  • No health violations. Choosing organic shows you care about the giftee's health, since there are fewer pesticides involved.
Personally Speaking: 
Personally, we're not so into obligatory gifts, but when it's necessary, people love our Biter For Life Kits (or at least they tell us they do before they regift them).
Wanna Try: 
  • Little Green Birdy - food, spa, and travel sets ($60 and up).
  • Vivabox - giftees get to sample a product (tea, for instance), then use an included coupon for more once they decide what they like. Its spa and tea packages are organic ($45 and up).
  • EcoExpress - click Gift Baskets and Sets for workplace- and client-appropriate gift sets, including organic beer and wine ($12 and up).
  • VivaTerra - choose from candles, chocolate, or even live plants ($5 and up).

Cocktail Fact

The average height for pro basketball players is about 6 foot 7 for men and about 6 feet for women.

Bang For The Bite

Whatever you gift - from baked goods to bath salts - opting for something a little eco-friendlier is a more thoughtful way to give, and might even turn an unsuspecting nongreenie onto the light green lifestyle.
