Easter Gifts Delivered Throughout Ireland & Europe
Easter Gifts Delivered Throughout Ireland and Europe
Spring has been teasing us for a while now, with some lovely warm and sunny days in March followed by another cold spell. With the arrival of Spring comes one of our favourite occasions at BasketsGalore, Easter. We go all doe-eyed for the cuddly bunnies, lambs and chicks in our Easter Gifts and do our best to avoid eating too much chocolate.
Our Easter Gifts have always been popular with our international Customers. For example, Grandparents (or other family members) living abroad and wishing to send an Easter Gift to the Grandchildren back in Ireland. Rather than trying to post chocolate from overseas and risking it melting, as well as paying high postage fees, our Customers can simply 'hop' online, order an Easter Gift Basket from us and we'll deliver it directly to their loved ones door. Easter Gift Delivery without the stress. We can even deliver to anywhere in the EU on a 24-48 hour basis as well.
When Covid struck in March 2020, Ireland soon went into lockdown and we worried about how our family business might survive. We furloughed most of our team of staff and we, the Directors, took over the daily operations. A couple of members of staff then took it in turns to help in the warehouse. We never could have anticipated the rise in demand for our Easter Gifts that April, both from individuals ordering for family members and from Corporate clients wanting to send their staff members working from home an Easter gift. We had to place top up orders from the likes Lindt for more Easter Eggs and chocolate bunnies so we could continue to fulfil orders. We were four times as busy, with only 1/4 of our staff working to keep everyone safe.
By Easter 2021, there were still restrictions in place and so our Easter Gift Baskets were in high demand yet again. This time however, we had been able to welcome more staff back, and so the range was also updated. We had some new products such as fresh scones being added to the mix and we were able to rephotograph and extend our offering with more grown up and family friendly Easter Gift Hampers.
Our Easter Gifts now come in 4 main ranges - Easter Gifts, Easter Gift Baskets, Easter Hampers and Children's Easter Gifts. You can read about the different styles in our other Easter Blogs and then choose your favourite type of Easter Gift depending on which range takes your fancy.
Easter Gift Delivery
Deliveries are operating smoothly in the courier network again, and we ourselves have been able to return to an estimated delivery day rather than a weekly delivery service. This means there are more dates to choose in the calendar and we will aim to deliver on or as close to this date as possible. Specific days are very much possible now, however we just point out these are not guaranteed dates as we still may have some staff illness and absences to contend with.
Easter this year falls on Sunday 17th April 2022, so there arejust under 2 weeks to go now. You will be able to pick Thursday 14th or Friday 15th April as your estimated delivery day, as thankfully the couriers in Ireland still carry out deliveries on Good Friday. The good thing about Easter is that the children have 2 weeks off school and the holiday is celebrated over a number of days, and so a specific date for delivery isn't of such high importance. In fact there are lots of Easter Gifts shipping out already in the lead up, as people just want to enjoy them now.
Sending an Easter Gift Basket to friends, family or employees will definitely result in serious brownie points for you. They are not only full of all the best Easter chocolate around, but they also have a high presentational impact due to all the bright colours, contents and cute cuddly toys. You don't just need to take our word for it either, as we received lots of lovely reviews about last years Easter Gifts.
