Baskets and Bags
Mary D'Alessandro
Now before you say "Oh, another gift basket company," you should take some time to check out her offerings. I took just a few minutes to look over her online catalog and was amazed by the variety of different baskets she offers -- and these aren't just your average fruit baskets. From food (of course), to pet toys, to garden hoses, her products hold almost everything under the sun.
If you can't find the perfect basket for your needs, she will work with you to build a custom masterpiece. She told me that one executive actually had her create baskets with complete steak dinners in them. Wouldn't that be a nice surprise?
Well, OK, not for me, since I'm a vegetarian, but you get the idea, right?
I chatted with Mary for over an hour. In talking with her I found that she really knows how to build her business and always has an eye out for opportunities. We were glancing over her complimentary copy of the Ann Arbor Business Review and not a page went by where she didn't find someone for whom she's made a basket. Obviously she knows how to keep her customers happy.
If you find yourself in need of a unique gift for a loved one or a business contact, you could do far worse than giving Mary a call. Tell her Greg sent you...
... It won't get you anything special, but I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it.
So, what was the best gift basket you've ever received?

Two days after coming home from the hospital with my firstborn, my neighbour came over with a basket of food still fresh from her oven.
I still remember how good it tasted.
