Last Minute Gift Ideas

Last Minute Gift Ideas – How I Got Out of a Jam

Being a last minute kind of guy I recently found myself in a pickle in regards to award gifts I was supposed to purchase for a company dinner. I had to get a solution fast for my list of Last Minute of Gifts. I needed a variety of items all engraved and I needed them before the end of the week for an awards ceremony which I was in charge of planning. Once I realized that I had let the task of ordering the gifts fall through the crack I contacted the local awards and trophy store in my town. They could not get the engraving done in time so I started searching online with the hope that I might find a store within driving distance somewhere that could help. Instead I found that one of my favorite gift shopping sites, Arttowngifts.com not only sold the items I needed; they could get the gifts engraved and shipped to me in time. What’s more, the recipients loved their gifts which were extremely high quality consider the low price I paid. For guys I ordered several of the Executive Putter Personalized Golf Sets and we gave the gals Personalized Wine Boxes. We also gave out some fun gifts such as a Personalized Sterling Silver Bottle Opener and Monogrammed Shot Glasses. On the tables we had a Personalized Coozies for everyone in attendance. They served as both place cards and favors. These Drink Holders make fantastic gifts. They come in Sterling Silver, Black Leather and Platinum Trim and Pink Leather and Silver Trim. Everyone was talking about what a nice gift they were. My client was ecstatic with the response to the evening and the gifts. 

The price I paid for the gifts was much less than I had been quoted by my local brick and mortar awards store. Plus the locals were going to charge an arm and leg for the engraving. At Arttowngifts.com the engraving was Free. Their selection of Personalized Giftsis extensive, everything from cuff-links and sterling tools for the guys to monogrammed lockets and bracelets for women to bar-ware, mugs and wine gifts for almost any occasion. In fact I am going to order items from their Personalized Gift Line for my Groomsmen. I also planned to order their Business Card Holders as a Promotional Tool for my consulting business.

This article about Last Minute Gift Ideas is also a good resource for more information. Arttowngifts.com and other sites now offer Same Day Delivery of a limited gift line including Wine Gifts, Fruit Baskets, Gourmet Gift Baskets, Balloons and more. They have organized their own hand delivery network across the United States and Canada so that customers can call in the morning and actually get a Wine Basket delivered in the afternoon. I call that service! You can select Champagne, White Wine or Red Wine. They even have a gift called Wine Aficionado’s Choice with three bottles of premium wine that is sure to please any recipient.  And if this is not enough they also off next day delivery of the most delicious looking Dessert Cakes and Cheesecakes I have seen. They make me hungry just looking at the photos! 

Now I am not sure what my experience suggests for the future of local retailers but I know that I will turn to the Internet and to Arttowngifts.com the next time I need a way out of a jam. When you need last minute gifts remember my story and count on Arttowngifts.com. They have an assortment of gifts that will help you get your last minute gifts there in time.
