Gift basket ideas that will show mom just how much she is appreciated can be hard to find sometimes, especially if shopping is left to the last minute. A leading retailer of gift baskets, Gift Basket Ideas, Inc., is planning to step up their basket selection and also ensure their company is ready to handle the increase in sales.

Gift basket ideas eluding you for showing your mother or wife just how much she means to you and your family? Mother’s Day is fast approaching on Sunday, May 13th. While some people may leave their Mothers Day gift baskets shopping for mom to the last minute, experts at Mygiftbasketideas.com recommend that shopping and ordering both be done with plenty of time to spare.

Company customer service manager, Sarah Booth shared, “To get the best selection and ensure that the baskets are delivered on time, we highly suggest that our customers get their orders in at least four to five days ahead of the delivery date. Mother’s Day is one of those days where retailers, and even the courier companies, experience a higher than average workload. While our company is prepared to handle these very busy holidays, we can’t always speak for the couriers and delivery services that we work with. Typically we use very reliable courier services, but during peak periods, it can be hard to anticipate problems that they may experience.”

“Our design teams are also researching new and exciting choices in baskets to meet the needs of our clients. We offer gourmet selections, the contents of which are anything but cheap. It is our belief that if we can offer more options, then we can meet the needs of a wider audience. And, of course, make more mothers feel appreciated on their special day.”

The company also plans on ensuring that their website is well equipped to handle as much as a 60% increase in traffic in the weeks leading up to Mother’s Day. They are also working diligently to beef up their customer service capabilities with the goals of being able to handle the anticipated increase in volume.
