First, I'd like to share with you how much of a roller coaster 2015 has been! We have been <a href="http://christmas-hamper.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/christmas-hampers-lookbook-2014.html" target="_blank">developing new relationships</a> with some exciting new suppliers (stay tuned) and as you may have noticed the website has evolved to a newer, fresher format.<br />
<br />
It has been great to get away from 2014, and experience a completely new re-invention of the brand and the business. Things are definitely on the up and it is just a good feeling to have all that growth and personal exploration behind us!<br />
<br />
Moving on - today I am sharing some interesting facts about the psychology of Christmas. I hope you find it interesting and take some value from it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">**^^'88'^^**</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Giving gifts at Christmas in 2015 </span>is such a subtle blend of timing, finding the right gift, and making the effort to connect to build a relationship
with the recipient.<br />
<br />
But it is not always so simple - I often see people being easily offended at what is otherwise <a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com/2015/10/christmas-hampers-melbourne.html" target="_blank">a totally acceptable gift</a>. And
in many cases this is entirely not the fault of the gift choice or the gift giver - but instead the person who is taking offense in the first place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zd3YxoUe7hI/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zd3YxoUe7hI?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
Here I am sharing the best advice and tips and hints for the psychology behind gift giving and how to make your Christmas present giving in 2015 the
most meaningful and successful ever. And, of course, we suggest you take the time to choose a gourmet hamper for your Christmas gift.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sideways-view/201412/the-psychology-christmas-gift-giving" target="_blank">Adrian Furnham Ph.D</a> asserts that
"The basic trouble is that gift-giving is "showing" rather than "telling" what you think about others. Gifts are one of the ways in which the
pictures that other have of us, in their minds, are transmitted materialistically. As a gift-giver, one needs to be sufficiently socially aware to
know what to give to whom and when, to have confidence in one's tastes and to know that one's motives will be correctly interpreted."<br />
<br />
This concept is most clearly <a href="http://huntervalleyhampers.com/christmas-2015/" target="_blank">demonstrated at Christmas time</a>, when as a corporate gift giver you have the responsibility to reach out and connect with
multiple clients across diverse backgrounds. Don't think that you can send them all a similar present and they will find themselves similarly
delighted with the gift hamper you have chosen for them.<br />
<br />
It comes down to making it clear that you have <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/dr-raj-persaud/the-psychology-of-christm_b_2357763.html" target="_blank">made the choice for a gift basket</a> from a
point of view of goodwill and sharing and that this is the main consideration.<br />
<br />
Furnham distinguishes five key features of gifts at Christmas time and how this impacts on the psychology of the giver and receiver of the present.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/obGjx8Hry3M/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/obGjx8Hry3M?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
1. <b>Personal History</b>: <a href="http://www.rochedalss.eq.edu.au/xmas/world.htm" target="_blank">Gifts that have nostalgia</a> value are very special. They may be an heirloom, or have been owned by a famous person. Heirlooms are
likely to acquire a sort of sacred status if carefully restored. But they may equally signify a past occasion shared by the giver and recipient. They
may represent <a href="http://fruitbaskets.net.au/" target="_blank">a place, an occasion, or an event </a>shared by the two that has special meaning. Souvenirs with special significance.<br />
<br />
2.<b> Sacrifice: </b>Some gifts, such as hand-crafted items, take considerable time and effort to produce. The hand-carved, sewn, embroidered or painted
item may be of limited monetary value, but of <a href="https://www.library.uni.edu/collections/special-collections/university-archives/christmas-traditions-uni" target="_blank">enormous personal value </a>to the recipient.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Surprise</b>: The unexpected gift is special and valued precisely because it was not anticipated. The surprise might relate to <a href="http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia/special-dates-and-events/public-holidays" target="_blank">when the gift is given</a>,
how it is given, or by whom. Brides describe<a href="http://newcastle-hampers.blogspot.com/2015/10/early-bird-christmas-hampers.html" target="_blank"> gifts selected from a wedding list</a> as "cold" because they lack spontaneity.<br />
<br />
4.<b> Helping/cheering up others</b>: When a gift is given with the express wish to cheer or help, it is often thought of as extremely thoughtful and
useful. It is an <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1937JRASC..31..347C" target="_blank">index of care</a>; a substitute for being there.<br />
<br />
5. The "perfect thing": The better people know each other, in terms of values, personality, humour and hopes, the more special and subtle they can be
in <a href="https://whatson.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/major-events/sydney-christmas" target="_blank">choosing the perfect gift</a>. A perfect gift is the one the recipient really wants, enjoys and appreciates, and possibly would not buy for him or
herself. In short,<a href="http://darby-street.blogspot.com/2015/10/christmas-hampers-newcastle.html" target="_blank"> ideal gifts are those that are still treasured after many years</a>. The perfect gift is wanted, needed, deserved and appreciated. It
has to be very thoughtfully and carefully chosen.<br />
<br />
Maren Hennemuth agrees, saying that "<a href="http://www.worldcrunch.com/culture-society/the-psychology-of-christmas-can-shape-your-whole-life/consumption-holiday-gifts-presents-behavior-%20relationships-family-psychology/c3s17747/" target="_blank">Christmas is just as important for adults</a>. Human beings are social animals, and they need rituals" She goes on to quote Peter Walschburger who sees Christmas as "it changes our profane daily existence into a sacred fundamental experience."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/AboutCouncil/MediaReleases/Pages/ChristmasmagiclightsupMelbourne.aspx" target="_blank">Giving money instead of a gift</a> is not recommended. "When I give somebody 50 euros, my relationship to this person is thus worth the equivalent of
50 euros," he explains. "But what does that mean, having a relationship worth 50 euros? Is that a lot or is it very little?"<br />

IN Australia, the tradition dates to <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/12639737?searchTerm=%22Mrs%20J.%20Heyden%22&searchLimits=" target="_blank">Mrs Janet Heyden of Leichardt Sydney</a>, who began bringing gifts to lonely and forgotten mothers at a state home for women.

Mothers Day is also an exploitation horror film that was banned in Australia in 1985 - it is still quite horrifying and simply offensive - you would do well not to watch the 1980 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvM3cM010Mk" target="_blank">Mothers Day Film</a> here.<br />

As a small business owner we love hearing feedback about our products, service and business in general. After all, who doesn't love talking about small business at a barbeque and how many friends and family are just plain interested in their own business. But with all feedback - there is the potential for opinion and personal agendas and that is what I want to touch on in today's blog post.<br /><br />First, some background. We have been in business for coming up to eight years now and over this time we have had positive and negative experiences with customers and clients across all types of circumstances. Honestly, I can say that in over ninety five percent of interactions the order, product and delivery goes effortlessly - everything performs as expected and all systems operate as designed.<br /><br />Next, there are the other maybe three percent of times where there is something to complicate the order. Perhaps a wrong delivery address is provided by the purchaser, or a delivery recipient moves from one hospital ward to another, or the courier is unable to access the property for unforeseen circumstances. This means we have to spring into action and find solutions on the go to resolve the issue and ensure that the <a href="http://huntervalleyhampers.com/product/fresh-fruit-basket/" target="_blank">fruit basket</a> arrives in a timely and presentable manner.<br /><br />Again, in the vast majority, we're talking 90% plus, things are amicably resolved and the product gets to where it has to go. <br /><br />But this still leaves the odd order that just doesn't work - for whatever reason - be it the person has left for interstate by the time the product arrives, or the courier doesn't get the package to the hospital ward before the person leaves the bed. Or the hamper cannot be delivered on the specific day due to a holiday or illness or lack of staffing. It simply does happen in the course of business and there is little you can do about it in those rare occasions it actually hits the fan.<br />
<br />
Now, we are prompt to offer a refund or replacement as a matter of course and in most cases this is sufficient - even if it does mean to some extent we self insure every parcel we ship in terms of having to replace or refund it if something goes astray. That's just business and that's what keeps our margins tight.<br /><br />But it is disappointing to see negative reviews - especially when you have done your best and given a full refund - and only to see the disgruntled person storm off and write a negative review in the heat of the moment when every avenue has been exhausted. I am sure most negative review writers would cringe if they were to read what they wrote a few weeks later and feel ashamed and embarrassed at their unwarranted vitriol. But then, that's a new aspect of business where the online review can stay in cyberspace for years afterwards and garner warning s from new customers that they are cautious for a single event that happened years ago.<br /><br />So I feel better now, not justifying or explaining negative reviews away, but perhaps putting some perspective on what motivates a person to go to great lengths to write a negative review in the first place. I am sending out my forgiveness and sympathy that the person chose this route, and offer my sincere apology that they felt so embittered and angry that venting their spleen publicly was the only way they could possibly feel as though they would avenge their anger. To you, I say sorry, and to myself and my business, I say we will continue to strive harder and work tirelessly to avoid further incidents. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">How Christmas Hampers are great for your business.</span><br /><br />After years designing and selling Christmas Hampers, Kacy Fletcher has learned a few things about giving Christmas Gifts in the corporate setting. <br />
<br />Kacy has been making handmade hampers for Hunter Valley Hampers and shipping them across Australia since 2007. <br /><br />Working with so many different clients over the years, Kacy has discovered two amazing secrets about Christmas hampers. And she shares them with us today.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">1 - Doubt.</span><br /><br />You know you've had a great year - business is good, you've implemented succesful strategies and made some real progress. You want to share your joy and gratitude with you clients - but you're not sure how. Sending Christmas hampers for the first time is a real challenge to your own doubts and feelings of worthiness. Do my clients really deserve this? Am I really going to send them a Christmas hamper?<br /><br />"It still happens every year - we get an inquiry early in November, and put together a quote and some custom options, and everything looks good to go - but then the client stalls and we don't hear from him for weeks - until mid December. when he has finally overcome his doubt and decided to order." <br /><br />Kacy explains how clients overcome their doubt and order Christmas hampers to share with their clients, business colleagues and corporates. "And then he places the order and it's almost too late - either a product is sold out, or the shipping won't make it across Australia in time, or we are simply booked out - and the client leaves without his fully completed order.<br /><br />To overcome this - Kacy urges you to get in early and order with confidence - not doubt - and ensure your good wishes and gratefulness makes it through to the people who count for you.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">2 - Your Hampers Reflect your Standards</span><br /><br />You're a smart, intelligent business person and you know your business well - but when it comes to Christmas Hampers -let's face it - you're out of your depth. Here's the tip - see the hamper as a reflection not of how little you paid, or what a bargain you got, but instead of what values and standards you hold.<br /><br />Too often the best Christmas Hamper gesture is simple ruined by sending a cheap industrial cardboard box with some ordinary, supermarket style products. Like $7 bottles of wine - you wouldn't even drink - and crackers from the biscuit aisle, and shortbread that - let's be honest - no one ever eats...<br /><br />You got them on the cheap - from a mainstream site with big advertising and imported products off the pallet... Such a poor reflection of what you and your business stand for...<br /><br />It's different when you send a precious, handmade gift. People actually can tell instantly that this is no ordinary Christmas hamper. <br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Australian Christmas Hampers</span><br /><br />Christmas symbolizes so much more than just the end of the year, or new beginnings or time away from work. Christmas is a time of opportunity to connect and share with people - and present yourself, your brand and your image YOUR way. <br /><br />And a really impressive, generous gesture drives home how important your respect this relationship as well as how you present your business. <a href="http://www.huntervalleyhampers.com/" target="_blank">Choosing handmade Christmas Hampers from Hunter Valley Hampers is the right decision.</a></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Less Wasteful Packaging for Christmas Hampers</span><br /><br />At <a href="http://www.huntervalleyhampers.com/" target="_blank">Hunter Valley Hampers</a>, business owners Kacy Fletcher is crystal clear where her motivation for green-conscious product packaging comes from - reusing! Shortly after specializing the gift baskets and gourmet hamper industry as a ground breaking entrepreneur since 2007, Ms Fletcher knows her work when it comes to delivering a Christmas hamper.<br /><br />When it comes to packaging and recycling is quite shocking, and the overall state of the industry. In a gourmet hampers Australia first, Kacy explains how the illusion of size and bulk actually works against your value for money proposition. And exactly how some actually simple expert tips and tricks can ensure you get the best pamper hamper or edible arrangements for your dollar this Xmas.<br /><br />Too frequently gift hampers are developed to appear as bulky as possible basically for visual appeals - with air filled packages and inner containers filling up the vast of the hamper. This brings about an advantageous impression on shipping, when the recipient is certainly surprised with what might appear to be a substantial package sitting on their doorstep.<br /><br />As the hamper box is opened and the inner packaging and void filler is stripped away, it soon becomes clear that there is just few items of gourmet or Christmas value inside. Unfortunately, this approach simply works because rushed and time poor business buyers simply choose the lowest price and the biggest looking hamper setup. Kacy explains precisely why that will not work and more in this particular insightful interview.<br /><br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Get Well Soon Gifts</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />In her time having the picnic gift basket and fruit bouquet business Kacy has seen a few of the worst instances of deceiving customers with huge boxes, loaded with goods like crackers and crisps that are mainly air filled, then saturated in a sea cellulose peanuts. This means when you strip away most of the inner and outer packaging, you end up with a half dozen items on your kitchen space bench top and half a rubbish filled with packaging. Deciding to send a basket should not mean that you are making the choice of more packaging over the right gift hamper.<br /><br />Thank you gifts and Christmas Hampers for company clients are specifically susceptible to the over packaging complication, as the only people who really see within the hamper are the recipient - typically at a festive, specifically forgiving time of year. The disappointment and head scratching of the recipient is lost in the middle of the noise and excitement of the Christmas Season.<br /><br />In a recent short article in the South China Morning Post, world famous gift hamper specialists concurred that inefficient internal packaging of hampers is the primary problem. Kacy Fletcher saw this firsthand herself at Australia's home of independent handmade gourmet hampers - Hunter Valley Hamper.com when she had an excess of boxes in a larger size. It was much more price efficient up front to use the large cartons and just revert to even more inner wrapping than to go and source all new closer suitable containers.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Using a bigger than required size package means that freight costs are greater, but with bulk courier discounts, it can nonetheless be better to use the bigger box, pay marginally greater shipping and run out the larger cartons quickly. By doing this<a href="http://huntervalleyhampers.blogspot.com/2014/09/green-christmas-hampers.html" target="_blank"> the hamper company</a> avoids having to re purchase the smaller box dimension which can be a substantial impost for sending out a fruit basket. Keeping this in mind it simply works to use more inner filler and leave the recipient to have to deal with the excess packaging when the delivery arrives.<br /><br />"At Hunter Valley Hampers we appreciate the exorbitant wastage that goes with most corporate and business hamper firms," Ms Fletcher states, "We have seen samples where as much as two thirds of the hamper package is loaded with styrofoam blocks - and this is from a big, trusted global firm - it's just not good enough!" Hunter Valley Hampers uses a lightweight but 100 % recycled inner filler, so recipients are not burdened with the problem of disposal of styrofoam blocks.<br /><br />"One of the worst offenders is those little cellulose peanuts - they just drive me NUTZ when they spill out everywhere all over the place! They might get stuck - so I find myself crawling around on hands and knees picking up cellulose peanuts when in fact I should be relaxing with my gourmet hamper!<br /><br />It is a real awakening call when rather than sending a many thanks hamper to a valued buddy or client - you are instead sending them the burden of cleaning up and chasing those peanuts around the house when they blow just about anywhere.<br /></div>

<br />Hampers by Hunter Valley-made artisan food and gourmet gifts are widely
appreciated and noted for their taste, freshness and local ingredients.
Finding quality local farm gate products is what the team behind the 26
year old business values most. And the added feature of sharing birthday
gifts and<a href="http://www.fruithampers.info/get-well-soon.html" target="_blank"> baby gift baskets </a>with customers who truly appreciate gourmet
flavors and gifts makes all the difference.<br /><br />One of the surprises
of online shopping for the Hunter Valley Hampers crew was the appeal of
the picnic basket - people love sharing an award winning picnic basket
with friends as birthday gifts. Imagine the fresh fruit and gourmet food
together in a basket wrapped to you. There is a great need for people
to share edible arrangements and fruit gift baskets with people they
know in the local area.<br /><br />For more and more Australians, on the internet buying is an everyday aspect of life. When it comes to choosing thank you gifts and birthday gifts that people are looking at hampers and picnic baskets for inspiration, it's no wonder. What better way to share and connect with your loved one or family member than with a pamper hamper or edible arrangement? Getting it correct means you can also find a healthy gift - and two important factors in healthy lifestyle are getting enough fiber and being mindful.<br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Baby Gift Baskets and Hamper Ideas</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of all - what does fiber intake or controlling your thoughts have to do with ordering chocolate gift baskets or get well gifts? Certainly not much admittedly, but for some thank you gift ideas the simple idea of giving a fruit basket can make all the difference. Let's say you would usually take people out for an evening meal as the birthday present - but instead you bought a fruit bouquet online. This immediately changes the concept from one of indulgence and luxury to one of health and wellness and longevity - certainly a much better idea than just getting on the piss with Chinese meals again.<br /><br />If you are not open and aware you can not possibly give baby gift baskets that have meaning. When you send a basket and make the connection - it is your choice to give thank you gift ideas and knowing the person well makes all the difference.<br /><br />It's no surprise when it comes to selecting <a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">thank you gifts </a>and birthday

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just in time for your special</span></span> milestone celebrations, new baby arrivals
and sympathy events, corporate gift buyers can now treat their team and
workers to luxury gift hampers. As a way to send best wishes, award
winning fruit gifts are second to none and ensure <a href="http://www.fruitbaskets.net.au/blog-posts/best-get-well-soon-messages/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">your personal message</a>
arrives amongst a basket brimming with the season's freshest fruit. <br />
<br />
Once confined to a specific few corporate clients, the <a href="http://www.fruitbaskets.net.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">exceptional fresh fruit packed baskets and hampers created by FruitBaskets.net.au </a>are now available to buy via next day shipping across all Sydney residential areas and CBD, and are sure to become a popular of get well soon gifts and <a href="http://getwellfruit.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/edible-arrangements-sydney.html" target="_blank">edible arrangements</a>. <br />
<br />
Each edible fruit arrangement is not limited to just fruit only - you
can elect to create your very own designer impression with a choice of
gourmet luxury add-ons like French Champagne from the house of Moet - or
Hunter Valley wine from respected winemaker Audrey Wilkinson. Why not
make a luxury gift hamper suitable for a sharing celebration and add
gourmet add-ons like quince paste, fig paste and dukka and antipasto.
There is essentially no limit to the flavor combos obtainable across the
FruitBaskets.net.au website - don't imagine it is fruit only.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">New Fruit Hampers Launched 2014</span></h2>
<br />
The new product launch behind FruitBaskets.net.au 2014 fruit collection is made available in abundant portion size standard and large sizes. The standard fruit offering is called the<b> Fruit Basket</b>, and comes in a wicker basket complete with 17-20 pieces of handpicked fruit. The large fruit product is known as the fruit hamper and is a more complete design, with up to 30 pieces of fruit offered.<br />
<br />
When asked what goes into a <a href="http://www.sydneyfruitbaskets.com/" target="_blank">edible fruit arrangement for free delivery</a>, Kacy Fletcher from FruitBaskets.net.au was forthright to the point - "We feature a pineapple or melon as the foundation builder for the creation - they work really well to build around and give the other fruit pieces back up and leverage.<br />
<br />
"Next, we add three or four bananas - again as a backing for the overall fruit layout. Now we have created a little bowl effect for the edible fruit arrangement - it is just an issue of filling in the basket with pairs and trios of fresh seasonal fruit," Kacy illustrates as she touches the boxes of just delivered fruit surrounding her, <br />
<br />
"So at the moment you can expect apples, pears, avocado, grapes, mango, strawberries, stone fruit, nectarines, plums, peaches, cherries, oranges, mandarins, kiwi fruit - there simply is no fresh fruit arrangement idea we won't look into.".<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">FREE Delivery now included with Fruit Hampers</span></h2>
<br />
A key factor to consider in each and every gourmet gift hamper is the
option for free delivery - and buyers who order from FruitBaskets.net.au will rave to note that delivery is free all the time - no questions
asked. Our market research suggested that busy mums and sidetracked
executive assistants have little regard for extras and unexpected
increases in price as they checkout on a website. So we made a change
for <a href="http://www.fruithampers.info/sydney-fruit-baskets.html" target="_blank">office fruit at work </a>- delivery free - always.<br />
<br />
And it's a fair query about fruit baskets to question - just what do I do with a fruit basket once it is delivered? Kacy advocates for corporate and office fruit at work situations - the best way to share the visual appeal and striking presentation is to place the fruit basket in reception and leave is on display for the rest of the day - or at least until there is time to office share the fruit delivery. Then, simply peel the clear wrapping and peer inside the wicker basket to reveal a fresh fruit basket for all of us to share and enjoy.<br />
<br />
Part of the success story behind an award winning and highly regarded established enterprise is giving fantastic service and reliable delivery terms. For extraordinary customer service - FruitBaskets.net.au are peerless and enjoy a thriving social media appearance across Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest - plus a system of supporting fresh fruit blogs and highly commended feature articles all add weight and authority to the product. It seems get well soon gifts from the edible arrangement experts are here to stay in Sydney CBD and suburban areas.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Grilled Pineapple + Mango Salad.</span></h2>
<br />
1 pineapple, peeled, trimmed, cored, and sliced into 2cm slices.<br />
2 to 3 ripe good sized mangoes, skinned, pitted and cut into cubes.<br />
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander.<br />
1 tablespoon sliced fresh garden mint.<br />
1/4 teaspoon dry cayenne pepper.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Preheat your bbq and spray oil on the hotplates. Cook the pineapple rings for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the pineapple is cooked through, the sugars start to blister up to the surface, and you can view the caramelisation get under way. Remove from grill and let cool down for a minute.<br /><br />Cut the pineapple rings into 2cm wedges. Shake the pineapple with the mango, mint and coriander. Shower the cayenne pepper over the put together salad and serve while the pineapple is still heated.<br /><br />This salad keeps well, covered in the refrigerator, for a couple of days. It works well hot or cool, as a lunchtime or barbeque side. Enjoy and remember to share your best wishes.</span></i><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Four Simple Health and Diet Tips
</i></span></span></span><br /><br />
The latest diet fad and new age trend may spark your interest - but nothing beats
simple good health. Looking to the past for inspiration, we are now following the
simple diet and meal plans of our grandparents for less complicated and more healthy
food options. <a href="http://newcastle-hampers.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/find-fruit-basket-delivery.html" target="_blank"> Finding a fruit basket filled with simple unblemished fruit direct from the markets </a>is the ideal way to keep in touch with natural, wholesome goodness.
<br /><br />Here's some easy to follow tips to<a href="http://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/" target="_blank"> keep your diet simple and healthy.</a><br /><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">Look back at what your grandparents ate. </span></span></span></i><br />
Most likely they did not start their meal preparation with jars and cans of sauces
and a flavour base as they are now called - but instead real ingredients and simple
flavours.
Whist there is a place for thick sauces and decadent toppings - there is also a clean
simplicity in presenting <a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/healthy-get-well-fruit-ideas.html" target="_blank">fresh food without added extras. </a><br /><br />Sometimes the food itself
doesn't need to be embellished and improved upon - like steamed broccoli is just
perfect the way it is - no need for a slathering of butter.
In the same way the simple gesture of offering a <a href="http://fruit-baskets-john-hunter-hospital.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/lake-macquarie-%20%20private-hampers.html" target="_blank">get well hamper for delivery to John Hunter Hospital</a> can be just the tonic for a battered ego once you are laid up in the
ward. No need for fancy balloons or trinkets - just <a href="http://fruit-baskets-delivered.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/banana-fruit-baskets-%20%20delivery.html" target="_blank">the simple honesty of fresh fruit and a genuine personal message</a>.
<br /><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /><i>Seek out Get Help online
</i></span></span></span><br /><br />

and user advice so you cna start moving towards a healthier you. By adopting a

</span></span></span></i><br /><br />In 2014, we have complicated our lives in so many ways it is sometimes difficult to
get outside all the noise and pare back life to the bare essentials - like people who
matter, doing a job that inspires and motivates you, and <a href="http://www.yogaforall.com.au/" target="_blank">finding some sort of inner peace.</a> When you make the change to a simple life, you are <a href="http://gourmetfood-online.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/detox-with-fresh-fruit-hamper.html" target="_blank">embracing the simple food philosophy </a>also, giving the <a href="http://sydneyfruitbaskets.com/" target="_blank">fresh benefits of fruit gift baskets</a> full power to have

<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Apples are a mainstay</b></span> of the<a href="http://huntervalleyhampers.blogspot.com/2014/02/fruit-baskets-with-apples.html" target="_blank"> traditional fruit basket</a> or <a href="http://www.fruithampers.info/get-well-soon.html" target="_blank">get well soon hamper </a>and make a bright, crunchy contrast to the other softer fruits. Apples are absolutely authentic and original when it comes to the fruit world – they do not grow true to seed – which means each and every seed in your apple has a different potential apple variety! <br />
<br />
There have been in excess of 7500 varieties of different apples documented over time and of these, there are still about 150 plus still in commercial production! That means there are plenty of different tastes, types and textures for you to choose from when you are assembling a fruit gift idea.<br />
<br />
There is also the growing movement for apple growers to favour heirloom and ancient apple varieties over the newer variations, so the older classics are constantly evolving for the modern marketplace. In Australia, commercial constraints like transportability, colour retention and longevity of flavour has strongly influenced the varietals available – which means you are most likely to see these<a href="http://fruit-baskets-john-hunter-hospital.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/fruit-baskets-cold-press-fruit-juice.html" target="_blank"> Australian Apples</a>.<br />
<br />
Bogle – a miniature Aussie apple with golden red blushed skin – perfect for baking.<br />
<br />
Bonza – Crisp eating apple derived from the Jonathan.<br />
<br />
Gala – a cross originally from New Zealand, with better tasting strains like imperial, royal and regal making the best for the table.<br />
<br />
Golden Delicious – from the US, pale green with golden flecks – ideal for eating and cooking with.<br />
<br />
Granny Smith – Originally from a seedling in Sydney, now widespread across the world – a tart green eating apple.<br />
<br />
Jonathan – A smallish popular eating apple that is not seen often due to it's poor storage.<br />
<br />
Pink Lady – From Western Australia, a cross between the lady William and Delicious apple with good eating flesh.<br />
<br />
Red Delicious – the most widely grown dessert apple in the world, with a distinctive crown of ridges around the “freckle” at the base of the core.<br />
<br />
Red Fuji – from Japan, the most distinctive feature for this eating apple is the honey core which is a concentration of sugars – highly desirable. <br />
<br />
Sundowner – another WA cross, this apple is a mellow version of the pink lady with simlar long term storage abilities.<br />
<br />
Australia boasts the <a href="http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/vegetables-and-fruits/" target="_blank">ideal climate to grow apples,</a> with a noted lack of apple pests that plague other continents and an ideal climate to ensure sustained vigorous growth. We don't have to suffer the scourge of Apple Blight or hard to control pests like apple codling moth. <br />
<br />
It is the buyers perogative to ensure that a diverse range of tasty, appealing apples are brought to market by making strong preferences for these strengths and not buying product that lacks any desirable qualities. Choosing fresh apples has become very difficult due to the long store time and prevalence of cool rooms for fresh fruit at all<a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/hnter-valley-food-wine-expo.html" target="_blank"> major fruit and vegetable markets </a>across Australia.<br />
<br />
But in saying that, the long term storage of apples has always been a feature of the fruit – going back centuries earlier people were in need of fresh fruit over the long dark winters. So it is quite wrong to think that the long storage times of modern fruit are wrong or not expected – it is just part of what has worked for apples and apple growers <br />

According to an article in the Sunday Telegraph, December 29, 2013, Men are “still getting things wrong when attempting to choose the perfect gift for their other half.”<br /><br />The article notes that a staggering “42% of women return presents from their significant others as soon as they can” – which is quite an indictment on the ability of men to choose meaningful and appropriate gifts for their partners. As an indicator of what men really think that their partners want, it demonstrates that men are out of touch with their partners and have simply no idea of what is currently in demand.<br /><br />As a <a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">gift hamper and anniversary gift specialist,</a> I appreciate that men do make some brief investigations into finding the ideal gift, but the search is often short and unrewarding simply because there is a dearth of relevant material out there. In other words, men have a bit of a look around and then give up and resort to the old fall back of perfume, flowers or gift cards.<br /><br />But it isn’t all bad news – just under half the respondents (45%) of the survey noted that they had to return the items bought for the present due to incorrect size or colour. This is great news as it supports the idea that although the minor details may be wrong, the general thought and style was nearer to what the recipient expected.<br /><br />Another big factor in buying a birthday present online is choosing a product that is for the household – like a steam cleaner or vacuum instead of a personal intimate gift for the person. Men seriously blunder in this area, thinking that a new piece of equipment will be appreciated when in fact it is just that – a new piece of equipment.<br /><br />When searching online for birthday gifts and presents delivered to work, people in Australia are just coming around to the immediacy and freshness of an artfully arranged fruit basket. Unlike in the United States, where <a href="http://www.fruithampers.info/" target="_blank">Fruit Baskets and Fruit Hampers have an established widespread appeal</a>, Australia is an emerging market for designer gift baskets and hampers. Many men would do well to choose a well thought out fruit hamper as a birthday gift for women instead of wondering which size to buy and whether or not this would offend her.<br /><br />Next time you are looking online for a women’s gift or present, remember to consider the fresh fruit appeal of a fruit hamper and how sharing dew-fresh fruit direct from the markets in a wicker basket with your personal message (we can even help with writing your message!) is sure to make a smiling impact on delivery. Oh, and you can be 100% certain that your partner will not be bringing the fruit basket back for an exchange because she did not like it!<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1Bondi NSW 2026, Australia-33.8938118 151.26307380000003-33.9069923 151.24290380000002 -33.880631300000005 151.28324380000004tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982424659404986312.post-5717820016008473612013-12-09T15:11:00.002+11:002013-12-09T15:11:50.907+11:00Christmas Hampers 2013<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Giving Christmas Hampers as Family Presents</h4>

Yes, it's <a href="http://christmas-hamper.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/christmas-hampers-for-business-gifts.html" target="_blank">Christmas Time</a> - and we all know what that means! If you rolled your eyes or yawned or approach the whole Season Greetings with a cynical or negative attitude, stop and think for a minute. <i>Making the difference between a joyous sharing occasion and a slow, sad nothingness is sometimes all a matter of what you actually do. </i><br />
So for <a href="http://www.defence.gov.au/christmas/mail/" target="_blank">Christmas 2013</a>, make a promise to actually get involved and <a href="http://www.sidsandkids.org/get-involved/christmas-cards-hampers/" target="_blank">DO SOMETHING</a> instead of just blindly mumbling platitudes and going through the motions.

My husband and I haven't shared Christmas gifts for many years now. It started as "let's <a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/personal-christmas-traditions.html" target="_blank">spend all the Xmas Present money </a>on the children," way back when we were struggling to get established. <br />
<br />
Then as we got older and the kids became a little more independent it moved on to "well we have whatever we need and buy what ever we want so really why <a href="http://www.inspirecommunity.org.au/News/tabid/69/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/62/Christmas-Hampers--Donations-Needed.aspx" target="_blank">focus on the specific day of Christmas</a>, or the Holiday period?". </div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://huntervalleyhampers.com/policy/" target="_blank">Christmas Gifts with Meaning and Emotion</a></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
And now as we are really even older ( I hate how that happens but it does!) we have moved to we have so much and others are clearly less fortunate than us so we take what we would spend on Christmas Presents and give it to the local Charity Christmas Appeal. <br />
<br />
I have grown up with guilt as many have and find myself sometimes <a href="http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Christmas_tips_to_reduce_the_stress" target="_blank">feeling way too guilty about what I have and what others don't - and at Christmas Time</a> it seems to highlight that feeling even more. </div>

<br />
It sounds funny, but I really do get so much more out of thinking that some child has something that they may not have had because of our<a href="http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/christmas-season-celebrations" target="_blank"> Charity Giving at Christmas.</a><br />
<br />
To me the spirit of <a href="http://www.foodbanknsw.org.au/christmas-hampers/" target="_blank">Christmas is ALL about giving</a> and I get a mini high on it so that's my gift to myself. Being generous is such a private pleasure, but it does alleviate some of my anxiety that if it weren't for some damn lucky financial decisions and just sticking it out during the bad times, my life would be a whole lot worse than it has been.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Spirit of Christmas Hampers as Presents</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The <a href="http://www.waroona.crc.net.au/family-support-1/christmas-hampers" target="_blank">Spirit of Christmas Giving</a> is actually doing something - not merely nice thoughts - whatever makes you feel happy and if Presents and Xmas gifts do it - hey the fact that we find what makes us happy is a gift in itself. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://gourmetgiftbox.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/personal-christmas-traditions.html" target="_blank">Enjoy your christmas, Xmas, Chrissy </a>- whatever you choose to call it - here's to a happy, healthy and fun one.</div>

After an exhaustive judging process, as revealed to our readership and enthusiastic followers by the highly regarded and critically acclaimed leaders in the industry.<br /><br />
<h2>
<i><span style="color: red;">Christmas is a Special Time of Year</span></i></h2>
<br />It is also the time to get a few foodie friends around and put together you gingerbread house, mince pies, shortbread, biscotti, panettone, panforte and whatever other regional delicacies you include in <a href="http://bestofnewcastle.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/christmas-2013-in-newcastle.html" target="_blank">your Christmas Celebration. Especially in Australia,</a> freeze ahead – one of the best things about most Christmas fare is that it can be made ahead of time and frozen – so on the day you can slowly release the frozen products and they can act as cooling agents around the kitchen.<br /><i><br /></i><br />
<h2>
<i><span style="color: red;">Christmas Day</span></i></h2>
On the big day you should be all ready to go with a memorable Christmas Day since you have made the time and effort to put in some planning beforehand. Remember to <a href="http://huntervalleyhampers.com.au/christmas-2013/" target="_blank">allow for those who will not be present at the table by sending them a Christmas Hamper filled with some unique, hard to find regional fare just like handmade </a>so they too can share in your Christmas spirit. Christmas is a time for people dropping in unexpectedly, so having on hand a ready supply of extra items and fresh produce is always convenient and gives a positive impression that you have indeed prepared for and indeed expected their arrival. <a href="http://merewether-beach.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/newcastle-gifts-for-christmas-2013.html" target="_blank"> Merry Christmas from the team behind Hunter Valley Hampers</a> and best wishes for a joyous sharing time with your family and friends.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5Pokolbin NSW 2320, Australia-32.7726356 151.30302989999996-32.9863176 150.98030639999996 -32.5589536 151.62575339999995tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982424659404986312.post-611577940674425512013-10-03T10:09:00.000+10:002013-10-03T10:09:11.523+10:00Order A Christmas Hamper Online<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br /><i><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Three insider tips to get the best results when you order a Christmas Hamper online.</span></b></i><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #274e13;">Insider's Tip # 1 </span></span><span style="color: #274e13;">- </span><br /><br />Can I get this hamper locally at <a href="http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/content/Stores" target="_blank">Officeworks</a> or <a href="http://myer-hampers.com.au/" target="_blank">Myer</a> - if the answer is yes, go and buy it locally. <br /><br />Usually they have a big discount the closer to Christmas you get so you can realistically be looking at anything from<span style="font-size: large;"> 25% to 70% Off </span>for in-stock, off-the-floor hampers. <br /><br />But remember, they are nothing extraordinary and you can tell immediately that they are from a discount superstore. And <span style="font-size: large;">if you're obsessed with low price</span>, and couldn't possibly pay for delivery - this is your best bet.<br /><br /><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;">Insider's Tip # 2 - </span></span><br /><br />If you need to send many hampers out across Australia, to various destinations, <span style="font-size: large;">choose a store that offers FREE delivery</span>, or a <a href="http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/4029-shipping-costs-shopping.html" target="_blank">single $8.50 delivery for the whole consignment</a>. This is simply unbeatable and you will make up for any lost or damaged items by claiming extra hampers to be sent out and if there is any mix ups with delivery.<br /><br />Free delivery can amount to $1000 or more on a diverse delivery to mulitple destinations, and <span style="font-size: large;">for a $2000 order, that is nearly saving 35%</span>. I know <a href="http://www.salehoo.com/blog/free-shipping-does-not-increase-your-profits" target="_blank">it makes no business sense at all to offer FREE delivery </a>except for safe metropolitan deliveries, so take advantage of this offer before the hamper business disappears. I know of insiders who have switched hamper companies each successive Christmas and still have not paid for delivery to this day. <br /><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;">Insider's Tip # 3</span></span><br /><br />If you actually are looking for a<span style="font-size: large;"> quality, authentic hamper, filled with unique, regionally relevant food and wine</span> - and trust that your recipient will value these points of difference. Then - well, there's really only one choice - a brand established in 1988 and still nationally recognised as <a href="http://www.huntervalleyhampers.com/" target="_blank">an indicator of prestige, handmade products</a> and careful classic styling and presentation.<br /><br />Hunter Valley Hampers.<br /><br />You're invited to share our work with your friends, family and business colleagues.

The Hunter Valley Vineyards is cool, crisp and clear in the sunny winter light of late winter, August 2013. The sky was blue with a few freckled clouds and we were not crowded going to the tourist attractions. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: purple;">Gift Giving in 2013</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br />PRESS_RELEASE.COM_JULY_22</span><br />
<br />We all appreciate the warm glow that giving and being generous inspires in us, yet in 2013 it is still painfully obvious that, on the whole, we are still more driven by “getting” as oppose to “giving”.<br />
<br />
Just thinking about other people and expressing this through a thoughtful gesture like <a href="http://www.fruithampers.info/send-fruit-baskets-sydney.html" target="_blank">sharing a fruit basket </a>can make your world a better place. It is scientifically proven that a generous attitude benefits the giver as much as the receiver.
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Valuing Thoughtfulness
</span><br />
Giving a Gift Hamper is an expression of spirit, and powerfully relates that you have considered the other person’s situation and made a positive, meaningful show of support. The act of kindness costs nothing in and of itself, but the feeling of undivided attention definitely acts as a catalyst to change the way we feel.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Creating Great Memories</span><br />
In the day to day bustle of life, where saving money is often given too high a priority, <a href="http://www.sydneyfruitbaskets.com/buy-here.html" target="_blank">giving a Fruit Hamper </a>offers validation, and a gesture of meaningful connection that is remembered. Too often we pause to think that it would be “nice to” send a gift, but when it comes to picking up the phone and making the call with delivery details, we find ourselves just not that emotionally available.
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Give Because You Can, Not Because You Are “Owed”</span><br />
Once you set aside your own feelings of resentment and being hard done by, the release of giving to a friend who is lonely, recovering from illness or experiencing a moment in life is nothing short of magic. Being appreciated as a valued friend is something that we all cherish, and despite what we may tell ourselves – something we can all afford. In this light, it is not hard to make the right decision and choose a Fresh Fruit Basket Delivered for $59.<br /><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Becoming Someone Who is Appreciative and Gracious</span><br />
We all strive for self improvement and as the sales of self help books attest, the social appetite for becoming a better person is insatiable. Demonstrating your own willingness to give, share and take the real life opportunity to connect in a caring a positive way is the first step toward a fulfilling this lifestyle goal. Isn’t it time you shared a <a href="http://fruit-baskets-john-hunter-hospital.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/fruit-basket-to-john-hunter-hospital.html" target="_blank">Fresh Fruit Basket</a>?

You know the feeling - when a member of your staff is off work with a serious medical complaint and you have been given the responsibility of arranging a fruit gift. <br />
<br />
You do a quick online search and all you come up with a florists and affiliate sites. The florists try hard, but the basket is small and the fruit included you can count on one hand, whilst the affiliate sites pass on your order to the nearest local and take a big chunk of your money for the privilege.</div>

So what to do?<br />
<br />
Imagine if there was a dedicated fruit basket specialist who ships across Sydney with market fresh fruit?<br />
<br />
Imagine if your fruit basket was literally brimming with fresh fruit - you see, we buy our fruit in boxes, direct from the markets and with our best price guarantee, we don't have to be as miserly with the fruit - in fact, we love going overboard a little - we see it as advertising in the hamper you get. And we all know how powerful word of mouth advertising is.<br />
<br />
So keep your options open and make the switch for your next<a href="http://www.sydneyfruitbaskets.com/buy-here.html" target="_blank"> fruit basket</a> or <a href="http://www.fruithampers.info/about-us.html" target="_blank">fruit hamper</a>.<br />

Promoting your website online is as simple as regularly updating your blog, keeping tabs on a Facebook page, maintaining a presence in industry forums and submitting relevant articles and authoritative advice. Sounds confusing? Well it can be to those who have to maintain their business in the “real world” and then find there is a parallel “online world” that demands the same level of commitment and accountability. <br /><br />So you are best advised to outsource you online web promotion – or at least get steered in the right direction with an introductory training session with <a href="http://www.newcastledigital.com.au/online-web-promotion.html" target="_blank">Newcastle Digital.</a><br />But back to the fundamentals of online web promotion - which is the basic truth that a website just left to it’s own devices will not magically flourish and attract traffic and convert sales – it will slowly wither and age and not really do much at all.<br /><br />So what we need to do is get your website out there mingling with the crowd – with like minded similar sites brimming with customers and sales reps from your suppliers and your tradeshows and conferences and the like. Someone has to be putting your website out there so it is slowly building an presence in your chosen niche and most likely growing in authority and recruiting for itself a higher flow of link juice. Which roughly translates into being high in the search results. Which is what we want, after all.<br /><br />So with some regular training and updates, like reading the Newcastle Digital newsletter and following the hints and tips for increasing your organic ranking, you will soon be practising online web promotion without even knowing it.<br /><br />And that’s when you start to see some really dramatic results and entrench your site at the top of the rankings for your most lucrative keywords. So the prevailing advice it to get off to flying start with some sustained online web promotion for at least the first twelve months so your site gathers some initial momentum.<br /><br /></div>
