Highly recommended. I would order from you again.

With thanks
Sue, AustraliaHi BG Team, I'll shall certainly use you again - and I think the recipient of my gift might, too! The person this gift went to was so surprised and delighted that he rang me in Australia as soon as he received it. Of course, for me, it's an absolute bonus that you put an Australian wine in the basket (which I admit helped to sway me in your favour rather than anyone else - the Wyndham Shiraz is excellent). Your service was fantastic I appreciated the emails keeping me advised of the progress of my order. All in all, a smooth and pleasurable experience for both giver and receiver - thank you.
John & Kathleen Larmett, Virginia USAThank you for all you did to ensure that the Easter gift basket we ordered through you was delivered to our daughter, Danielle, today.

Eleanor, USA (December 05)THANK YOU SO MUCH! We tried to send Dad in Cork, Ireland a hamper for the last 2 Xmas (using different companies) & it arrived after Christmas both times. So we were very keen for him to get it in good time this year! Just wanted you to know Dad received it today & was delighted with it!!
Ann Marie, Ireland (Dec 05)I am writing to thank you for the safe delivery of the beautiful hamper that was sent to my Mother in Law for Christmas, She is absolutely thrilled with it.

Mary, WA, USA (Oct. 2005)I recently ordered three baskets to different locations and just want you to know that they each received a 'Wow!' reception. Thank you for taking the grit out of the nitty-gritty of gift giving. I particularly want to thank your sales representatives, Rita and Neil for their friendly and efficient service.
Sandy, USA ( November 2005)Rita, Thank you so very much, you have been most helpful, this is the first time that I am ordering a gift basket to have delivered in Belfast. I love the fact that you are a family business, I felt that I would get superior customer service. I am a Realtor and service is the name of the game. Thanks again!!
The Ross Family, USA ( 4th November 2005)I just wanted to say a huge Thank You. The basket was loved. I wanted something different as flowers are nice but they don't last. This was a way I knew the new mum would appreciate a welcome gift for new baby, and a little self pampering in there for herself. I have recommended you to all my friends & family. I am in the USA, and will pass on your website details. You have some really thoughtful baskets. Thank you.
Jacqui, UK ( 20th Sept. 2005)Hi to all staff. I just wanted to say a great big 'thank you' for all your help with the hamper ordered for my fathers' birthday. It arrived when promised, it was beautifully packed and the card was the finishing touch. Dad was absolutely delighted - he actually said it was the best present he had ever had!! He celebrated his day with a sausage sandwich!!! Who needs champagne when you can get traditional Irish sausage? Anyway, thank you all again - as I said before the customer service shown by you all was above and beyond my expectations and you certainly put the 'special' into my fathers' special day.
Briege - Pittsburgh, USA (18th Sept. 2005)Dear Rita, My mother in Ireland was absolutely delighted with the basket. She said it was beautifully packaged and hasn't stopped talking about all the wonderful foods inside the basket. I will definitely use Baskets Galore again and will be sure to recommend you to everyone I know here in the US and around the world (I have started already). Impressive first class service and products. Excellent next day delivery. Thanks again.
Hi BasketsGalore. I just thought you might like some feedback. Please see the recipients comments below:
Just a brief email to say a very big thank you for the megga parcel which arrived this week at work. I was so excited opening it, all that bubble wrap - such fun! The gifts are really amazing - lots of lovely ideas to excite the senses and such a thoughtful present. Champagne, wine, chocolates and smelly stuff - what more does a girl want? I guess I should share some of it with Rob!!
Joan , Food Standards Agency, UK (August 2005)Congratulations, well done and thank you very much for your service which I and my colleagues would not hesitate to recommend or use again.
Gerry, USAThank YouRita for the updated information on my purchase. This is the 2ND time I have used your services and I find you professional, and prompt. I will certainly use your services if needed again. I hope theLeprechaunsdon't interfere with this e-mail!
Mrs Cole, USAThank you so very much! Your service was excellent and I got a call from my Daughter-in-Law's Mother telling me what a beautiful gift it was. Our girl was a having an emotional day yesterday and the gift really lifted her spirits immensely. My Son actually had tears in his eyes. It's hard when you are on the other side of the world and can't be there in the moment with them. I thank you again and trust that we will be doing business again!
Sinead - New Zealand (September 2005)Hi Rita, I just received confirmation from my friend in hospital that she received a beautiful new baby gift from me via your website. Thank you so much, looking forward to dealing with you in the future.

Christine, AustraliaOnce again wonderful service from a excellent web site. Thanks again for all your help.
Loretta, Sydney Australia (July 2005)Thank you also for your wonderful service. In Australia at least it is very rare to get such personalised service. The gift is for my in-laws and unfortunately due to ill health I was unable to make the huge family renion. As you can imagine I was devastated but this will go a long way to showing them that I was with them in spirit. Thank you again, I wish you every success in the future.

Shauna, SpainThanks so much for the excellent service you provided. I was looking for a special 25th Wedding Anniversary gift for my parents, and living in Barcelona, I needed something I could arrange over the internet. BasketsGalore offered a fabulous range of gifts, amongst which was the perfect hamper full of little luxuries. My mum said it was the nicest present she has ever received...a beautiful wicker basket stuffed with gorgeous goodies as well as 2 beautiful candlestick holders. I thank you for making my parents day even more special
Jenny, LondonMuch appreciated for confirming my order and delivery date. This is my second time using Baskets Galore and I'd just like to say 'a huge thank-you' for a very fast, efficient and friendly service :) My Mum loved her gift hamper last year and am sure she'll be just as surprised and excited this Mother's Day! Keep up the good work.
Christine, AdelaideThank you very much for the ease in ordering a special gift for my mum she was overjoyed at the gift. We had not told her what to expect so it was a great surprise. We'll recommend your service to all our friends here with family still at home. It is nice to know that even being so far away I can still be apart of my mum's birthday. I will be ordering again that's for sure.

My brother in law was delighted with the contents and I was most impressed by the prompt action. Many thanks. I am sure to be using this service again.
Daniella, DublinHi Baskets Galore! Just wanted to say thank you for making that delivery today. He just phoned to say thanks and sounded absolutly delighted with it - especially the midget gems! Thanks again.
Jennifer - CaliforniaHaving things shipped overseas is horribly expensive & inconvenient. I can't tell you how glad I am to have found BasketsGalore. You took all the stress out of the situation by letting me design exactly the basket I wanted to send, arranging convenient payment & following up to let me know that the basket had been delivered. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If I ever need to arrange gifts for relatives in the UK again, I will certainly contact Baskets Galore.
Suzie, Ontario Canada.After searching the Internet for the perfect gift for my Grandmother's birthday I found your website. I was immediately impressed with the site & the variety of the products.

She was so very impressed with the basket. She thought it was amazing & couldn’t stop with the praises!! Thank you so much BasketsGalore, you make sending an awesome birthday present back to the UK so seamless!!

Shirley - New ZealandJust to say a massive thank you for the balloon basket. It was presented yesterday and everyone seems to have been bowled over by it all! I really can't thank you enough. I was really glad to have so much input to the gift we chose, even from the other side of the world. You have helped to make this difficult occasion much easier for me. Looking forward to ordering with you again in the future. Very best wishes,
Stephen - New ZealandI have received an email from home saying that my Nanny has received the hamper and loves the contents especially the Bell tea & the Bannock. Thanks for keeping me informed as being on the other side of the planet in New Zealand we can't get any further away so that's appreciated. I'll happily use BasketGalore again and thanks again for keeping me informed.

I can't wait for my mom and my daughter to receive the basket.

Mrs C, AustraliaThe Birthday box is just perfect----just how I had wished. The Irish keepsakes you have thoughtfully included will be great memories of your beautiful country for when she returns home to Oz. Please go ahead with the order, and thank you again for helping to send a little love and joy to my daughter on her birthday --- she is so far away.
Kristen NJ, USAThank you for all of your help with the wedding gift for my sister-in-law. The Bride was so delighted with her gift and we couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from you & Baskets Galore. I live in America, so sometimes when giving a gift to a relative in Ireland, it can be hard to get the job done! I found your service so convenient, extremely helpful. & reasonably affordable. I also loved that I was able to see (in a picture that you sent me) what the gift looked like before I even made the purchase! Should I find myself needing a gift for a family member in Ireland again, I know I would be able to shop with confidence at Baskets Galore!
Madeline, AustraliaI'm so grateful to you that you went out of your way to deliver the hamper for me. That really is good service - and a photograph of the basket too! I'm most impressed. I thank you once again for that special service. I shall certainly use you again.
Rosalind, GlasgowThank you for the hampers you sent us, we were delighted and the delivery was wonderful. We took it to my father in law this afternoon who originally comes from Ireland and rather than waiting till Sunday to open it, he opened the hamper while we were there and again was delighted with all the goodies which I am sure my mother in law will enjoy too. Many Thanks for your help.
