Eco Friendly Gifts for green giving





I just got back from doing my recycling run. I run my business with one eye looking for new business and the other looking for ways to save money. Recycling doesn't really save me money but it does help save our environment. I installed set back thermostats, put in high efficiency light bulbs and insulated the doors in the warehouse.






We only us biodegradable packing peanuts, brown boxes for shipping and we now offer eco bags instead of our already reusable baskets. Our Eco Friendly Gifts offer a Gourmet Holiday Eco Gift Bag or our 100% recycled reusable non woven Eco Gift bag instead of a basket.






Going GREEN is better than ever when you can send it to someone else. So send the message and the chocolates and other gourmet goodies this holiday season in one of our great gift bag options.

I have found that planning for these holidays forces me to stay connected with food and gift trends. Each year there are products that hit the market hard and you see them everywhere. If I miss that then my customers think that Baskets by Rita is just not with it.








This year we are going even Greener with our original Holiday Eco Gifts . Early in the year we decided to offer an eco-friendly gift bag that our customers could choose instead of one of our baskets. Well right now it is our best seller for the year. It truly send the message that you are committed to helping save the environment.








So, for the holidays we are offering two of our holiday features our Colorado Christmas Gift Basket and our Holiday Gourmet Gift Basket in Green Eco Friendly bags. Our have already started to sell and I know that we will
