Attaching a business card to the neck of the basket amidst business color themed curling ribbon and accent bow. If you have access to customized company ribbon or can do personalized ribbon imprinting with the company name and / or logo, all the better, but make sure to keep it discreet so it does not seem like blatant advertising. Make sure to also attach a gift enclosure card or larger greeting card to make sure to clearly identify the sender. Seasonal accents such as flowers, greens, leaves or sparkly stars or theme items can also add pizzaz and add even more wow factor to bulging baskets.
