Halloween is my favorite holiday! We have so much fun making up these creepy and
scary gourmet Halloween Gift Baskets. If you follow All The Buzz on Facebook or IG,

Our best selling “Gleaming Halloweening” gift basket pictured here is a fabulous gift
for any of your ghoulish friends who love Halloween as much as I do.  We take the
galvanized tin bucket and cover it with some black mesh and then fill it will all kinds of
scary treats. No tricks, all treats! The treats include some assorted classic candies,
cookies and cream cookies, dipping pretzels and dipping fudge, plus Halloween
glazed popcorn.

We can also ship it UPS 3 Day Select for about $21.  Please order by Oct. 22nd for a

anywhere in the U.S. and they are gourmet brownies!  And these brownies have the
cutest Halloween theme. Only $25 and the UPS ground price is about $10. Realtors,
these can make a fun impression at your October Open Houses, too.

We also have a “Happy Haunting” Halloween gift basket that is very affordable and budget
friendly. Only $30 for this super festive gift which includes caramel corn, cheese crisps,
cookies and seasonal chocolate.  Perfect for a hostess gift, corporate gift or a nice thank

Chinese New Year! Cockadoodledoo!

I've learned a lot about Chinese New Year from our clients over the years. It is a very important holiday for those that celebrate. It is a time filled with gathering with family & friends, firecrackers, parades, festivals, and giving gifts. While the gift of money in red envelopes is very popular, we have created many gift baskets for the holiday. There is a lot of symbolism for this cultural holiday period, so it's important to keep a few things in mind. Red and gold are considered auspicious colors and very appropriate colors to use for decorations. Black, white & blue should be avoided because they are associated with death. Also, it is great to include touches that represent the year's zodiac animal. For instance, 2017 is the year of the rooster, so we would print the year & rooster on the gift's ribbon. And, we often include sweets such as cookies & candies, as well as fruits like tangerines, as they are considered appropriate traditional gifts for the new year. Those are the basic guidelines for gift giving that will assure that you are giving a gift that will be well received. January 28th begins Chinese New Year, so it's time to consider how you will celebrate! Need help with your gifts, we're here to help! Visit our website.

Custom is our Middle Name!

I recently got a call from a new corporate client. They found us on Yelp, which is exciting...always good to be found! Anyhow, I was reviewing her order before delivery to make sure that we hit all her requests, and it hit me how special this gift was. And, also, I felt so proud that we could accomodate.
Here were her requests:
*Bay Area Snacks
*Masculine Container
*Company Colors
* Logo ribbon
*Company branding throughout
*Souvenir Items from San Francisco & San Jose

We did our best starting with a versatile wooden tray and accented with their company orange & yellow. We then filled it with cookies and cheese straws made in San Lorenzo, snack mix and dried fruit from Petaluma, caramel corn from San Francisco, sea salt almonds from Newman, and chocolate almond toffee from San Jose. We printed specialty logo ribbon, labels and hang tags to remind the recipients of their generous gifters! And, to top it all off, we added a San Francisco cable car and postcards, and San Jose pen, playing cards, and magnet, just for fun!
I think we did it! So proud of my team. I continue to think that there isn't a gift we can't bring together! So fun! Give us a challenge, I dare you! Have a great weekend! -Shawn

Dear Old Dad!


Fathers day is coming up, June 19th! You definitely want to remember the special fathers in your life. And, we know dads can be very difficult to shop for. If you're stumped, we recommend using one of their interests, hobbies, favorite things to help guide your shopping. It's and fun and easy way to personalize a gift. And, personalized gifts always seem thoughtful, since you really thought about what they like! Do they love a certain hockey team (ie; San Jose Sharks) or maybe it's a basketball team (ie; Golden State Warriors, of course)? Do they love to garden or build things? Are they a chocoholic? You get the idea! So, if you're still stumped, give us a call at 408.504.3703, we're happy to consult with you. Or, take a look at our website for ideas!

Bay Area Sports!!!
Have you ever? We have an unbelievable situation going on with our local sports teams! Both the San Jose Sharks and the Golden State Warriors are in the finals. We are so lucky to be living the dream! We've been asked to make a number of gifts for fans, and it's so fun! We're filling the gifts with licensed products like mugs, magnets, beanies, beads, etc, etc. Game snacks and team colors round them out! We've even had a couple of very special deliveries. We're really enjoying the spirit of the games! Hope you are too! Go Sharks! Go Dubs!

International Nurse's Day!

Today, Thursday, May 12th is the day to recognize all the nurses we know. It's no secret that they are very special people with extremely important jobs. Whether you work with nurses or have family or friend nurses in your life, it would sure mean a lot to them for you to acknowledge the hard work they do caring for and nurturing the sick and injured. I know that the times that my son, husband and relatives have needed medical care, we have spent the most time with the nurses. They are wonderful and we rely on them when times are tough. Big thanks to all the nurses out there!

Mom's Day!


Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 8th! Your mom is likely pretty special to you, and equally just as difficult to shop for. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days where a handmade card was the ultimate gift! But, mom is still likely to enjoy any effort we make to remember her. After all, moms are like that! It also doesn't have to be difficult to make sure she knows how special she is. The most important thing is to make a little
time for mom. A visit or a phone call means the world to your mother. And, a memorable gift, is always a nice touch too! This year, at All The Buzz, we're loving the keepsake gift paired with gourmet treats! Something for now, and something to be remembered for years to come!

Let us know how we can help! We can even deliver it locally for you! 
And, Happy Mother's Day to you, your mom, and all those mom figures in your life!

Take a Walk on the Wild Side!


I'm often asked what my favorite gifts are. And, while that's not an easy answer, I know that one of my top picks would have to be Wild Gifts. You know the kind, animal prints and jungle flavors. They are so bright and eye-catching. And, they are great for so many occasions;anniversaries, love, kids, teens, birthdays, and even corporate occasions. We often like to include a tag line that pulls the theme and the occasion altogether. Something like, "Have a wild time on your birthday" or "It's a jungle out there, we appreciate all you did to help", really makes the gift fun! So, next time you're thinking of a fun gift, consider taking a walk on the wild side!

Programs! Get Your Programs!



Many businesses have fun programs in place to attract clients, recognize special achievements, encourage social media check-ins or interaction and so much more. We are happy to help with unique prizes or gifts to mark the special events. Can we help you with a smaller novel gift to thank everyone that checks in on Facebook? Or, would you like to start a program like Plaza Dental has been doing for the last 10+ years. We bring a seasonal gift that meets their dietary guidelines at the beginning of the month. Patients enter their name at each visit, culminating in one lucky winner winning that gift basket on the last day of the month. They say the patients love it, and it has become a fun that everyone looks forward to. If you have an idea in mind or want to collaborate with us to get started, give us a call. We have lots of ideas and we’re happy to share!

Important Dates Are Important!


If it's important to your clients, associates or employees, it should be important to you. Nothing feels better than having someone care about your milestones or achievements, whether personal or professionally. You know what I'm talking about, events like:
*New Baby
*Birthday
*Sympathy
*Anniversary
*New Hire Welcome
*Special Recognition Days, like Administrative Professional's Day,etc.
Creating good feelings makes for better relationships. And, relationships are what it's all about!
You care, so let it show!

Oops,did I do that!?

Mistakes happen! As good of people and businesses as we all are, occasionally things don't go as planned. That usually leaves someone disappointed. If that someone happens to be one that you care about; family member, friend, customer, you would best make amends. The best way to handle mistakes in our opinion takes three steps. 1.Take responsibility. 2.Apologize & 3.Make a peace offering. In my experience, if you handle an issue well, you will be forgiven. We're all human, people understand that. Just make sure to leave them impressed with how well you took care of them!
