Terry August gave birth to Fancifull Gifts on her friend's kitchen table in 1987, where she created gift baskets for a few friends that insisted on paying her for her works of art. Fast forward twenty years and walk with me a half mile from her house, past Paramount Studios in Hollywood, down Melrose Avenue and inside her shop, and you will find that same kitchen table has a prominent place and is still in use.
Multiply her kitchen size by 20 and you get the size of their current space and, like being in an inviting kitchen at a party, you want to hang out. If you do what I did and spend nearly a day, you will know that Fancifull Gifts is a TV series. (Not literally, but could be.) The atmosphere is not only conducive to creativity, as a dozen employees flurry around with gourmet foods and flowers, but the communication flies freely and stirring music enlivens. Work? More like spirit of play under deadlines. And they do make those tough deadlines. Once they had to produce over $100,000 in baskets in less than 2 weeks from design, to procuring the products, manufacture and delivery. They did it! I think Fancifull enjoys challenges, and they always meet them.
What a joyous gift occasion - welcoming a new life to the world! We try to include useful and safe items that will have lasting use for the family. We only use organic bath products and many of the baby outfits, towels and blankets are also made from organic materials. The Radio Flyer Wagon pictured here is one of our most popular baby gift baskets.
We taste a lot of wines here at Fancifull - over a hundred wines a year - and visit many of the wineries we are interested in. We recently visited a wine maker in Barolo, Italy, whose wines are here in our store. Our job is to bring you the best values we can find. Most of these are from small family vineyards and reflect the care and passion that goes into making them. You aren't going to find these on any supermarket shelf, but you will love drinking them as will those who receive our wine gift baskets.
Something we're especially good at is creating custom gift baskets. They may be for promoting a new product, promoting a new use for an already known brand (like the Disaronno used-as-mixer with Moet & Chandon example shown here), or for showing your company's logo inside of a gorgeous gift for a charity auction or any other purpose. Send us your logo items for your gift baskets - we'll make you look good!
