The Gift Exchange

Here at GiftTree we are already gearing up for the Christmas Holiday. This goes for our corporate sales department as well! The types of things we are doing now to get ready for the Holiday rush include, familiarizing ourselves with Holiday specific products, discussing the possibility of discounts and getting last years list of customers [...]

I still remember what I was doing the day our World Trade Center was attacked. I had just walked through the doors of a local grocery store where I worked at the time, and all of the employees were gathered around the dozen TV’s we kept on display in the electronics section. All of the [...]

7 years ago today we experienced the biggest national tragedy of my life. I’m not sure how you remember that day, but I will tell you how I do… I was an unemployed 21 year old living at home. Of course, sleeping when it happened. I woke up to my mom shaking me awake, telling me [...]

Normally I don’t care much for chain letter-like emails, but I received one today from my brother-in-law that made me smile.

Several months ago my granddaughter was asked to be a petal girl in a wedding for a friend of mine. She was very excited! The invitations arrived and they were beautiful. A special little pouch contained an RSVP form with a stamped return envelope, a map, a list of accommodations for overnight travelers and a [...]

One of the fun things about working here at GiftTree is the little inside contests that take place. For example, we’ll all get an e-mail like “Okay guys, in what city did GiftTree officially start its business?” or, “What is the most popular gift basket we sell?” Random stuff like that you know? Usually the [...]

Last spotted buying the City Block Snack Tower, this GiftTree employee has made several purchases within the past few months. When last interviewed, she said that she was absolutely thrilled over the variety and selection of gifts that her company had to offer. In her own words: “Why would I shop anywhere else when I [...]
