Anna Hart asked:


Holiday gift baskets are well established in connection to certain holidays. Christmas holiday gift baskets are widely advertised and given. In the United States, Easter and Thanksgiving holiday gift baskets are also popular.

Holiday gift baskets do not have to be reserved for Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving, however. These baskets are always appropriate and appreciated. Wine holiday gift baskets are often given as business gifts. Pet holiday gift baskets are pushed by pet stores in the U.S. Baby and corporate holiday gift baskets are also given in some countries.

Holiday gift baskets are cheap or expensive, unique or run-of-the-mill. You can usually find one suited to the specific holiday, but if not, you can custom-make holiday gift baskets.

Holiday Gift Basket Occasions

It would be impossible to list here every holiday of every nation. We will look at just a few that merit holiday gift baskets.

1. New Year’s Day: This holiday is celebrated universally. Holiday gift baskets should include items celebrating beginnings. Think of the word “new” when planning contents of a New Year’s Day holiday gift basket. You might also send a sport-oriented gift basket in the U.S., since many football teams play major games that day.

2. Children’s Day: Many nations celebrate a holiday for children. Baby holiday gift baskets or gift baskets for older children may be given. Include food treats appropriate to the age, plus a toy, book, or game. You can avoid sweets by making it a spa basket with “special” shampoos and lotions.

If the gifts are for youngsters who love horses, consider equestrian theme holiday gift baskets. Include carrots, apples, and sugar cubes to share with a favorite horse. Add a book about horses.

3. Mother’s Day/Father’s Day: These holidays are also common to many nations. Holiday gift basket ideas for these should honor the mother or father. This is a time for custom-made baskets, showing your thoughtfulness in selecting treats and gifts the recipient is known to like.

4. Grandparents’ Day: Grandma and Grandpa holiday gift baskets are appropriate for holidays such as the United States’ Grandparents’ Day. Give heart healthy holiday gift baskets. A healthy basket might include dried blueberries and bananas, smoked salmon, nut snacks, and Irish oatmeal. Add tickets to an event they would enjoy together, sporting or other.

5. Independence Day: Here is another holiday gift basket occasion. Most countries have a day on which they celebrate the nation’s beginnings. For example, “Canada Day” would be a great time for Canada holiday gift baskets. “The Fourth of July” is a good time for U.S. holiday gift baskets. In Japan, “Kenkoku Kinenbi” is a time for Japan holiday gift baskets. Be sure you include national flags in your holiday gift baskets. Something bubbly that can pop a cork would also be appropriate. If legal where you live, add a few small fireworks for celebration.

6. Memorial Day: Nations often set aside a day to commemorate those who died in their country’s service. Holiday gift baskets are a thoughtful way to thank those who lost loved ones in a war.

7. Labor Day: Here is another holiday that is celebrated around the world. With its roots in Australia, Labor Day can be a time for unexpected holiday gift baskets. Theme the contents to labor, perhaps “sturdy” foods and treats.

Helpful Tip

Remember to add cards to your holiday gift baskets – and choose durable baskets so they will remain as souvenirs long after their contents are gone.

New Growth Corridors Open Real-estate Opportunities in Pune

Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 by Geraldine in Uncategorized

George Gonigal asked:


Pune is buzzing with real estate activities and the city is stretching its borders to accommodate new residential, commercial and industrial areas. Pune, known as Maharashtra’s ace city, is witnessing rise in new business activities like the BPO sector, IT and ITES industry.

The prime areas of the city like Deccan Gymkhana, Hinjewadi, Model Colony and Koregaon Park command the highest real estate values in the city. Hence, property seekers have no choice but to find flats, apartments and land in new areas like the Camp, Kalyani Nagar, Shivaji Nagar, Wakdewadi, FC Road, JM Road, and Nagar Road. These areas have moderate property rates. Sample this: The capital value for apartment in Viman Nagar ranges between Rs 3,000-4,500 per sq ft as against Model Colony that has property rates in the range of Rs 4,000-8,000 per sq ft (Source: Magicbricks.com).

Hence, the areas surrounding the prime areas are driving the construction and infrastructure boom in the city. Real estate builders are trying to tap this sentiment and are trying to upgrade the transport linkages between the prime areas and the new areas. This helps them to improve the prospects of their property.

For example, a new bridge has been built to connect Koregaon Park and Kalyani Nagar. This bridge has cut down the distance between the two paces by about half an hour. So, professionals who are employed with Koregaon Park can seek affordable residential properties in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar. This idea is working well. Many property builders have lined up new projects in the upcoming areas. Kumar Builders have announced a 40-acres township in Kalyani Nagar and the builder claims that about 50% flats are already booked!

A similar story is being repeated in the other parts as well. Like Kothrud which was primarily a rural area. Today local people have sold their agricultural land to builders who have build apartments, hostels, paying guest accommodations here. To service this residential demand, many builders have constructed small time retail joints as well. This area is densely populated and is abuzz with activity always.
