#2 Gourmet Gift Baskets Care Package Giveaway and Review!

Momma Told Me regulars, please pay attention to Bonus Entries as some have changed for this event!




Momma Told Me: Say it with a Care Package.

In the midst of Spring, and looking forward to summer it's a child's dream to go to Camp with their friends to explore and create like only children can. And while many mothers welcome the added peace around the home, they also miss the mischief and noise of their children's smiling faces. One way for parents to connect with their children while they're away is through a specially packed Care Package! Momma never let me roam far, and my Spring and Summer vacations were always spent by her side, but whenever I'd leave home for even a weekend, she'd be sure to pack up a special bundle of goodies to remind me of home.


Opening a Care Package is like unwrapping a bundle of many gifts, and reminds the recipient no matter where they are, they're being missed. Whether it's a child away at camp, college, or Grandma's for vacation, they're sure to love a box stuffed with activities and snacks. Gourmet Gift Baskets.com has dozens of choices from Junk Food to camp essentials. Pricing starts at just $34.99, or go with a deluxe bundle for just $20 more. Best of all, with GourmetGiftBaskets.com you can have one sent directly to your loved one's doorstep, camp, hospital, or place of work!


Arguably the leading online retailer of gift baskets, GourmetGiftBaskets.com has hundreds of baskets and boxes in dozens of categories, to fit every budget. With worldwide shipping, and impressively affordable next-day rates within the US, the consumer finds themselves at home shopping the typically over-priced gifting category. And if for any reason you or the recipient aren't 100% satisfied with your purchase the company will make it right with an immediate replacement or refund. That's something you don't typically find when dealing with gourmet foods and fresh fruit gifts. Looking to find something tasty to appeal to your sweetie's sweet tooth, but restricted by dietary requirements? GourmetGiftBaskets.com has plenty of healthy snacking/sweets options, as well as their popular, and unique, Kosher line!



Categories are broken down by recipient, occasion, or theme and shoppers can browse similar themed gifts under Snacks or Kids. While full and current inventory is visible online, availability is subject to change, so it's important to place your order in advance. A full printed catalog is also available upon request. 'Mini' gift baskets start under $25, with moderate selections in the $40 range, and extravagant sentiments, or 'ultimate' options near $100-$120. Additionally, fresh fruit and flower arrangements are sold through GourmetGiftBaskets.com competitively priced to other online specialty gift retailers.


Shipping is available for residential, business, hospital, church, and school locations, and varies by delivery date, location, and basket weight. For example, on their $35 Exam Cram Care Package basket, next day shipping was quoted at $23.39, down to 3 day shipping at $17.25, and 5+ day future arrival for just $11.37. On a much more expensive, Ultimate basket, next day shipping was quoted at $34.91, with 5+ advance shipping for just $11.49. I'm really impressed with the shipping rates in general, as last minute gifting can be costly, and shipping something of this size would be as expensive, if not more, done on my own. These care packages/baskets are often bulky and heavy; putting a similar package together and shipping it alone would be much more pricey when you consider tracking and confirmation.



We received a Midnight Snack Care Package for review here on Momma Told Me. Our Care Package arrived in a branded box, with special note from sender, ready for digging into. I love that these are true care packages, with a little bit of everything, and fun to unpack. There's no fluffy frills or packaging, just a box chocked full of the recipients favorite treats and goods! This Care Package included everything from Chef Boyardee meals, to Easy Mac, to Oreos and animal crackers and Slim Jims! The only problem with the collection? There should be multiples, to prevent fighting! Everyone in our household was grabbing for their favorites, and to call this less than a hit would be a tragedy. I especially love that those watching their sweets can choose a Health Nut Care Package, and there are even some great Activity and Sports Enthusiast bundles too!

What Daughter Says: Send a bit of love to someone far away this Spring, choose a Care Package from Gourmet Gift Baskets.com





One lucky Momma Told Me follower will win the same Midnight Snack Care Package as reviewed above!
