"Hi, I ordered a champagne gift basket and I was very impressed. I've never ordered anything like this over the internet and was worried about whether it would be delivered on time. It was delivered 24 hours after I ordered and was in absolutely mint condition. Highly recommended. I would order from you again."
- Elizabeth, UK (July 08)
"Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for the speed at which you were able to deliver my order.

Once again thanks for the speed and timely service and I would be more than happy to use your services once again."
- Graham, Melbourne (July 08)

"Hi BG Team, I'll shall certainly use you again - and I think the recipient of my gift might, too!
The person this gift went to was so surprised and delighted that he rang me in Australia as soon as he received it. Of course, for me, it's an absolute bonus that you put an Australian wine in the basket (which I admit helped to sway me in your favour rather than anyone else - the Wyndham Shiraz is excellent). Your service was fantastic; I appreciated the emails keeping me advised of the progress of my order. All in all, a smooth and pleasurable experience for both giver and receiver - thank you."
- Sue, Australia

- Sandy, USA ( November 2005)
"I just wanted to say a huge Thank You. The basket was loved. I wanted something different as flowers are nice but they don't last. This was a way I knew the new mum would appreciate a welcome gift for new baby, and a little self pampering in there for herself. I have recommended you to all my friends & family. I am in the USA, and will pass on your website details. You have some really thoughtful baskets. Thank you."
- The Ross Family, USA ( 4th November 2005)
"Hi to all staff. I just wanted to say a great big 'thank you' for all your help with the hamper ordered for my fathers' birthday. It arrived when promised, it was beautifully packed and the card was the finishing touch. Dad was absolutely delighted - he actually said it was the best present he had ever had!! He celebrated his day with a sausage sandwich!!! Who needs champagne when you can get traditional Irish sausage? Anyway, thank you all again - as I said before the customer service shown by you all was above and beyond my expectations and you certainly put the 'special' into my fathers' special day."

'Just a brief email to say a very big thank you for the megga parcel which arrived this week at work. I was so excited opening it, all that bubble wrap - such fun! The gifts are really amazing - lots of lovely ideas to excite the senses and such a thoughtful present. Champagne, wine, chocolates and smelly stuff - what more does a girl want? I guess I should share some of it with Rob!!'
Congratulations, well done and thank you very much for your service which I and my colleagues would not hesitate to recommend or use again."

"Thank you so very much! Your service was excellent and I got a call from my Daughter-in-Law's Mother telling me what a beautiful gift it was. Our girl was a having an emotional day yesterday and the gift really lifted her spirits immensely. My Son actually had tears in his eyes. It's hard when you are on the other side of the world and can't be there in the moment with them. I thank you again and trust that we will be doing business again!"

"Thank you also for your wonderful service. In Australia at least it is very rare to get such personalised service. The gift is for my in-laws and unfortunately due to ill health I was unable to make the huge family renion. As you can imagine I was devastated but this will go a long way to showing them that I was with them in spirit. Thank you again, I wish you every success in the future."

"Thanks so much for the excellent service you provided. I was looking for a special 25th Wedding Anniversary gift for my parents, and living in Barcelona, I needed something I could arrange over the internet. BasketsGalore offered a fabulous range of gifts, amongst which was the perfect hamper full of little luxuries. My mum said it was the nicest present she has ever received...a beautiful wicker basket stuffed with gorgeous goodies as well as 2 beautiful candlestick holders. I thank you for making my parents day even more special"

Keep up the good work."

"Having things shipped overseas is horribly expensive & inconvenient. I can't tell you how glad I am to have found BasketsGalore. You took all the stress out of the situation by letting me design exactly the basket I wanted to send, arranging convenient payment & following up to let me know that the basket had been delivered. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If I ever need to arrange gifts for relatives in the UK again, I will certainly contact Baskets Galore.

She was so very impressed with the basket. She thought it was amazing & couldn’t stop with the praises!! Thank you so much BasketsGalore, you make sending an awesome birthday present back to the UK so seamless!!

"You went to so much trouble and I REALLY appreciate it! I feel like I know you and you're in an entirely different country! You are a delight to work with! I just wish that you were in the US so that I could use you ALL of the time! I'm in Irvine, California USA and have told everyone that I know about how wonderful your service was. I can't wait for my mom and my daughter to receive the basket. My daughter's feeling a bit homesick and I think that a basket from "home" will do the trick.Thank you again for the best customer service I have ever received! Is everyone in Ireland as nice as you? If so, I'm moving...!!"

"Thank you for all of your help with the wedding gift for my sister-in-law. The Bride was so delighted with her gift and we couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from you & Baskets Galore. I live in America, so sometimes when giving a gift to a relative in Ireland, it can be hard to get the job done! I found your service so convenient, extremely helpful. & reasonably affordable. I also loved that I was able to see (in a picture that you sent me) what the gift looked like before I even made the purchase! Should I find myself needing a gift for a family member in Ireland again, I know I would be able to shop with confidence at Baskets Galore!"
- Kristen NJ, USA

"Thank you for the hampers you sent us, we were delighted and the delivery was wonderful. We took it to my father in law this afternoon who originally comes from Ireland and rather than waiting till Sunday to open it, he opened the hamper while we were there and again was delighted with all the goodies which I am sure my mother in law will enjoy too. Many Thanks for your help."
