October 1, 2008 -- The gift basket industry has thrived for decades because of the ever-present need for gift solutions that are easy to buy, relatively generic and available at staggered price levels. But the same factors that make them attractive to gift givers often make them unattractive to recipients, which has resulted in a marketplace saturated with hum-drum baskets of sub-par snacks and trinkets. The Gift Maker, the newest online company to break into the gift design industry, has its sights set on offering gift givers an impressive alternative.

The Gift Maker has launched its online storefront at e-giftmaker.com and has loaded its listings with uniquely arranged champagne gift baskets, floral bouquets, holiday-themed gifts, corporate gift basket ideas and items for other gift-giving occasions. In addition to its collection of arrangements covering the most popular gift categories, the boutique also offers custom gift design services that allow customers to dictate colors, themes, basket contents and price levels.

The Gift Maker has well-established competitors within the gift design industry, which is why its designers are using their breathtaking presentations to make their baskets stand out among the pack. For prices competitive with those of industry leaders that sell generic, mass-manufactured arrangements, The Gift Maker is offering handmade wine and champagne gift baskets with unconventional designs that create memorable gift receiving experiences.

"The Gift Maker's distinguished corporate gifts can be customized to proudly display corporate logos in ways that incorporate them into the designs and create lasting impressions with their recipients," explains Peggy McKeon, Owner of The Gift Maker. "We are dedicated to assuring high quality in our gift basket components, creating amazing presentations and providing great customer service, all with the convenience of online shopping."

McKeon, who has worked in the gift design industry since 1999, says that her career background as a nurse has influenced her view of the importance of giving. She relies on her experience of comforting others to influence the care and attention to detail she lends to her designs. The Gift Maker also gives some gifts of its own, supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with charitable donations.
