Dear Narisa,

Thank you for your message and useful information concerning these baskets. Prices mentioned are very acceptable. I was actually losing hope in ever getting some feedback about it  :sosad:
Can I ask if you are personally involved in the gift basket business?
I've been doing some research on the Net about it and in particular of the industry over here in Bangkok & Thailand.
It's quite popular in the USA and some EU countries. Not clear if it is here in Asia.

At present I haven't determined if it's feasible to start this on a small scale, freelance, and if there's a real market for new things. There's also the fact that I might relocate from Thailand back to my home country (Belgium) towards spring 2015 because of mainly family reasons. But as you probably know the economy over there isn't exactly bright and finding jobs at my age virtually impossible. That's why I've been considering a possibility in some type of biz option between Thailand & Belgium. It's still all vague, I know. So networking will be important and crucial.
Like to hear your opinion and further advice is welcome too.
Appreciate your time taken out to send this information.

Have a nice day and rest of week.

Hi Gary,

Gift baskets is very popular in USA and they put all kinds of goodies in it. I understand they buy in containers and for small player, it's hard to compete.

As you are in Belgium, use it as a springboard to other European countries with not so competitive products.

We could talk further on these as I'm looking for someone to represent my line of products.

Cheers

Dear Rejoice,

Thanks for your message and friend request.
As mentioned I'm still doing research on this but would be nice to keep in contact.
What kind of products are you referring to, are you in business here in Thailand or not (yet)?
Take care,
Gary

I will look into it the upcoming months what is feasible.
Anyway appreciate your info. as mentioned before.

Gary
