Gift Basket Ventures
, an Arvada Colorado retail business was founded in 2009 by Dale and Thomasene (Tomi) Haynes as an online business, a division of their Overlook Online Ventures, Inc. 
 
GB4Gift Basket Ventures
offers a large variety of special and customized baskets to fit your company or personal needs.  We offer many selections and continue to add new and unique designs to our list of Affordable Gift Baskets.  Their mission is to provide customers with high quality products, competitive pricing and a wide variety of selections to insure customer satisfaction.

GB2Dale and Tomi are experienced managers in food service and public venues with over fifty years combined experience in customer service delivery. They understand the special "trust" relationship that must develop between a company and the customer.  "Our goal in starting Overlook Online Ventures, Inc was to develop products and services that we can offer online avoiding the need to add on overhead costs, while ensuring customer satisfaction and timely delivery to our customers" stated Tomi Haynes.

Gift Basket Ventures is looking to support local Arvada and surrounding community businesses in providing recognition to their best customers or simply to help them express their "thanks" for selecting the company or service.

GB1Holiday gift giving can be fun, but also difficult at the same time. Let us simplify the process for you to make it easier and even more affordable.  Make certain your order arrives in time, so order by the following dates.  For Halloween order by October 20, 2010. For Thanksgiving order by November 15, 2010.  For Christmas order by December 13, 2010.

Gift Basket Ventures offers affordable Gift Baskets that are perfect for you, your friends, and colleagues and loved ones. Gift baskets make lovely remembrances for all special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, new babies, favorite teachers and weddings. Employees who achieve above expectations, or are saying good-bye to the company would also appreciate a thoughtful gift.  We also provide unique and special gift baskets for all of the holidays.

GB3As Dale Haynes noted, "Customer satisfaction is our priority at Giftbasketventures.com, so please contact us with any requests or concerns and we will respond promptly."


If you have something else in mind or any questions, suggestions, special orders or just need help ordering a product, please email contactus@giftbasketventures.com or call 303-887-9150.
