| - Sunshine Baskets & Gifts is a wonderful surprise for a any person looking for some help with gift wrapping during the holiday season.
One would think there would countless wrapping services available in Las Vegas during the holiday season. Well, there's not. Unless you buy your gifts at a specific location that offers wrapping during the holidays OR you want a Girl Scout's weary mother handling your precious gifts, you will be wrapping the gifts yourself. And outside of the Christmas holiday there are only two business that I know of who offer a wrapping service: Alligator Soup and Papyrus. They were the only businesses offering this service during the "off season" in the whole town. So you can imagine my joy at discovering Sunshine Baskets & Gifts---they not only did a lovely job with my gift wrapping, but the owner and her husband were kind and provided excellent service.
I know purists want the joy of wrapping each and every gift themselves. I have no such desires. Days before Christmas I needed MANY gifts wrapped and I had little to no time to do it. I contacted Sunshine Baskets & Gifts and the owner, Kathleen, arranged her schedule so that I could bring over 20+ packages to be wrapped. I took some paper, my credit card, and my pre-labeled gifts. Kathleen promised to use some of her own paper if mine ran out. What really impressed me about Sunshine Baskets & Gifts was their willingness to go above and beyond to make my life a little easier. I told her I was planning to ship a few of the packages and she offered to box and ship them for me. It took some trust to leave a number of gifts with a stranger (not associated with the Post Office, UPS, Fedex, or any other such entity). But I took the risk. And I'm glad I did. The gifts arrived on time and according to my family, they were all beautifully wrapped. And I was very pleased with the rest of the gifts that I picked up the next day.
In all, I spent about $100 for the entire service. With paper, decorations, labor, shipping, and boxing during the craziness of the Christmas season, I felt like I was very fairly charged.
This is not a huge operation. This is two considerate people who care about providing good service. I was happy with the workmanship and I intend to use their services in the future.
