Part of the ordering the right gift is placing your hamper order on time. Timing your order will depend largely on the occasion. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Birthday shopping<\/h2>\n<p>Shopping for a loved one or friend&#8217;s birthday should be done at least a month in advance. Even if you don&#8217;t place your hamper order, you can bookmark your favourites so that you can take some extra time to make your final choice. Should place your order at least two weeks ahead of time to ensure that you can secure the delivery date of choice.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Anniversary gifts<\/h2>\n<p>Similar to a birthday hamper order, you should start shopping for anniversary gifts a few weeks in advance and place the order at least a couple of weeks ahead of your anniversary. You can choose to have the gift delivered directly to your spouse. Alternatively, you can arrange for the hamper to be sent to your address the day before your anniversary so that you can present it in person.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Annual holidays<\/h2>\n<p>Annual occasions like Christmas and Mother&#8217;s Day are busy days for hamper vendors. When it comes to these busy occasions, you should place your hamper order at least three weeks in advance. Not only will you secure the gift that you like the most, but you will also secure your spot on the delivery schedule. Couriers are particularly busy around these occasions which is why early ordering is so important.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Unexpected events<\/h2>\n<p>There are also occasions that can catch you by surprise. For example, when a baby arrives early and you have not yet bought the new parents a gift or when a loved one passes away. These are unexpected occasions and you cannot always place your hamper order in advance. In cases such as these, you will surely be forgiven if the gift arrives a day or two late.<\/p>\n<p>You can place a hamper order in advance for expected events or you can place and order for next day delivery if you are caught off guard. If you are worried about forgetting a special occasion, you can set reminders on your calendar one month in advance so that you have more than enough time to browse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When shopping for a gift hamper, you want to make sure that it will make the recipient smile.
