Did You Know: Giving Green Earth Organics Gifts

"Did You Know" is our new series of blog posts about Green Earth Organics: how it works, how you can do more with your account, etc.

Coming up with an original, thoughtful, useful, environmentally- and socially-conscious gift can be hard. If organic food is something you would be interested in gifting, then Green Earth Organics has a way to help you.

We do now deliver out as far as Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and we've recently added a weekly delivery route to Bowen Island. If your recipient is within our delivery area, we can bring their gift to them.

There are several gift options available. We have some predesigned gift baskets available, which can be customized. We can also build a gift basket from scratch or arrange for your recipient to receive a set number of our bins. For any of these options, you can phone us in the office (604-708-2345) or create an account with your recipient's information and instructions in the "Delivery Instructions" such as: "One time gift delivery" or "Deliver 3 bins only - gift". To give a gift basket, choose the "Custom Bin" option when creating an account and add the gift basket after, or customize it by adding any items you want and then call or email us to have it packed in a basket (the basket currently costs an extra $5 if you aren't using one of our pre-designed gifts).

When we see that an order is a gift delivery, we will deliver it in a gift basket if one is ordered or in a cardboard box otherwise, so you won't have to worry about paying a bin deposit and the recipient won't have to return anything. When the gift has been delivered - whether it is one basket or a dozen bins over several months - we will put the account on hold automatically.

If you aren't sure when your recipient will want to receive food - say, if you're giving a wedding gift - we can also do gift certificates. To arrange for a gift certificate, just give us a call or email. We can do any amount and we can customize it, then we can mail it to you or even directly to your recipient.

We have done gift deliveries and gift certificates for all kinds of situations: to welcome new babies, to wish someone to "get well soon", to express sympathy, to celebrate weddings, to warm a house, and to celebrate a birthday. Whatever your occasion, we'd be pleased to help you create the right gift.
