Gifting Season – Yabulela Gift Hampers

Here we are again at this time of the year when the gifting season always seems to become a roller coaster ride for suppliers, businesses, and clients alike. No matter how well one tries to plan there will always be those last-minute orders arriving. As well as the impossible gift requests to do at short notice. But here at Yabulela Gift Hampers we really do try and make every effort to assist anyone that requests a gift from us over the fast-paced gifting season.

Even those who land at our doorstep with an urgent and short-notice gift order. While not always possible to assist a client in the specified time frame, we do our best to get as close as possible.

 

Gifting Season – Christmas Time

This is never more true than over the year-end gifting season period. And we believe that this year will not be much different than any before. We will most likely see that sudden spurt of international gift orders arriving on our desks just before we close. We love to assist our international clients in any way we can as often they cannot be with family and friends over the Festive Season every year.

Where we can, we try to assist within 24 hours of the gift being ordered and paid for in full, pending stock availability on our shelves at the time. This is not always possible when we hit the peak gift season, but we still do our very best to help out where we can.

And it’s a really proud moment when we manage to create a gorgeous gift in a matter of hours to assist our clients from all over the world. Connecting People One Gift at A Time Across South Africa is truly what we love to do and achieve for our clients.

 

The Creative Process of Gifting

Compiling a custom-packed gift hamper or gift is one thing. Creating a beautiful end package is quite another. The creative process of assembling one of our ribbon themes is very much like creating a painting. Therefore we have to look at the canvas – in this instance, the gift box, then we start with the main colour, and then we work from there to build the final look.

Often it can take a few tries and sometimes (luckily seldom more than often) it just never comes together. In most cases, we can pull it off with our first attempt, and that just comes from lots of practice.

Creating the final touch to our bows is the best part of our job. This is where our heart is shared and our thoughts are focused on the person receiving the gift. Therefore we gather as much information from our clients about the recipient of their gift as possible.

It is often in the little details that special moments are remembered and kept close to one’s heart. That is exactly what we try to accomplish with any gift that leaves our workroom. A lasting feeling of pleasure and a fond memory of receiving a special gift from someone you love and hold dear.

Connect with us so we can make your Gifting Season a happy and stress-free time. Our mission is to create an enjoyable gifting season for you from start to finish.

Reflecting on the 2022 trading year and the Gifting Season

It has yet again been a complicated and challenging business year for all small businesses in South Africa. We have been blessed with some growth during this year, which is always very welcome. Feelings of positive growth for 2023 have us excited to see where we go next. So with constant tweaks and improvements behind the scenes, we can only improve our offerings and services to our clients.

The economy in South Africa remains under duress and still has a long way to go to get back on track. So we will continue to harness all our efforts, work smarter and find ways to still bring value with exceptional quality to our clients who support us from all over the world.

We had some personal hurdles to face during this last stretch of 2022 with the loss of two family members within one month of one another. Both these losses came with huge responsibilities and the need to support family members with ongoing care and practical assistance remains ongoing. As a sole proprietor having to work through these events while trying to keep your business running does cause struggles mentally and physically. So for us, this year-end has been a bit of a struggle to keep the energy levels up and running throughout this gifting season.

There were wonderful highlights in between all the hurdles of sadness and sorrow, we became a grandmother to a gorgeous grandson in 2022 which has truly been a ray of happy sunshine injected into our life. We were awarded Best Treat Gift Hampers Business – South Africa by the LuxLife Magazine for 2022. This really was a most extraordinary highlight for us this year. What an honour to be acknowledged as a small business in this way! It really did keep us going through this difficult stretch of 2022 and we know that endorsements such as these will ensure that we grow from strength to strength in spite of the struggling economy.

Yabulela were superb! They delivered client hampers, beautifully presented and with a delicious selection, despite a very tight deadline and over the busiest time. Karen Carstens’ service and attention to detail was just fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yabulela!

I needed to order some gift hampers for overseas colleagues for my company and came across Yabulela during my search. They have a variety of options, which is great! In particular, they have hampers to cater to different dietary requirements such as halal baskets which was exactly what we were looking for. Not to mention, the pictures of the prepared hampers looked beautiful and the price was reasonable. When I made the order, there was a little mix-up with the names and addresses. I was able to contact the team at Yabulela via Whatsapp. Karen responded quickly and was so helpful. She also provided updates on the hampers and the delivery. She was such a great support in ensuring that our colleagues would receive their hampers with little to no issues. Our colleagues love the hampers and we couldn’t be more satisfied. Highly highly recommend Yabulela Gift Hampers!

Thoughtful. Willing to go the extra mile. Value for money. Considerate. Utterly impressed with all my interactions with Karen at Yabulela. I genuinely wish all such dealings would be as pleasant and straightforward – cannot think of further words without beginning to sound trite. Five stars are not anywhere sufficient to truly recognise and appreciate her efforts. Anyone reading this review should stop looking elsewhere and proceed directly to the Yabulela website. Thank you Karen.

Ordered the Festive Family Hamper from the UK for family in the Strand to celebrate the arrival of their baby boy. Using Yabulela’s website was easy to order & make payment plus the communication was 5 stars. I would highly recommend using them for hampers and I would use again. Thank you Yanulela!

Glowing Review for Karen at Yabulela Gift Hampers

 

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to Karen from Yabulela Gift Hampers, and I cannot recommend her services enough! From our very first conversation, she was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. She perfectly executed the gift I ordered with 100% accuracy, and I could genuinely feel the love and care that went into the packaging.

 

Karen’s dedication to delivering a high-quality experience truly stood out, and it made the entire process a delight. I highly recommend Yabulela Gift Hampers for anyone looking for a thoughtful and beautifully crafted gift. You won’t be disappointed!

Client Testimonial Yabulela Gift Hampers

We ordered a hamper to say thank you to the 4 carers who have looked after my mother through critical illnesses. We were immediately contacted with suggestions on how the hamper could be changed so that all 4 had a fabulous choice and all got mugs, candles, etc. Personal, empathic, and beautiful service. Very rare nowadays and enormously appreciated.

This was the second time this month we have used Yabulela to send gifts to family in SA and it has been an absolute pleasure to have worked with Karen again. From the excellent communication, top quality gift selection, exquisite presentation and attention to detail, to accommodating my unusual request – everything was seamless and done with great care. Thank you so much Karen and team!

I am hopeless at shopping but this was a fabulous experience. Yabulela takes away all the stress of shopping and not knowing what to buy. A few Whatsapps, Karen has incredible ideas, patience and such a warm personality. Incredibly professional, the gift arrived fast, looked magnificent and was a great success on the day. I would recommend her any day and I will certainly use Yabulela again. Nothing was too much trouble and it easy and fun! Well done Yabulela!
