One New York based company is changing the way people approach food baskets. Its baskets are filled with an array of delicious fine wines, gourmet spirits, foods, desserts, sweets, and so much more. This review covers everything you need to know about Clubs Galore so that you can start your basket-browsing experience the right way.
About Clubs Galore
Clubs Galore is a small gift basket company based out of New York. The brand is distinguished by its premium, gourmet, and high-quality approach to every basket. When you order a basket from this brand, you can expect a fine attention to detail, outstanding customer service, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The brand’s popularity is far-reaching, so much so that its gifts have been featured on prime media sources such as:
- The Today Show
- Redbook
- The Oprah Winfrey Show
- Good Morning America
- In Style
With the widespread media coverage, many have come to know, appreciate, and recognize Clubs Galore and its products. Now, you too can order a basket through the website’s easy platform. For those of you who are more inclined to use the telephone, then you can certainly call in after viewing the large selection of baskets online.
Club Membership Options
One very unique quality to this brand that you are unlikely to find elsewhere is that Clubs Galore actually offers a monthly membership program for its gift baskets. Actually, it has a number of membership programs that you can join. The membership programs are:
- Build Your Gift of the Month
- Cupcake of the Month
- Ice Cream of the Month
- Jewelry of the Month
Since the only program that is relevant to this review is “Build Your Gift of the Month,” it is the only one that will be covered. However, if you enjoy the brand’s offerings enough and its gift basket club membership, then feel free to visit the website to learn more about the other brands and club memberships that Clubs Galore features.
The Build Your Gift of the Month club is a membership program that is ideal for those who regularly purchase gift baskets. With this program, you get to build your own basket on a monthly basis by mixing and matching any items that the brand offers through its many clubs. Since every club has a different price, the cost of membership will vary depending upon what you choose.
When you choose the program, you receive a personalized certificate that explains your gift, your name on the gift card with the delivery of the month, free shipping, and wonderful customer service. If you want, you can have the basket sent out to someone other than yourself. This way, someone special can experience the enjoyment that comes with an absolutely unique and one-of-a-kind basket designed and hand-picked by you.
Brand Gift Categories
Even if you do not become a member of the Build Your Gift of the Month Club, that does not mean that you cannot enjoy all that the brand has to offer. Clubs Galore has a number of great basket categories to suit everyone’s needs. Here are the main basket categories that you’ll find:
- Drink Gifts
- Gift Boxes
- Gourmet Food
- Desserts and Sweets
- Dinner/Gift Card Club
- Home and spa
Each category is further divided into sub-sections based upon items that can go into the basket. For example, if you click on the Desserts and Sweets basket, you’ll find that it is divided into sections like pies, cakes, chocolates, college care, ice cream, cupcake, and so forth. Moreover, you can even browse through the basket based upon the price. This helps you budget for your next basket so that you can choose a stunning, yet affordable option.
The only odd quality to the brand is the way it sets up its baskets. Instead of calling basket types “categories,” the brand calls them “clubs.” For instance, if you want an ice cream basket, it is called the “Ice Cream Club.” Once you get past this minor oddity, everything else about the brand is quite impressive.
Further, if you want to venture into disadvantages, then the main one is that the only way to mix and match your gift basket is to join the Build Your Own Basket program. Otherwise, you are pretty relegated to the type of category or “club” that you choose. In addition, because the brand has so many clubs, it can be difficult to find exactly what you are looking. This becomes even clearer when you click on “customer favorites.” In doing so, you’ll find many other categories that are not noticeable at the onset. This can make it difficult for you to find what you are looking for.
The Good News: Satisfaction Guarantee
The quality of the products that you receive with the basket are great, there is no doubt about that. Aside from the quality items, Clubs Galore also features a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every basket that it sells. This way, when you order a basket, you can be certain that you are making the right decision. If you are dissatisfied with your basket for any reason, then the brand will issue a refund. Keep in mind that to get the full details regarding the return process, you’ll need to speak to a representative. Also, when you join a program, you will find that it never renews automatically. This way, you won’t ever have to struggle with your membership.
Summary
Overall, Clubs Galore is an excellent brand, aside from the odd concept of calling baskets “clubs.” If you can get past that, then you’ll find that Clubs Galore has a lot to offer and most importantly, if you are looking for premium and excellent products, then you’ll find it through the brand’s offerings. This way, there is no way your next basket can go wrong.
