2065, RE: Gift Basket Business

If this is your first baby you are highly under estimating the work involved in taking care of a newborn and a new business at the same time. You also must have training for gift basket assembly. But biggest of all is having a diverse inventory (I have a basement full of baskets and out dated foodstuff that never sold). That is a lot to handle and quite an investment.

However, if you are inclined to start some business at home, why not try a diaper cake biz? No perishables and hey, if you buy wholesale (which you must!), you can get good deals on your own personal baby items.

Otherwise, you may consider selling over the internet with drop shippers (the wholesale company ships the products when you make a sale). No inventory, no overhead. That biz model works great for me.

Best wishes with the new baby.
