As I prepared for the holiday season, I spent time much of November securing gift basket orders and opening wholesale accounts with local vendors.  I met with the sales and marketing team at Diamond Bakery in Honolulu, Hawaii to introduce myself as a new, up and coming business owner that specializes in custom gift baskets on Oahu.  What resulted out of that short meeting was an opportunity that came unexpected to me - packaging their cookie and cracker selection into gift baskets to be sold at various Longs Drugs stores!

I just visited the Pali Longs this morning, and there were just six baskets left on the shelf.  What is amazing is that the baskets were put out just two days ago!  Of course I am very happy with the outcome and rapid sales.

Diamond Bakery has been making people smile since 1921… celebrating their 88th anniversary.  To be a part of their growing success is an incredible feeling, and I am appreciative for their trust and supporting other small businesses in Hawaii.
