October 31, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
My Favorite City Gifts, www.myfavoritecity.com, the largest online supplier of destination themed Gifts, Gift Baskets, Souvenirs, and Favors has expanded its lineup to over 1,000 products. The company now offers gifts tailored to 25 destinations, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Texas, and Washington DC. Customers include Fortune 500 Companies, National Hotel Chains, Event Management Companies, Gift Shops, and thousands of individuals across the country.

The company’s expanded offering solves the classic problem faced by businesses and individuals looking for memorable, but inexpensive gifts to welcome or thank customers, colleagues, and friends. While the internet has made ordering gifts and gift baskets easier, it is still hard to find unique gift ideas which fit into tight budgets. There are thousands of souvenir shops and local gift basket companies who offer destination themed gifts, but most do not sell online, or cover such a diverse set of destinations.

MyFavoriteCity.com was founded in 2003 by e-commerce executive Dave Deasy, formerly of HP and AOL. Deasy helped launch highly successful online businesses, including hpshopping.com and AOL Small Business. According to Deasy, “we are enabling shoppers to quickly find, purchase, and deliver unique and affordable gifts covering a range of themes and price points. Whether you are hosting a corporate meeting with hundreds of out of town guests, helping a friend celebrate a birthday, or planning a direct marketing campaign – gifts and souvenirs tailored to major destinations is a novel and popular idea.”

While most gift basket companies offer a small selection of widely available foods, MyFavoriteCity.com Gift Baskets feature over 1,000 gourmet foods, travel books, and fun souvenirs tailored to 25 major destinations. The company sources products from over 100 suppliers across the country in order to ensure unique and local offerings.

In addition to offering nationwide next day shipping on standard Gift Baskets like the Taste of San Francisco, the New York Welcome Gift, and the Chicago Sampler Gift – MyFavoriteCity.com also offers customization of gift baskets to match any theme or budget. Customers can shop online by visiting www.myfavoritecity.com or calling 800-285-1880.
