LOCAL VANCOUVER, CANADA BUSINESS EARNS SPOT ON AMERICA’S TOP 100 GIFT BASKET BUSINESS LIST

JACKSONVILLE, FL —August 3, 2006 — Pacific Basket Company was ranked as a Fast 50 Company for accelerated revenue growth for the past year and has also awarded with honors as one of America’s Top 50 gift basket companies.

This company was chosen for the Top 100 list from hundreds of participants in the GBR State of the Industry Survey open to 20,000 gift basket/ gift-packing companies in America.

Debra Paulk, publisher of GBR- an international trade publication for the gift basket industry since 1990, applauded the efforts of all the survey participants who continually strive to pursue their business goals.

“It was gratifying to realize through the process of the Top 100 list how many high earners there are in this business,” Paulk reports. “It was inspiring!”

“And it was equally gratifying to see the pride that accompanied each entry, regardless of the income. This extra effort was particularly beneficial and deeply appreciated,” she continues. “These entries were given with no thought to personal gain, and provided the balance necessary to achieve statistically accurate results in the survey.”
