How exciting! super stoked. I think I will still sell on my own website as well to have another outlet to sell in and to boost the Sugar High brand. I'll have to wait though until I have my inventory all set up to launch the website. Hopefully I'll find out about my credit application from the vendor soon.
I have also been thinking about different shipping options - to make sure the gift basket gets there in one piece. At first I was thinking packing peanuts, but that has turned out to be very expensive, I think I paid about $70 for 7 cubic feet, not knowing how many boxes that would fill. I'm hoping it will fill 15-20 boxes, but we'll see. I'm thinking I might, instead of packing peanuts, wrap the gift baskets in bubble wrap and then stuff the empty space in the box with craft paper/packing paper - I think this will be a lot cheaper and still hold everything in the basket together during shipping. I also learned about Glue Dots to use instead of double-sided tape, apparently it will stick a lot better and stay.
Another trick is the gift basket shrink wrap system, checkout this video on YouTube:

This is kind of expensive though, for a 24" system, it is something like $350-$399.
Anyways, many things to think about in the gift basket making world. Can't wait to sell more on Amazon!!
