Overview
We want to help others feel empowered and proud, to love what they do, and to be able to successfully balance all aspects of their lives. Whether you're a sophisticated woman with an eye for fabulous packaging and design, a self starter who finds the sales world to be the ultimate challenge, or an entrepreneurial yummy mummy or delicious daddy wishing to balance career and parenthood, we invite you to join our 2B&B family!
Products & Services
We set out on a mission to transform the lowly gift basket into a veritable work of art. We kept the packaging tasteful and clean and filled it with a plethora of tantalizingly delicious treats and simply chic products. And believe us, a product makes it into our baskets only after it has passed many rigorous tests. Make no mistake, we bring a bit of fabulousness to gift giving thanks to our excellent taste and even more excellent taste buds! Now a number of years later, it is the two blonds, Seri and Laura, carrying on the tradition, with a host of talented, dynamic, and stylishly discriminating women and men at our side. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, gift baskets and sophistication really can go hand in hand.
Training & Support
Training sessions for new franchisees take place every few months, as demand requires, and most often occurs in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where our company was founded in 2002. These sessions last approximately one weekend in length. Your travel and hotel expenses will be paid for, if required, for your initial round of training only. This is included as part of your franchisee fee. These expenses will be paid for one person only. If you have a partner in your franchise, he/she is more than welcome to attend initial training. We may opt, at our discretion, to train new franchisees in our office or their homes, if they would like to open their franchise well before a scheduled training session. In addition, there will be an annual general meeting for all franchisees that you or one of your representatives will be required to attend, at your own expense. This will most often be held in August or September in preparation for the upcoming holiday season. If you received your initial training just a few months prior to this general meeting, we may give you permission to not attend for that year.
