Running a successful business doesn't have to run your life.
Hi, I'm Joyce.
That is me when I started my gift business and today -- 29 years later. I believe that you can have a profitable business business . . . and still have a life. That's why I started GiftBasketNetwork to help smart women (and some men) to do the very same thing.
No one wants to stop living your life because you’re buried under a business that’s running YOU.
I believe you don’t have to choose between work and family — you can have BOTH and do them WELL.
I should know. I've done it!

Joyce has been an exceptional mentor and business coach to me. Her kindness, willingness to share her own experiences and wisdom has been invaluable to me in my learning the gifting business.
Joyce continuously provides support, encouragement and innovative ideas to help the members of the gifting association to grow their business and attain success.
I am always constantly amazed of how she finds time to master the many hats she wears, while always quick to respond to a call for help. Joyce, my hat is off to you for all that you do for the gift basket industry and know that I appreciate you!

Joyce Reid is a pioneer in our gift basket industry. In the original magazine for our industry, “Gift Basket Review,” Joyce’s gift basket business, Creative Gifts to Go,” was listed as one of the top companies in the country. She later wrote many articles in Cherie Reagor’s “Rave Reviews” magazine with helpful messages and advice. She eventually formed “Gift Basket Network” and has a Facebook group for the gift basket industry. Gift retailers are also given the opportunity to list their business’ information on a national referral site, including pictures of each company’s work, which is very helpful. Joyce has written many e-books that are available for downloading that have been helpful to many people, whether beginners or seasoned veterans like myself.

I am very happy that I joined Joyce at the Gift Basket Network. After trying other networking sites I have to say that I feel right at home with Joyce and all the members of the network.
Joyce is neither opinionated nor judgmental...she gives helpful hints, ideas and whatever else is asked for without judgment.
She seems to know just what her members need even before we do.
