Gift giving. Where it all started. Historical records indicate that gifts were first given out during the time of the Roman Empire. Gifts were given usually in the form of evergreen branches during the winter solace or the first of January. Evergreen branches turned into giving cakes, honeys and other sweet items. Much more popular to receive than a few pine needles.

A Gift To Remember

The same is true today. Gifts of food in particular gourmet foods like those available at Bob’s Gift Baskets are a very popular gift to give or receive.

Today gift giving is a year round event with gifts being given every calender day of the year. Holidays are always a major event, but there are birthdays, sporting and other events, corporate or business gifts expressing a special thank you. Even welcome home or welcome to your new home gifts. We give get well gifts or sorry for your loss gifts. Graduation gifts or gifts to say your sorry to your spouse. Secretaries receive gifts from the boss and they in turn receive gifts from their employees.

Toast that new grad with the To Your Success Gift Basket

It was the largest dirigible ever built and it was the pride of Germany. More then 800 feet long with a range of 8000 miles. It could carry 97 passengers in luxury and comfort from Europe to America with ease. It could fly at 85 miles per hour, crossing the Atlantic much faster then the ocean liners which were the only other means of travel across the sea.

May 6th 1937 - The Hindenburg Explodes

It was filled with over seven million cubic feet of Hydrogen and had a state of the art Mercedes-Benz engine. Helium was known to be safer then Hydrogen, but the latter had greater lifting power. It was to be the Hindenburg’s downfall.

After ten successfull crossings the previous year the Hindenburg was approaching Lakehurst, NJ at 7:20 PM on May 6^th 1937 when disaster struck. A gas leak was suspected as the cause. First the tail caught fire, then seconds later the entire air-ship went up in flames.

Over 1000 spectators watched the disaster as surprisingly only 36 people died. Many passengers leaping to the ground to safety.

Among the spectators that day was Herbert Morrison of WLS radio who gave a gripping and tearful description of the disaster to his listeners.

We at Bob’s Gift Baskets hope that you have enjoyed today moment in history.
