 The gift hamper occasions this week has changed a little.

1. Birthday
2. Thank You
3. Photo Frame
4. Anniversary
5. Encouragement

After last weeks change in the rankings this week they have some what reverted. The 'thank you flower' design has reclaimed its top spot maintaining its lead in the all time rankings. As I have mentioned in the past its these generic designs that are always the most popular. The more situations and people it can be applied too the more popular the design.

We must not overlook the fact of category though. Thank you is the second highest occasion in the all time list next to birthdays. How often do we say thank you to friends and family, its no wonder the design deems popular.

In second place this week we have the 'birthday girl' gift hamper design. We could say its no surprise the birthday girl design is ranked in 3rd place in the all time list being that its one of our oldest designs, but... The 'birthday girl' gift hamper is consistently in the top 5 designs every week. And this week its ranked second. Perhaps its the stereotype that girls like to receive chocolates with today's modern 'party girl' image which makes this design ever more popular.

The 'happy birthday' design this week has dropped down to 3rd place from second but is still one place ahead of itself on the all time tables showing increased popularity of the design. The great thing about this design is that it lets you select the age and choose to be display that info via candles or balloon. 

In fourth place this week is the 'happy birthday cake and candle' design. This design has dropped down from first place. Not doing so well this week but still maintaining a place in the top 5 which is enough to maintain its rank on the all time table of position 2. 

Lastly we have the 'happy birthday cake design' with the humorous twist. This crops up now and again proving popular with the maturer crowds for obvious reasons.

Remember with all these designs you can also apply your custom messages making the hampers that more special.

The gift hamper occasions this week are very similar too the last time. The different occasions do appear to be quite consistent in recent months.

The 'candle and cake' design has again claimed its place at the top of the pile as the most popular lid for the gift hampers. Week in week out this lid is selected rarely being knocked out of the top 3. The generic simplicity of the design is what appeals. The fact that its just a cake with birthday balloons means it can be enjoyed by a greater range of people. This is due to it not targeting and specific age range or gender. As it stands the design is in second place in the 'all time tables' to the 'flower design'.
