🥰 The Story Behind Colorado's Most Sought-After Gift Designer
When life handed Leah Ward unexpected challenges in 2020, including breast cancer and COVID isolation, she learned that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. This realization sparked her true calling: creating joy through meticulously crafted gift baskets. Today, Leah's All Occasion Baskets in Colorado Springs transforms thoughtful gifting into an art form.
Each basket weaves its own unique story, a reflection of both giver and recipient. Drawing from her decade of experience in construction and home building, Leah understands that details matter. Whether it's welcoming new homeowners or celebrating life's milestones, each basket is uniquely designed to delight.
Her dedication to personal connection shines as she learns each gift's story. A tea lover's basket might feature hand-selected tea varieties paired with local honey and delicate shortbread cookies, while a basket for a gardening enthusiast could include heirloom seeds, specialty tools, and luxurious hand lotion. For classic lovers, a nostalgic basket might contain a beautifully bound copy of Pride and Prejudice, a vintage perfume of their youth, and gourmet chocolates.
Partnering with local businesses, Leah strengthens our community. Moving from Miami to embrace Colorado's spirit, she understands community connection.
Leah infuses each basket with joy, crafting heartfelt baskets delivered with love. It's more than a gift; it's a cherished memory.
🤩 As a special thank-you, Leah is offering an exclusive reward when mentioning this article: Order two custom gift baskets, and she’ll create a complementary special mini basket as a gift just for you! ($35+ Value) It’s her way of showing gratitude and making your gifting experience even more memorable. Don’t miss this chance to share joy while treating yourself, too.

Your thoughtfully curated basket will bring tears of joy and create cherished memories that last far beyond the unwrapping. Ready to make someone's day extraordinary? Call Leah at (719) 722-7921 or email leahbaskets2321@gmail.com Check out her Facebook page (website coming soon.)
