Give romance a chance this Valentine’s Day with creative gifts from Vivabox™

Gift boxes by best-in-class retailers offer choice and value; 25% discounts on fragrance and barbeque boxes through February 14

 
Gaithersburg, Md – February 2, 2009 – For a gift that lasts this Valentine’s Day, Vivabox offers you and your sweetie unique, experiential gift options at fabulous prices. Vivabox™, a Sodexo company (www.vivaboxusa.com), offers eight signature boxes at prices ranging from $49 to $160. For Valentine’s Day, you can surprise your loved one with either the fragrance box or the barbeque box at a 25 percent discount.

Vivabox gifts offer an experience plus choice. First, recipients get an immediate “taste” of their experience through the items in the box they receive. Second, the gift recipient selects another gift by redeeming a gift card that is included in the box.

The fragrance box includes a choice from ten sample size designer scents (five women’s, five men’s) with a gift certificate for a full size bottle from Sephora. Designers include Dior, Juicy Couture, Kenzo, YSL, and Bulgari. It is being offered for $41.25 until Valentine’s Day.

The barbeque gift ($67.30 until Valentine’s Day) includes a sample of grilling rubs and spices from Urban Accents, as well as a gift card to be redeemed from the BBQ Gift Menu. The menu includes premium meat selections from Omaha Steaks like Filet Mignon, Rib Eye, and Boneless Strip.

Another popular option for Valentine’s Day is the wine Vivabox – which includes six bottles of wine that will be delivered to their door from My Wines Direct as well as a copy of Wine Spectator magazine’s guide to the basics, Essentials of Wine. The recipient also receives 12 issues of Wine Spectator magazine.

Other Vivabox themes are coffee, two spa options, tea and gourmet food, with more concepts in development.

Vivabox is a leading European gift company that debuted in the US in October 2008 as a business unit of Sodexo, a global foodservice and facilities management company specializing in quality of life services. First introduced in Belgium in 2003, Vivabox was acquired by Sodexo in 2007 through its successful global Service Vouchers and Cards business that recently posted $10 billion in global issue volume.
