New business offers baskets with a twist

By Helen Conzemius, for SiouxFalls.Business

A new online business in Sioux Falls is selling themed gift baskets with a charitable twist.

Baskets U Love was started in May by Joanne Hamlyn, an animal lover who wanted to use her creativity to give back.

Hamlyn compiles gift baskets filled with unique and personal items. For instance, a police-themed basket comes with shoeshine, gun cleaner and other items that customers would have to go to multiple stores to find.

Other themes include cats, dogs, newlyweds and babies.

A percentage of revenue from each basket will be donated to the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society and Sioux Empire Pit Rescue.

“Now I get to use my creative passion while giving back to the community and helping the animals,” Hamlyn said.

Baskets cost between $70 and $80. Orders ship in one to two days and are delivered in South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.

Hamlyn said she hopes to have a physical location for the business someday.
