LONDON VALENTINE DAY GIFT HUNTERS: PAMPER WITH A HAMPER!

LONDON-based online exclusive female gift provider Treather.com, founded by serial entrepreneur Jignesh Ghaghada, has announced an exciting and unique range of Valentine’s Day presents for rushed professionals in the City looking for special items for loved ones – but without the time available to browse stores for gift inspiration.

Even more importantly, gifts are given same-day guaranteed delivery across central London – in some cases, arriving within two hours of orders being placed online, according to Jignesh. A 6-hour delivery slot is available with a small surcharge.

“Most of our clients take around 20 minutes to purchase ideal gifts – from logging on, selecting, ordering and receiving confirmation from our processing team: this is certainly more time-effective than the traditional methods of trying to buy gifts for a loved one for Valentine’s Day. And we guarantee same-day delivery across the City.

“More importantly, our gifts are special, different and unique – a real pleasure to give! We have a team of buyers globally, continually looking for that something extra special to add to our product range: and we have added a great series from around the World for Valentine’s Day. Our London clients will have easy access to stunning gifts, including the newly-launched Love Hampers range,” added Jignesh.

The Love Hamper range has been included on the eve of Valentine’s Day, following extensive sourcing and meticulous attention to detail. Each Love Hamper is packed in a rich red satin gift box, and contains a selection of gifts: prices range from £45 to £150 – for further information, see the Notes To Editors section.

“The whole company concept was devised following extreme difficulties I personally faced trying to source gifts for my wife (then girlfriend) on our second Anniversary. I was working in Holland Park at the time, and – to be honest – I was rushed with time.

“The selection of shops was poor, and the gift choices even poorer: I wanted to give gifts with real distinction, to be able to feel real pleasure in giving special and different items to my wife. The sort of gifts that are talked about for years after,” added Jignesh, who founded a distribution company in London before venturing online earlier this year with Treather.com. There will be another online company launched later this year, to complement the Treather.com offering.

“Having found the whole experience extremely frustrating, I decided there was a viable niche to actually develop an online solution for people in a similar situation to myself – particularly when so many are utilising the Internet to purchase items now.”

And with that, Treather.com was founded. From humble beginnings late last year, the company has already established a loyal client base in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Yorkshire – particularly in Kensington and Chelsea.

The London team includes online processors, dispatchers and couriers across the City: orders are delivered with hand-written messages and there is an online email system, whereby the team corresponds with clients, rather than using standard automated emails to confirm orders and payments. Everything is focused on personal service.

“The new Valentine’s Day range is proving incredibly popular, and we have a team dedicated to sourcing unusual, stunning and different items from across the world,” said Jignesh, who researched buyers and foreign markets for 12 months before launching the online business – he wanted to ensure the best items could be provided.

“We were very keen to uncover some of the best gift items globally, and give Londoners instant online access to these items for special presents and occasions.

“And, so far, it has worked. The range of Love Hampers are a most welcome addition to our range of romantic and sensual gifts already online. For example, our Kama Sutra Earthly Delights Pleasure boxes sold more than sixty within 3 weeks of going live recently – largely to clients in Kensington and Chelsea. We are sure that the Love Hampers will prove as popular with our discerning, professional customer base.”

NOTES TO EDITORS:

Treather.com was devised in 2005 as the ideal solution for time-short professionals in the UK – predominantly London at this stage – looking for high-quality gift ideas. The service was soft-launched in the Summer of 2006, after extensive product-sourcing and testing from all over the World. The service went live in August 2006.

Treather.com Managing Director Jignesh Ghaghada studied at Merchant Taylors’ School, where he founded the first Young Enterprise company in the college.

After graduating in Business Studies from Cass Business School in 2000, Jignesh worked as a financial analyst for Pricewaterhousecoopers (PWC), working with media and telecoms companies across Europe and Latin America.

Pursuing an interest in working with start-ups – and having collaborated with large Brands such as ITV, Samsung, BT, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Three on corporate valuations and strategic planning – Jignesh moved in 2005 to become the marketing strategy analyst at Homechoice, a start-up TV and broadband company based in the City. Within a year, Jignesh had founded Opazlight International and established the Treather.com online proposition, offering a rapid gift service with quality distinction.
