Work From Home Opportunity: La Bella Baskets

If you're looking to start your own business, have very little money to start up, and enjoy making people happy, La Bella Baskets might be just what you are looking for.  La Bella Baskets offers gift baskets delivered directly to your gift recipients' doors.  They have gift baskets for just about any occasion, anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, holidays, baby and children's gifts, corporate gifts, get well baskets and the list goes on and on.  As a gift basket consultant, you would never have to carry any inventory.  You would be responsible for concentrating on sales and recruiting (if you wish).  Even though La Bella pays you  a $15.00 referral fee for every referral, they are not a multi-level marketing company or MLM. 

Here's what I like about the program:

  • La Bella is not MLM
  • No parties necessary, everything can be done online if you wish
  • Nice looking, high quality gift baskets
  • Potential for repeat customers
  • Wide range of potential customers from corporate to individuals
  • Nice looking website/storefront
  • Very inexpensive to get started
  • La Bella offers gift baskets for diabetics (sugar free) and kosher items as well
  • 7 day trial is only $1.97
  • Pay structure is simple and fair
  • 20% commission on new and repeat customers' orders
  • La Bella actually makes the baskets and ships them to the gift recipients for you.  This is not a drop shipping company.

Here's what I'm not crazy about:


As I've said other times in other reviews, I'm just not a big fan of monthly fees for websites.  You do have to pay $19.95/month for the website and ongoing training with La Bella.  It's not a totally unreasonable fee, to be fair, but it is still a fee.  On a more positive note, you can cancel anytime that you wish.  There are no contracts at all.
