Celebrations, a minority-owned South Texas based company located in Northstar Mall, San Antonio, Texas was hand-picked to design Celebrity Gift baskets at the 12th Annual NAMIC Vision Awards to be held in Beverly Hills April 18th, 2006.

(PRWEB) March 30, 2006 -- Celebrations was selected by the production team, Ruby Red Inc.'s CEO Gina Holland, and its’ President, Jamie Balthazar to design eloquent themed celebrity gift baskets for the star-studded list of nominees and winners of the 12th Annual Vision Awards scheduled for April 18th, 2006 at the exquisite Regent Beverly Wilshire, 9500 Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills, CA. The event is being hosted by D. L. Hughley.

Celebration’s gift basket will include elegant pieces of jewelry from their Signature Collection along with wine from its partners at Exceptional Wines; a Hispanic owned and operated winery in South Texas. In addition, the gifts will include customized chocolates.

Hollywood's Corporate Community and Diversity Suppliers have utilized Celebrations as an affordable way to adorn cast members as well as rewarding talent and crews, thereby cutting production costs. Their "Star Quality Jewels" brand have been purchased by Celebrities as Paris Hilton, former Sony recording artist Mystere, Kirk Franklin, and astute films executives such as Brenda Z. Doby with Union Bank Film Finance, Fox Pictures producers, and various casting directors and actors. Most recently Celebrations was selected to provide gift baskets for a Hollywood celebrity wedding. They also handled the design and celebrity gift baskets for the 2006 Houston Black Film Festival this past February.

CEO Sandra Hucker is selective in choosing pieces to market to high-end clients. Their stock includes pieces by established & new designers as well as one of a kind pieces from around the globe. “I’m certainly ecstatic and humbled about the selection, as I know they could have worked with any number of companies,” says Sandra, founder and CEO of Celebrations regarding the selection. We hope to continue to bring uniquely themed packaging and eloquent wrapping to Hollywood as well as corporations across America to showcase our spectrum of dynamic designs. www.celebrationstoday.com
