As South Florida plays host to the world’s largest sporting event, the 32 NFL team owners and other high-profile VIP Executives will receive lavish gift baskets created by Atlanta-based entertainment marketing company, Gifted Presence.

Gifted Presence created three sets of gift baskets for the VIP recipients which will be presented at various events during their stay in Miami.  The first gift basket, decorated with a South Florida theme, will serve as a welcome gift.  Another safari-themed gift basket will be presented during a concert, and the final gift baskets are decorated with a southwestern Arizona theme and will be presented as a farewell gift since the Super Bowl will be held in Arizona in 2008.
