“We provide our clients with Market Basket gift cards to ensure that they have robust holiday meals in addition to gift cards from Marshall’s, TJMaxx, Home Goods, and Target. That allows our clients to concentrate their resources in stores that best meet their basic needs and more festive holiday needs and desires.”
