I really like the clean look and layout. The colors really flow well with your design. As for getting listed, content is key. Bu that only works well if your content has your search terms in it. One suggestion is to put this test on your footer.php page.

Frequently Searched Terms: florida gift basket, custom gift baskets, gift basket in florida, gift basket tampa florida, gift basket Orlando florida, gift basket Jacksonville florida, Miami florida gift basket florida gift basket, custom gift baskets, gift basket in florida, gift basket tampa florida, gift basket Orlando florida, gift basket Jacksonville florida, Miami florida gift basket.

I would also search for some free SEO tools to help you with your meta tags. The keywords should not repeat, and cant be as long as you have them.
Your Alt tags are filled in which is good but you could also put a keyword or two in allong with it.
Also work on getting more link exchanges. Submit to free local directories, and keep on building your site content up.

best of luck,

drop this from you code. You want the search engines to crawl you site as much as possible.

I agree with the above statements.

A few things you should try:
- Get rid of the spacing in your URIs (for example http://www.arcanabaskets.com/Baby%2BGift%2BBaskets/ could be better written as http://www.arcanebaskets.com/Baby_Gift_Baskets/ (use underscores, not spaces)

- Add some more content to the site, particular on your directory pages (ie. http://www.arcanabaskets.com/Baby%2BGift%2BBaskets/). Add a bit of text at the top explaining how better your Baby Gift Baskets are than the competitors, tout their quality, and exceptional pricing.

- Change the "Let's See What We Have Here" text to the actual name of the page, and ensure it's enclosed with <h1> tags (properly formatted via css, of course).

- Write a few articles and try to get them on other websites that will post an About the Author section. Topics that come to mind are, "Selecting the Perfect XXX Gift" (modify for the time of the year, ie. Mother's Day), "Designing and Building Your Own Gift Basket" (this may seem like it would detract from your business, by allowing do-it-yourselfers tips on how to do what you do, but it will actually boost your sales and you could even start a DIY category on your website selling materials.
