Gourmet Gift Baskets Hand-Delivered The Same Day

When you want a gift that feels fresh, generous and thoughtful, a gourmet gift basket is hard to beat. Our local florists and gift experts hand-select premium snacks, chocolate, coffee, tea and seasonal fruit, then arrange each basket just before delivery so it arrives looking full, colorful and ready to enjoy the very same day.

🤝 Why Send a Gourmet Gift Basket?

Gourmet gift baskets are a timeless choice for get well wishes, sympathy gifts, thank yous, birthdays and corporate gifts. Each basket is carefully arranged with favorites like artisan cheeses, sausages, crackers, cookies, nuts, chocolate, coffee, tea and fresh fruit. Many designs also include cozy touches like a teddy bear or elegant keepsake container for an elevated experience.

Unlike warehouse boxes that travel for days, our gourmet baskets are hand-assembled the same day by a local florist or gift expert in the recipient's area. Your gift arrives looking full, fresh and photo-ready with a complimentary personalized card.

Choose from our best-selling gourmet baskets, fruit & cheese baskets, fruit & gourmet baskets and fruit & flowers combinations.

Fruit & Gourmet Quality, Substitutions & Seasonal Availability

Because our gourmet and fruit baskets are made locally, your gift is designed with the freshest, best-looking ingredients available that day. Exact varieties and accents may differ slightly from the photos depending on season and market availability, but our partners will always substitute with items of equal or greater value to keep your basket looking full and generous.

During peak holidays or in certain regions, some items may be more limited. In those cases, our local florists and gift experts will adjust the mix while keeping the same overall look, feel and value of the gift you selected.

Fruit & Gourmet Basket Storage & Care Tips for Your Recipient

To help your gourmet basket stay fresh as long as possible, we recommend removing the fruit and perishable items from any protective wrap shortly after delivery and storing them in a cool, dry place. Softer or very ripe fruit can be refrigerated to extend freshness. If the basket includes cheese or other perishable gourmet items, those should be refrigerated according to the instructions on the packaging.

Most gourmet and fruit baskets are best enjoyed within a few days of arrival. Encourage your recipient to share and enjoy the gift right away for the best flavor and texture.

We deliver Gourmet Gift Baskets for all major holidays including:

Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S)

What types of goodies come in your gourmet gift baskets?

Our Gourmet Gift Baskets typically feature a mix of artisan cheeses, sausages, crackers, cookies, nuts, chocolate, coffee, tea and seasonal fresh fruit. Exact assortments will vary by local partner, season and availability, but every basket is designed to look full, fresh and colorful.

How fresh are the gourmet gift baskets when they arrive?

Gourmet baskets are assembled close to delivery time by a local florist or gift expert in the recipient's area. Because the gift doesn't sit in transit for days, the snacks and fruit arrive attractive and ready to enjoy. For best results, we recommend refrigerating any cut or very ripe fruit and any perishable items shortly after delivery.

Can I send a gourmet gift basket to a hospital, office or workplace?

Yes. Gourmet gift baskets and fruit baskets are popular choices for hospitals, offices and workplaces. Please provide as much detail as possible (room number, department, company name, etc.) at checkout, and check that the facility accepts outside deliveries and perishable gifts.

Can I add other items like cheese, chocolate or flowers?

Many of our designs include fruit and cheese, fruit and gourmet foods or fruit and flowers. Depending on the product, you may also be able to add extras like chocolate, cookies or a teddy bear. Look for available add-ons during checkout to customize your gift.

How does same-day delivery for gourmet gift baskets work?

Same-day gourmet gift basket delivery is available in most major cities and many smaller towns. If the recipient's ZIP code qualifies, simply place your order by about 2:00 PM in the recipient's time zone and choose the same-day option at checkout. A local partner will then design and deliver your basket that same day.

What if my recipient has allergies or dietary restrictions?

Gourmet and fruit baskets are often a good option for lighter, more flexible gifting, but some designs may include nuts, chocolate, crackers or other items that contain common allergens. Please review the product description carefully and note any concerns in the delivery instructions. While our partners do their best, they cannot guarantee completely allergen-free preparation.
