How to choose a birthday basket

Chocolate stands out

Chocolate turned up in 17% of birthday orders, against 6% of all orders. The teal birthday box pairs assorted chocolates with vanilla chai for $77.99; the chocolate gift baskets offer more.

Cheese for a party

Cheese was in 11% of birthday orders and only 1% of all orders. The gourmet basket with acacia wood mills suits a birthday dinner or a gathering at home.

Bubbles over still wine

Sparkling wine was in 19% of birthday orders, much like the 18% of all orders, while still wine dropped to 4% from 29%. The sparkling wine basket adds a plush birthday bear.

Nobody to show ID?

Wine, champagne and whiskey are handed only to someone 21 or older with photo ID. The coffee and chamomile tea basket and the dessert gift box carry no alcohol, and the baskets with no alcohol have more.

One basket is enough

97% of birthday orders held a single gift. Pick one that fits the person rather than building a bundle.

Weekend birthdays

20% of birthday orders came in on a Saturday or Sunday. Same-day delivery runs on weekends only in the Los Angeles delivery area; a courier parcel waits for Monday.

Birthdays at the office

Companies sent 8% of birthday orders from Apr 2024 to Sep 2026; across all orders from 2024 and 2025 the share was 24%, so most birthday baskets here are personal. For a colleague inside the Los Angeles delivery area, office deliveries arrive between noon and 5 p.m.; courier parcels come on business days.

Birthday delivery questions

Which addresses can get a birthday basket on the day it is ordered?

What if the birthday falls on a weekend?

Same-day delivery, only in the Los Angeles delivery area, runs on Saturdays and Sundays too. Elsewhere the courier works Monday to Friday, so send it to arrive on the Friday before, or pick a later date at checkout.

Who can accept a basket with wine, champagne or whiskey?

Someone 21 or older who shows photo ID. If nobody of that age will be in, choose a basket with no alcohol; those need no ID.
