How it is made
Made by hand, to your order
We start packing once the order is in, choosing items to suit the recipient, the style, the spend and the extras you picked.
Looked over before it goes
Each one is inspected, wrapped and only then sent out.
Swaps and stand-ins
Seasonal or fresh items can sell out; any swap keeps the size, the style and the value.
What is not fixed
The precise products vary with the season, but your choices always lead.
What we promise
A last check on every basket
Shipped to your door
Order before the daily cut-off for eligible addresses in our delivery area; product and ZIP-code eligibility apply.
Packed after you order
Baskets are packed by hand when the order arrives.
