Most-sent birthday baskets, by budget

Every basket here is on sale today and was bought as a birthday gift in at least two of the years 2023–2026. Each heading gives that price range's share of birthday orders. The Happy Birthday Cookie Gift Set finished clearly ahead of every other gift still sold, so it is the one card with a rank; ranks leave out gifts the store no longer offers. The rest run from the lowest price, at today's prices.

Pointers from the birthday orders

A cookie with the message on it

Baked treats turned up in 33% of birthday orders, against 5% of all orders. The Happy Birthday Cookie Gift Set ($119.99) pairs a giant chocolate chip cookie reading Happy Birthday with a bottle of wine, a plush bear and a live-edge board.

Sparkling wine for the toast

Sparkling wine went into 21% of birthday orders, while still wine dropped to 5%. The Wonderful Birthday Champagne set adds two flutes and dark chocolate to the bottle. The champagne baskets hold more.

For someone who doesn't drink

No ID is needed for the tea time box with blueberry tea and almond cookies, the dessert box with truffles, or the coffee break basket with coffee and chocolate-covered blueberries. Browse all the baskets without alcohol.

When the birthday falls on a weekend

21% of birthday orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. Couriers only run on weekdays, so a weekend birthday is best marked with a Friday delivery, ordered by Thursday at 2 p.m.

Cheese and charcuterie stand out

Cheese or charcuterie was in 6% of birthday orders, compared with 1% of all orders. The birthday charcuterie basket lays truffle salami, gouda, olives and antipasto on a Happy Birthday tray, with no alcohol. See the cheese and charcuterie baskets too.

A single basket is the norm

95% of birthday orders held one gift and 5% held two or more, so one basket matched to the person is the usual approach.

Staff and client birthdays

Businesses placed 8% of birthday orders, well below their 35% share of all orders from 2023 to 2025, so most birthday baskets here are sent by individuals. A company marking an employee's or a client's birthday can start from the corporate gifting page or the co-worker collection. Deliveries to offices follow the same weekday timing.

Your birthday questions answered

Can the basket arrive on the birthday itself?

Yes, when the birthday is a weekday: order by 2 p.m. the business day before and the basket is delivered in Montreal and most of Quebec on the birthday. Outlying addresses can need longer; checkout shows their estimate.

What if the birthday is on a Saturday or Sunday?

Baskets are not delivered at weekends, so the Friday before is the closest day. For that, order by 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Do any birthday baskets come without alcohol?

Yes: the dessert box, the coffee break basket, the tea time box and the charcuterie basket hold none. Anything with alcohol must be accepted by someone 18 or older showing photo ID.

What will delivery cost?

The charge depends on where the basket is going; checkout adds it before you confirm the order.

The order tracking page has the latest status, or phone +1 (514) 410-7979.
