When would it arrive?

Type the recipient's postal code to see the earliest delivery date for an order placed now. A date up to Thursday, December 24 means it lands before Christmas; anything later means ordering sooner or making it a gift for the days after.

The answer comes from the store's delivery service, the same one checkout uses. Deliveries run Monday to Friday.

The baskets chosen most for Christmas

All twelve baskets here were ordered as Christmas gifts in at least two of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons. They are grouped by what those Christmas orders came to. No basket finished clearly enough ahead of the next to earn a rank, so none carries one. Prices are the current ones.

Picking the right basket

Six things the season's orders point to.

Wine leads at Christmas

Wine was in 48% of Christmas orders, more than the 38% of all orders 2023–2025. The Christmas wine baskets hold the full choice, and the Christmas Gift Board with Palatine Hills Red Wine and Acacia Cutting Board is one of the picks above.

Without alcohol

For someone who doesn't drink, or an address where no adult will be in to show ID, the Holiday Cozy Classics No Alcohol Gift Basket with Assorted Treats ($108.99) and the Happy Holidays Chocolate Gift Basket with Assorted Truffles ($63.99) contain no alcohol. More are among the Christmas baskets without alcohol.

Festive names near the day

In the final week, 42% of orders held a gift named for Christmas or the holidays, far more than the 5% among orders placed four weeks or more ahead. The Christmas gift baskets collect them.

Bubbly or beer

Sparkling wine went into 9% of Christmas orders and beer into 3%. Both have their own Christmas ranges: with champagne and with beer.

Usually a single basket

97% of Christmas orders held one gift and 3% held two or more. For a list of clients or a whole team, see the business section below.

Weekend orders

13% of Christmas orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. Deliveries run Monday to Friday, so a weekend order arrives on Tuesday at the earliest.

Client and staff gifts

Businesses placed 48% of Christmas orders, against 35% across all orders 2023–2025. 42% of their Christmas orders went in more than two weeks before December 25, while 21% came in the final week.
