Cons

Questions about each
Colorland
How cheap is a Colorland gift to start with?+
Items start at £0.09, a low entry point for a personalized gift. Colorland holds position 2 of 90 on starting price among the brands compared, so the headline figure is not a narrow loss leader. The number that decides the order is the delivered total, because delivery sits on top of the item price.
What does Colorland charge for delivery?+
Shipping runs £6.99 to £8.99 and is added to the order rather than folded into the item price. On a basket sitting at the £0.09 entry point, that charge is a large share of what you actually pay. Larger orders spread the same charge across more items, which is why a multi-gift basket works out cheaper per gift than a single small order.
Hickory Farms
How much does a Hickory Farms gift box cost?+
Boxes start at $15.99. That is an entry price for gift baskets rather than a per serving figure, so the cost depends on the size and contents you pick. Shipping is added on top from from $9.99.
Can I get a Hickory Farms box delivered the next day?+
Yes, next day delivery is available. Only 51.3% of the brands on the site can match that, which makes it the standout feature here. Delivery is limited to US and CA, so check your address is served before ordering a dated gift.
