Our verdict
The Gift Basket Store is a US gift shop for buyers who want a personalised hamper or gift box delivered fast, with prices starting at $39.99 and next day delivery offered. It suits gifting occasions rather than repeat subscriptions, and the separate delivery charge is the line to watch before you order.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of $39.99 sits alongside the other gift shops compared on price from rather than at either extreme.
- Personalization is offered and next day delivery is available, so a gift can be made specific to the recipient and still arrive in time.
- Product types cover hampers, gift boxes and personalized in one shop, so hampers, gift boxes and personalised gifts sit under one roof.
- A 7 day return window gives buyers room to open the gift and check the contents.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a delivery or damage question does not have to wait on email.
Cons
- Same day delivery is not offered, so a last minute gift has to be planned around next day delivery and the 2pm EST order cutoff.
- The freshness guarantee is 0 days, so nothing is promised if fruit or chocolate in a hamper arrives tired.
- Shipping runs $9 to $22, which adds a real charge on top of a $39.99 starting price for smaller gifts.
- There is no subscription, so a repeated birthday gift has to be ordered again each time and the $9 to $22 delivery charge applies afresh.
Who it suits
- US buyers who need a personalised hamper or gift box there the next day.
- Gift senders who want several product types in one place: hampers, gift boxes and personalized.
- Shoppers comfortable adding $9 to $22 for delivery on top of a $39.99 starting price.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a photo led personal gift range: CEWE lists gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts, reaching well past boxes and hampers.
- Buyers who want a gift card in the same order: Jochen Schweizer carries gift boxes and gift cards.
- Shoppers wanting a tighter gift set range rather than a personalised hamper mix: Bourbon Concierge lists gift boxes and personalized.
Pricing
Gift baskets start at $39.99, and that is the entry price a buyer sees rather than a typical spend. Delivery sits outside it: shipping runs $9 to $22, so a modest hamper costs the basket plus the delivery charge and not the headline figure alone. Nothing in the terms turns shipping free at the entry level, and no membership or tiered rate is published, so a larger basket spreads the same delivery charge more cheaply than a small one. Read the total rather than the sticker when you weigh this shop against a gift box seller that folds delivery into the price.
What it does well
Personalization is offered, so the contents or the message can be made specific to the person receiving it, and that is the feature that separates this shop from sellers shipping one fixed hamper to everyone. Next day delivery is available, which is what makes the range workable for birthdays, thank you gifts and a replacement sent the morning after something goes wrong. Returns run 7 days, long enough to open the box and check what arrived rather than accepting it on trust, though not generous if a problem is noticed late.
Who runs it
The shop runs as Gift Basket Store Corporation, a company based in the United States, and the terms, delivery options and returns are written for a US customer throughout. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a question about a delivery slot, a personalised message or a damaged item can go to phone or chat rather than waiting on email, and a help centre covers the routine questions on your own. For a business buying a run of gifts, that mix of direct contact and self service is the practical part to check.

Frequently asked questions
What does a gift basket cost here?+
The cheapest baskets sit at $39.99, and that figure is the entry price rather than a typical spend. Delivery is added on top, so the amount actually paid for a modest hamper is the basket plus the delivery charge. A larger basket spreads that charge more thinly than a small one.
Is there a delivery charge on top of the basket price?+
Yes, shipping runs $9 to $22 and it is charged in addition to the basket price, not folded into it. A $39.99 basket therefore arrives costing meaningfully more than its listed price, so the delivery charge is worth budgeting for before you commit to a basket.
Can the basket be personalised?+
Personalization is offered, and the product types run to hampers, gift boxes and personalized, so personalised gifts sit alongside plain hampers and boxes rather than being a separate range. It matters most for birthdays and thank you gifts, where a chosen item or printed message changes the gift more than the packaging does.
How quickly will my order arrive?+
Next day delivery is available, which makes the shop workable for a gift needed the following morning. Same day delivery is not offered, so a morning order still means planning ahead. The 2pm EST order cutoff is the time that decides whether next day remains reachable for your basket.
What if the box arrives damaged?+
Returns run 7 days, so a damaged hamper or a broken item inside it can be raised inside that window. That is long enough to open the gift and check the contents rather than taking the box on trust, and support is reachable by phone or chat for a delivery problem.
Which countries do you deliver to?+
Deliveries run in US only, and the shop is based in the United States, so prices, delivery options and returns are written for a US customer throughout. A buyer elsewhere needs a forwarder, and the $39.99 entry price does not travel cleanly into another market.
Is there a subscription or repeat gifting option?+
Subscription is not offered, so there is no automatic recurring hamper and no way to schedule a birthday box once and leave it. Repeat gifting means ordering again each time, and with no standing order the 7 day return window is the only correction step in the process.
How do I get help with an order?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, a fuller setup than an email only shop. A delivery question can go to phone or chat, and a help centre answers the routine questions without a wait. For a personalised order, confirming the message before the cutoff is quicker than sorting it afterwards.
Is the fruit in the baskets organic?+
Sourcing is listed as organic on the fresh fruit basket, so the produce option is described as organic. It is a narrow claim covering one sourcing label on one listing, and the hamper range as a whole is not defined by it, so check the product page for what each basket states.
