Birthday Gift Baskets

Looking for birthday gift baskets? Right now this page holds one design, Classic Red Roses, a hand-tied bouquet of a dozen or more red roses with fresh foliage, made by a local florist near the recipient.

Our fruit and gourmet baskets sit in a separate collection, and the guide below explains how they differ.

Birthday gift baskets or roses?

How baskets and bouquets differ

Our gift baskets are mostly fruit and gourmet food. Those that ship by carrier say so on the product page; they're never same-day, the estimate shows at checkout, and at hospitals, hotels and colleges they go to the mail room or receiving desk. Classic Red Roses is florist-delivered, so it can arrive the same day.

Sizing Classic Red Roses

Classic Red Roses comes in 12, 18 or 24 stems. A dozen is the traditional romantic count, and the larger sizes read as a bigger gesture for a partner or a milestone birthday. For more ideas, browse our birthday gifts.

Birthday gift basket questions

Can a birthday gift basket arrive the same day?

Not if it ships by carrier. Those baskets are never same-day, and the delivery estimate appears at checkout. Florist arrangements such as Classic Red Roses can arrive the same day when ordered by 2:00 PM ET on weekdays or 1:30 PM ET on Saturday.

What makes a good birthday gift basket?

The best basket matches their taste: fruit for someone health-minded, savory snacks for a grazer, sweets for a dessert lover. Pairing a basket with flowers and a card in your own words makes it feel more personal than a basket alone.

Can I add a birthday message?

Yes. Type your message at checkout and it's included on a card with the gift. You can also add a balloon to most flower orders, a festive touch for birthday basket delivery days when flowers are part of the plan.
