Gift Baskets

Hand-Packed Gift Baskets, Curated by Cape Town Florists Since 1999

Most gift baskets in South Africa are bought from a supermarket shelf. They are tidy, predictable, and exactly the same one your colleague sent last week.

Ours are different. Every basket is hand-packed at our Claremont studio on the day of order. Real raffia, real ribbon, real presentation. Layered around what the recipient actually enjoys, not whatever the warehouse had spare. We have been doing this since 1999.

Same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg before 12pm, Monday to Saturday. Nationwide delivery in 2 to 4 business days to any address a courier can reach. Every basket includes a free handwritten card and tracking from dispatch to door.

Best-Selling Gift Baskets

These are the baskets we pack most often, grouped by tier.

Under R1,000 (entry tier): the Sunshine in a Gift Box at R500 and the Ferrero Rocher 300g box at R599 are our most-reordered budget picks. The Mango Groove Snack Box at R690 and Little Jams and Treats at R825 fill the upper-entry bracket.

R1,000 to R2,000 (mid-tier): the Nuts and Nibbles hamper at R1,020, Let's Celebrate Gift Hamper at R1,485, and Cheese and Bread Hamper at R1,520 cover most milestone moments. The Healthy Collection at R1,725 and Luxury Picnic Gift Box at R1,975 round out the tier.

R2,000 and up (luxury): the Fabulous Premium Platter at R2,340 and our two flagship opulence boxes, the Striking Opulence Gift Box and Pure Opulence Gift Box at R3,090, are the ones we pack for serious milestones. Both pair champagne with long-stemmed roses and premium treats.

Gift Baskets by Occasion

For birthday gift boxes, the Let's Celebrate Gift Hamper is our most-reordered birthday basket. Pair with a bouquet from our birthday flowers range for the full gesture.

For thank you gift boxes, smaller lands better than oversized. Little Jams and Treats and Sunshine in a Gift Box are the two we ship most often.

For just because gift boxes, our small considered indulgences range carries more weight than calendar-driven gifts because there is no obligation behind them.

For congratulations gift boxes (promotion, new home, engagement) and graduation gift boxes, the Striking Opulence Gift Box is the flagship pick.

For get well soon gift boxes, keep contents practical and avoid strong scents in hospital deliveries. The Healthy Collection is built around this brief.

For sympathy gift boxes, a quiet comfort basket to the family home in the days after a loss often lands better than flowers alone.

For festive season gift boxes and corporate gifting at year-end, browse the seasonal range. Lock orders in by mid-November to guarantee delivery in the final week of trading.

For Mother's Day gift boxes, soft and considered wins. Spa, treats, and a handwritten card hits the right register.

Gourmet food hampers feature cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and well-paired beverages. The Cheese and Bread Hamper and Fabulous Premium Platter lead this theme.

Spa and wellness baskets force the recipient to slow down. Bath bombs, body lotion, scented candles, hand cream. Our gifts for her range carries the curated edit.

Wine, champagne, and spirits baskets for milestone moments. Our gift boxes with champagne and wine include Krone, Moet, Louis Roederer, and Steenberg pairings.

Healthy baskets with dried fruit, nuts, macadamia oil, rooibos, biltong, and seasonal fresh fruit. The Healthy Collection at R1,725 is the flagship wellness hamper.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do gift baskets cost in South Africa?

Our gift baskets start at R500 for the Sunshine in a Gift Box entry-tier and run up to R3,090 for our flagship Pure Opulence Gift Box. Most popular price brackets: R500 to R700 for colleagues and casual gifts, R800 to R1,500 for close friends and family, R1,500 to R3,500 for milestones and serious moments.

Can I get same-day gift basket delivery in Cape Town or Johannesburg?

Yes. Order before 12pm Monday to Saturday for same-day delivery across Cape Town (Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, City Bowl, Constantia) and Johannesburg (Sandton, Rosebank, Bryanston, Morningside, Fourways). Same-day delivery is included at no extra cost in the standard metro footprint.

Do you deliver gift baskets nationwide in South Africa?

Yes. Every basket labelled "Nationwide" on our site ships via courier in 2 to 4 business days with tracking. Cities covered include Durban, Pretoria, Stellenbosch, Port Elizabeth, Polokwane, Bloemfontein, East London, and any other address a courier can reach.

What is the difference between a gift basket and a gift hamper?

In South Africa, the terms are used interchangeably. Historically a hamper meant woven basket and a gift box meant cardboard. Today our gift baskets and gift hampers ranges contain the same products in different packaging styles. Browse both, the contents are what matters.

What is the best gift basket for a man?

A snack-and-nibble hamper, a cheese-and-bread combo, or a proper chocolate box. Our Nuts and Nibbles and Fabulous Premium Platter are the two we ship most often to men. For a curated edit, browse gifts for him or our brother brand Flower Guy.

What is the best gift basket for a woman?

Spa and pamper hampers, chocolate and wine combos, or a snack-and-tea basket. Browse our gifts for her collection for the curated edit. For flagship sends, the Pure Opulence Gift Box with champagne and white roses is our most-ordered gesture.

Can I personalise a gift basket?

Every basket includes a free handwritten card. Add your message at checkout and we handwrite it onto a card that travels inside the basket. For corporate orders, we add your company branding to the card. For bespoke baskets built around a specific flower, wine, or product, contact our Claremont studio directly.

Do you deliver gift baskets to hospitals?

Yes, in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Avoid heavily scented spa baskets for oncology and ICU wards — default to snack, coffee, or chocolate gift boxes. Our get well soon gift boxes range is built around hospital-friendly contents.

Are FF gift baskets better than Woolworths, Clicks, or Dis-Chem?

Supermarket gift baskets are pre-packaged on a warehouse pallet — same one your colleague sent last week. Ours are hand-packed on the day of order at our Claremont studio, layered around the tier you choose, presented in a real basket with raffia and tissue paper, and delivered with a handwritten card. At the same R500 to R700 price point, our Sunshine in a Gift Box and Mango Groove Snack Box are the direct upgrades that land better.

Can I track my gift basket delivery?

Yes. Every nationwide order ships with courier tracking from dispatch to door. For Cape Town and Johannesburg same-day orders, our driver updates you when the basket is en route and again on delivery.
