Gift Baskets

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

Most gift baskets in South Africa are bought off a supermarket shelf: 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, with real raffia, real ribbon and real presentation, layered around what the recipient actually enjoys rather than 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 in 2 to 4 business days, and a free handwritten card in every basket. For the deeper read on choosing the right one, see our 40 gift basket ideas guide.

Best-Selling Gift Baskets by Price Tier

These are the baskets we pack most often, grouped by budget so you can shop by spend, and our ultimate guide to gift boxes covers how we build each one.

Under R1,000, our 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, our mid-tier: the Nuts and Nibbles hamper at R1,020, the Let's Celebrate Gift Hamper at R1,485, and the 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, our luxury tier: 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, each pairing champagne with long-stemmed roses and premium treats. Our luxury gift box guide explains what lifts a basket into this tier.

Gift Baskets by Occasion

For birthday gift boxes, the Let's Celebrate Gift Hamper is our most-reordered birthday basket. Pair it with a bunch from our birthday flowers range for the full gesture. For thank you gift boxes, smaller lands better than oversized, and Little Jams and Treats and Sunshine in a Gift Box are the two we ship most. For just because gift boxes, a small considered indulgence carries more weight than a calendar-driven gift because there is no obligation behind it.

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 for 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 year-end corporate gifting, lock orders in by mid-November to guarantee delivery in the final week of trading, and our Boss's Day gift ideas feature helps with the workplace picks. For Mother's Day gift boxes, soft and considered wins: spa, treats and a handwritten card hit the right register.

The most popular brackets are R500 to R700 for colleagues and casual gifts, R800 to R1,500 for close friends and family, and 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 by courier in 2 to 4 business days with tracking. Cities covered include Durban, Pretoria, Stellenbosch, Gqeberha, 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 a woven basket and a gift box meant cardboard. Today our gift baskets and gift hampers ranges carry the same quality of contents in different presentation styles, so browse both and let the contents guide you.

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.

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 a bespoke basket 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 and default to snack, coffee or chocolate boxes instead. Our get well soon gift boxes range is built around hospital-friendly contents.

Are your gift baskets better than a supermarket basket?

Supermarket baskets are pre-packaged on a warehouse pallet, the 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, 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.
