It happens—you suddenly remember that you need a gift. Maybe it’s for a friend’s birthday lunch or a housewarming that’s been on your calendar for weeks now. Whatever the situation, you need this gift now. Luckily, you still have options beyond the gift card, and it’s all thanks to the curated gift baskets here at Third & Main. Our thoughtful collections mean you can snag a last-minute gift basket that doesn’t feel last-minute.
What Makes a Gift Feel Last-Minute—And How To Avoid It
It’s less the gift itself that can feel like an after-thought, although anything you can pick up at the gas station definitely implies you grabbed it on the way over. It’s more the lack of thought. Anything that seems mass produced, wildly impersonal or sloppily presented gives the impression of little to no effort, and that’s what makes the whole thing feel rushed and last-minute.
Here at Biggest Little Baskets, we take enormous pride in curating our gift baskets. We have photos and descriptions of every gift basket and box we assemble, but they’re all just a little different, and that contributes to the sense that someone really put a lot of work and care into the finished piece. Our goal is to create something charming and thoughtful, and we never, ever skimp on quality. Even if time is tight and you need something ready as soon as possible (in which case, contact us directly before ordering!), the gift basket itself will never feel last-minute.
Our Favorite Last-Minute Gift Baskets (That Look Totally Thoughtful)
Honestly, we love all of the gift baskets in our collection, but there are a few that really stand out. Our Classic Gourmet Charcuterie Gift Basket is a foodie’s dream, stocked with everything they need for a standout charcuterie setup (and that includes the board itself). We include sweet, savory, sour and salty flavors, along with a selection of meats, cheeses, spreads, crisps and crackers. It’s all artfully arranged in one of our beautiful leather-handle baskets, making for a gift that looks anything but last-minute. Petite Treat Gift Basket is a smaller version with similar offerings, minus the meats and heavier on the sweets! Our Tea Time Gift Basket is a versatile option that works beautifully for the hostess, housewarming or dear friend.
How Biggest Little Baskets Make Last-Minute Look Luxurious
We understand that time is of the essence, and all of the gift baskets on our website can be quickly assembled and shipped (or picked up at our facility on Riggins Court, if you’re in Reno!). Our pre-curated baskets feel tailored and thoughtful because, well, they are! We put a lot of thought and effort into every basket we assemble, and we’re happy to include a personal gift message on your behalf. So if you’re running late, don’t stress!
